Small and fast database program
.description
db is a small and fast database program that I wrote after having tested
numerous other PD database programs and always found something lacking or
irritating me. They might have dozens of features not found in db, but
they lacked font sensitivity and a standard GUI look and OS 3.0 behaviour.
My main need was to keep record on addresses and telephone numbers of friends
and companies. Currently in this FreeWare release, db is fixed to be just an
address and telephone database, but this will change. The program is designed
to handle information of your choice, but that ability will probably only be
included in a commercial product I plan to call REG.
A partial list of db's features include:
o Dynamic memory handling. Number of records and fields only limited by
free memory.
o GadTool based, gives a standard look and feel.
o Mouse and keyboard driven.
o ASL requesters for flexible loads and saves.
o Commodore's Clipboard for flexible interaction with other programs.
o Font sensitivity.
o AppWindow -just drag and drop database icons on db to load.
o Online MenuHelp -Press HELP key when selecting a menu item.
o Fast and flexible find function using AmigaDOS patterns.
o Fast and flexible sort function. Multiple sort orders can be specified.
o Label and standard ASCII export feature.
