Webster (Houston), TX 77598-8177 USA
EZ-Forms DataBase <tm> brings the utmost in simplicity and power to your
work by integrating data management with full forms processing.
? Imagine being able to enter information into a database as you fill out
a form!
? Imagine searching for a particular form by typing keystrokes, instead of
laboriously searching through endless file folders!
? Imagine being able to generate various printed reports from a single form's
data!
? Imagine being able to fill in forms by retrieving existing information
(pick lists) in any database (relational pick lists)!
! Imagine no longer... EZ-Forms DataBase is here!
Simply read in your form to create a database. The data you enter, will
automatically be stored into your own database!
And guess what? EZ-Forms Database reads/writes files in the industry
standard dBase (".DBF") file format. So, you can even use data that
has been created by other dBase compatible programs.
Whether or not you are currently using a forms processor or database,
we've got the easiest inFORMation handler ever devised.
And, we've made data input even easier!
∙Handles 2.1 billion records & 1000 fields/record, bound only by available
disk space.
∙dBase III, III+, and IV .dbf file compatability.
∙Full tutorial (for the novice) that automatically sets up all

∙Extensive on-line manual and context sensitive, as well as user
configuable, custom help.
∙Quickly create a database from any existing form.
∙Easily match database to any existing form.
∙10+ FREE applications included: FILES (on your disk), INVOICE (bills
customers), TIME BILLING, PO (purchase orders), INVENTORY (keeps track
of widgets), SHOPPING (keeps track of stores), PHONEBOOK, CHECKS (fills
out pre-printed checks), CITIES (USA, 1500+), and EZINDEXER (card file).
∙Unlimited RELATIONAL read-from's (including pick lists with browse) and
write-to's speed data entry by automatically interacting with other databases.
∙Query, Seek, Find, Browse modes to efficiently scan your records.
∙User configurable form help (makes even novices form fill-out experts)
and "pick-lists" (multiple choice selections with meaningful explanations)
make data entry effortless.
∙View your database in any form -- even after the fact.
∙Easily modify database format to add/delete fields and change field
names, sizes, and types.
∙Choose which fields show up on a form, and where.
∙Multiple indexes: Have your database pre-sorted every
which way, so you don't have to wait.
∙Duplicate search mode.
∙Merge or append other database files.
∙Newest features include:
∙User configurable form based POP-UP PICK LISTS
as well as RELATIONAL PICK LISTS.
∙User configurable FORM-FIELD HELP.

∙Keyboard MACROS for those repetitive tasks.
∙MEMO FIELDS that allow meaningful comments.
∙Quick report feature for on-the-fly record counting, summing, and averaging.
∙Automatic calculations or character manipulation during data entry.
∙Field validations; numeric, date, logical.
∙If you already use another database, you can use EZ-FORMS DataBase, usually
without having to re-enter any data. We can even import/export other file
formats, like "fixed length", "ASCII", etc.

∙Automatic default form creation from existing .dbf files.

Notepad, Graphics Walk-around, etc.)

D o i n g D a t a B a s e ? F i l l i n g F o r m s ?
(LAN too?) Read this:
(If not, pass on to someone who is, they'll thank you for it!)
How would you like a dBase compatible, fully relational, network ready,
forms proficient, multi-user database ... WITH NO PROGRAMMING REQUIRED?
Well, you've got it!!!
We have just released v.4.04e of EZ-Forms Database <tm>,
and look at the features:
1. A powerful database that uses the standard dBase file structure,
but is lightning fast. You'll have split second searches. You can
index 80,000 records in about 5 minutes. (Limit is 2.1 billion records)
User "macros" make it a breeze. Try that with any other database.
2. EZ-Forms DataBase-LAN is network ready. (A single user/non-LAN version
is available.) All major networks like Novell, 3-Com, Lan Manager,
ReadyLink, Lantastic, etc. are supported. Your copy will come complete
with a 5 station LAN license (more users, a server, or site license optional).
3. If you are tired of your old, slow, "flat" database, you'll find that
importing your data is simply a few keystrokes away with EZFDB. Our
user-friendly import/export routines will amaze you. You can use your
existing data!
4. Do you need the power of a relational database?
EZ-Forms DataBase is relational. It can "look-up" data from
other databases, thereby speeding up data entry. Forget the limitations
of those pre-historic flat file databases.
5. Want a powerful form generation program?
We are the original. We created EZ-Forms in 1985. This best selling
program creates, fills out, and stores your forms and information.
We normally retail EZ-Forms Executive for $237 (5x users; $79 single),
but its features are totally integrated with EZ-Forms Database.
You not only get a multi-user database, but also a multi-user forms
generation program. EZ-Forms DataBase does it all!
6. Do you use DESQview/QEMM386?
You can have multiple windows of EZ-Forms DataBase running simultaneously
on your machine. One window could be printing labels or creating a new
database while you continue to lookup or process orders in your active window.
7. Do you use Windows 3.x/386?
Again, you can create multiple windows of EZ-Forms Database and do the work
of two people on one machine.
∙ Multi-user means multi-tasking means productivity.
8. Are you busy?
Our on-line tutorial and help screens make learning EZ-Forms DataBase fast.
You'll hardly need our manual. Our intuitive user interface (supports a
mouse too) will keep your nose in your business, not in our manual.
∙ Here's what our customers say about the new EZ-Forms Database:
"The pull down menu interface makes operator training a breeze. In
less than 5 minutes we can have a new operator looking up subscribers,
deleting duplicates in our prospect list, printing labels, and entering
orders. EZ-Forms Database handles our 180,000 record, multiple index
database with ease. We've dropped the word "re-key" from our
vocabulary."
Opportunity Connection Magazine
"We've used EZ-Forms Executive to create beautiful looking forms
for our sales and customer service personnel. Now, with EZ-Forms Database,
all our information is automatically in a database as we fill out
any form. The management information power this provides us is profit
in our pocket."
KAAS Publishing
>"Orders, programs, authors, mailing lists, member lists, prospects
... all in one database. The relational features (of EZ-Forms DataBase)
cut our work load in half. And it's nice to have a multi-user database
that doesn't cost $2000 or more for just a few users. It's a great
value for our small business."
Manhattan Marketing
And finally, there are no hidden catches or limitations. You'll get
the complete package, dBase compatibility, relations, network ready,
multi-user, 5 concurrent station LAN license, form generator, manual,
support, etc. for only $357, additional users are only $48 each.
A single user, non-LAN version, is also available for just $119!
... WHAT A BARGAIN! If you prefer, the *SERVER LICENSE* (up to 100
concurrent users) is only 10 times single user price (additional
users are 10% of the single user price each). We even have regional,
site and unlimited corporate licenses available ... call.

DATELINE: Houston, Texas May 1, 1996
Finally, a database you can really use, with NO PROGRAMMING
REQUIRED! EZX Publishing, the originator of dedicated business
forms processing software for the PC, has released Version 4.0 of
EZ-FORMS DataBase (single user and LAN versions). This product
addresses one of any business' major needs -- management,
manipulation and insertion of related information into various
business forms. EZFDB is a sophisticated dBase compatible, fully
relational database and form filler/creator designed for use by
database novices as well as experts. The reasonably priced LAN
versions (for Novell and most other DOS based networks) make
EZFDB a bona fide bargain. EZFDB is Windows 3.x, DESQview, and
MS/PC-DOS 5/6 & Novell/DR-DOS 6/7 compliant.
EZ-Forms DataBase is a best buy at ONLY $119 (single user edition)
Multi-user, regional, site, LAN and corporate licensing is available.
See below (F8).
Other options include:
5 Station (NON LAN) license is 3xSRP plus 40%SRP for each additional user.
10 Station (LAN OK) license is 4xSRP plus 30%SRP for each additional user.
10 Station Regional license is 5xSRP plus 30%SRP for each additional user.
LAN Server license is 10xSRP for up to 100 users. 10%SRP for each additional.
Unlimited site license is 25xSRP. Corporate wide license is 100xSRP.
End short announcement.
More ...
EZ-Forms DataBase provides much more than just an intelligent
method for creating, managing, and/or filling in common business
forms such as invoices, purchase orders, etc. Explains EZX's GM,
Ed Marion:
"We work under the premise that the basic unit of business is the
form. A form is essentially an empty template into which data is
entered. Under this definition, the ubiquitous mailing label
constitutes a legitimate EZ-Froms DataBase business form. Even a
spreadsheet is nothing more than a rigid, rectangular form. And,
who hasn't heard of `form letters'?"
"The LAN versions of EZ-Forms DataBase are the bargain of the
software industry. Where else can you get a LAN server license
(up to 100 concurrent users) for a major database software
application for only 7 times the single user SRP (suggested
retail price) $???"
EZ-Forms DataBase loads a form generated by an integral forms
editor, or one of the program's own pre-designed forms. It can
automatically produce an input screen for that form.
Alternately, information from any EZ-Forms DataBase input screens
can be loaded into any form, in any order, simply by giving a
common name to both an input screen field and a 'cell' from
within that form. Now companies utilizing EZ-Forms DataBase need
only maintain industry standard dBASE compatible data files,
which will allow them to quickly fill in labels, purchase orders,
sales receipts ... any type of business form. That is, multiple
views of the information in any database. Best of all, because
EZ-Forms DataBase is a genuine relational database, all the
search, sort, view, lookup and select functions you've come to
associate with dBASE and other databases are a part of EZ-Forms
DataBase. The program can even import other file formats, such
as fixed length, ASCII or FileExpress databases, into a dBASE
compatible file. And, because EZFDB generates dBASE files, any
of the dozens of third party products, which use the dBASE
format, will work with EZ-Forms DataBase files.
EZ-Forms DataBase brings all the advantages of having the
industry standard dBASE file format, plus it uses the logical
forms metaphor for data presentation, to the non- "power-user."
The program has extensive pop-up help screens (including user
configurable), the popular "pull-down" type selection bar, macros
for repetative functions, on-the-fly record counting, summing and
averaging report features, logical operators, field validations,
calculations, and even fully editable "memo field."
***NEW FEATURES INCLUDE: User configureable form HELP, PICK
LISTS, Field Sequencing; Relational Pick List Function with
Browse; Word-Wrap between user configured fields; Network
Administration Support (LAN versions); support for over 500
popular printers with quick select at print time; inter- and
intra-database relational functions; full-fledged stylish report
capabilities with headers, footers and pagination; calculated
fields; imports and substitutes; powerful clone function; easy
field add-in/on; auto-start macros; ascending and descending
indexes; and more...
We've also introduced Version 4.0 of the optional Laser Soft Font
Support Pack for the HP LaserJet<tm> Plus, Series II, III, and
compatible printers. This product contains over 130 downloadable
soft fonts which are optimized for forms. The HPLJFSP also
allows the use of graphic images such as signatures, logos, full
page scanned forms, and even allows you to create your own logo
from scratch. The HPLJFSP v.4.0 is only $59. Optional
pre-designed form template packs are also available.
EZX Publishing (a unit of EZX Corporation) also publishes
EZ-Forms Executive, EZ-DiskCopy PRO, and the rest of the
"EZ-Series" of software.
EZ-Forms DataBase requires DOS 3.1 or higher, 512K free RAM, and
a hard drive. You may modify any of the forms (100+) and
applications (10) included with EZ-FORMS DataBase, or design your
own.
In addition to EZ-FORMS DataBase, EZX-Publishing's line of
products include: EZ-Forms Executive ($99); EZ-FORMS PLUS
($59); EZ-DiskCopy PRO (diskette duplication software $129;
EZ-SPREADSHEET ($39); EZX-WORD ($39); and MENU-EZX ($39).
EZ-FORMS is the original PC forms generating software,
and it is still one of the country's most in-demand forms
processing programs.
