- ==========================
-
- Impact! is a general purpose database management program, having data import
- and export facilities utilizing the new draft Acorn C.S.V. file standard.
- This allows instant data transfer to and from spread sheet applications, such
- as Pipedream, Squirrel, etc, via direct RAM transfer where available.
-
- Being fully RISC-OS compliant, it is suitable for any Acorn computer running
- RISC-OS 2 or 3, having one M.Byte or more of memory, including the A4, A3010,
- A4000, A5000 and A540, etc, and will run in any screen mode.
-
- It allows databases to be constructed by dragging the required field types
- from a menu window onto a data record card, which may be fully customised
- with user defined legends and boxes, in any shape or colour.
-
- Powerfull data filters may be defined and saved. These may be further combined
- via AND, OR, and NOR functions etc, allowing complex data selections to be
- easily built, just by making menu selections.
-
- Multiple indexes may be contructed and saved, based on any file field, and
- these may have filters applied enabling selected sorting to be carried out
- with ease.
-
- Impact! also incorporates facilities to make use of the Impulse module,
- produced by Computer Concepts. This public domain module allows easy data
- exchange between participating desktop applications, using the RISC-OS
- message protocols.
-
- These facilities allow Impact! to merge data from the user's custom designed
- databases, into Impression, and other programs. Facilities are also included
- to simplify the construction of merged documents by simply dragging Impact!
- data fields from the data card to the document, and to insert other commands
- by menu selection, and icon dragging.
-
- Using the above facilities an infinite variety of reports, mail merge letters,
- etc, may be produced, almost entirely by menu selections and mouse dragging,
- making Impact! the most easy to use database available.
