CED - The Clipper Environment
CED is an integrated development environment used by xBase and Clipper
developers to assist in creating software applications. Forget about having to
purchase expensive database management tools; CED will cover all of your
needs. Integrate all of your favorite programming tools and utilities into
a menu system; edit, compile and link source code without having to ever use
Ms-Dos. Powerful database management utilities are readily available at the
touch of a key.
CED is a powerful replacement for expensive database programs to
create and manage database files. Users requiring a means of storing and
manipulating information in a database can easily and intuitively use this
program to achieve their goal. Easy to use menus and popup lists are used
throughout to eliminate confusion and enhance productivity.
CED has been in development and used for over two years by experienced
programmers developing real-world applications. It was written by a programmer
for programmers; every useful feature imaginable has been integrated into it
to make for a total system. Everything from creating databases to producing
reports and formletters has been tied into CED; here is a list of features
found in the most current version:
User definable color scheme - use predefined color palettes or create
your own.
View any size ascii file with full panning capability.
Create and edit *.Dbf and *.Ntx files.
Utilities for copying, renaming and deleting files.
Extremely powerful database engine that defies description. You can
add/delete/edit/search for records; create filters and indexes on the
fly; lock columns, add,swap or delete columns from view; define queries
to locate records. Powerful print capability with file/screen/printer
output (you can define what fields are actually printed). Full mouse
support. Full fledged memo field support; you can resize the browse
window and view the memo field contents as you scroll through the
browse display. Online help. Use index files to locate information
quickly.
Edit text files up to 64k with built in text editor, or use your
own editor.
Compile and link your source code without having to leave CED.
Use your favorite make utility without leaving CED.
Execute any *.Exe file and return back to CED from a popup filelist.
Create customized columnar reports, formletters and labels with optional
query or tagged records.
View dBase compatible *.Mem file contents.
Intelligent APPEND FROM database import.
Copy selected records from an existing database to another.
Perform statistical analysis on numeric data fields.
Perform global replace on database field contents.
Search for duplicate database records with optional delete.
Pack a database to remove deleted records.
Convert delimited files to database format.
Export database file information to delimited or SDF format files.
Create Wordperfect and MS Word compatible mailmerge files.
Zap an existing database.
Create/modify dBase compatible *.Lbl and *.Frm files.
Display inkey() and lastkey() values.
Popup ascii chart.
Fully integrated menu program allows you to integrate your favorite
utilities into CED; all but 5k of memory is freed to execute the
program. After the program is terminated you are returned to CED.
Ms-Dos shell.
Define default *.Obj, *.Lib and *.Clp files for the link process.
Uses extended/expanded memory for swap files to run external programs
automatically; uses up to 16 meg of memory for database operations.
As you see, a lot of functionality is integrated into CED; because it is
an ongoing project, further refinements are always being made to ensure that
programming needs are met. User inputs are valued and are written into the
program if it enhances the product.
Even if you are not a programmer, you still benefit from CED; almost any
concievable database operation can be performed with power and ease. And you
can smile all the way to the bank, since you don't need to fork out the bucks
to buy the usual commercial applications. You won't get lost using CED, because
58 pages of extensive documentation using screen captures is included. Forget
about clumsy commands to get to your data; a couple of mouse clicks and you
are on your way.
CED is marketed as shareware; a full-featured demo is available on two
different bulletin boards:
Jet Blast (505) 434-9733 : Area 8
dClip Support (714) 263-0226
Compuserve
The filename is named Clipshel.Exe, and it is approximately 417k. The most
recent version is always posted to these BBS'; all menu options are operational
and uncrippled. There is a 10-minute time limit to the program; when it elapses
it will return you back to Ms-Dos. You can use the demo as many times as you
desire. If you don't have a modem or can't afford a 417k download, send me
$5.00 and I will send you the latest demonstration copy to your mailbox.
What is the price for all of this power and functionality? $39+$6 shipping
and handling. When you purchase CED you get free support and cheap upgrades;
you also get an 120+ function Clipper 5.2 library with Norton Guides database
free of charge. Do yourself a favor; download it, play with it for awhile and
see for yourself - you can't go wrong.
