First there were only file managers.

Then came the slow, interactive programs like dBASE.
\\
Then came the compiler-only products like
Clipper and the bunch.

VP-Info Level 1 has an
EXTENDED dBASE-LIKE PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
\\
xBASE programmers feel right at home
. . . but they LOVE these new features:
\\
MENU function instantly creates "light-bar" menus
\\
BOX, SCROLL, WINDOW and SCREEN commands for fast,
fancy displays like these
\\
POST command makes accounting and inventory applications
a snap
\\
LIBRARY for high-speed text-file access and display
\+
xBASE programmers feel right at home
\\
. . . and they LOVE these new features:
\\
User-designed input forms for EDIT, BROWSE and READ,
created with WYSIWYG ease using VP-Info Level 1's
internal text editor or any ASCII ordinary word processors
\\
ON FIELD gives powerful control over READ operations . . .
even in BROWSE, EDIT and APPEND
\\
Multi-dimensioned arrays
\\
Dozens of powerful new functions
\\
. . . and EVERY single-line command works
interactively!

VP-Info Level 1 is by far the FASTEST,
most flexible database manager
in the shareware market today!
\\
AND -- AS A BONUS -- IT COSTS
LESS THAN ITS BETTER-KNOWN,
LESS POWERFUL COMPETITORS!
\+
HOW FAST IS VP-Info Level 1?
══════
\\
Most operations run faster than any version of dBASE.
\\
Typical business applications run 4 TO 10 TIMES FASTER!
\\
Compared to dBASE IV and its many overlay files, constantly
being swapped in and out of memory, VP-Info Level 1 is "lean
and mean" . . . easy to learn and a lot faster to program!
