REDA v5.0 by R & P Computer Services Registration $ 35.00
DATA MAY91 REDA DATABASE BBS DOOR SDA TEXT ONLINE
FILES: reda50.sdn
From the Netherlands
Supports SDA format
The name REDA is a combination of REmote DAtabase. It is a
all-purposes database designed for communication programs
like bulletin board systems. Although REDA is made for
remote operation, you may use it as a local database as well,
for instance as a video-cassette database or as an electronic
magazine database. You may fill REDA with all kinds of
information using ordinary ascii/ansi textfiles. REDA can
handle up to 1100 textfiles. REDA is compatible with the SDA
textfile format used by the Software Distribution Network
(sm).
Using (collorfull) textfiles you may fill REDA with all kinds
of information, tagged to one or more keywords/areas. Some
examples of keywords/areas are: DISK, COMPUTER,
COMMUNICATION, CARS and so on. Selecting the right
keywords/areas an user can select the wanted textfile(s).
For example an user may select all the files about COMPUTERS
using the keyword COMPUTER, and select all the files about
NCR systems using NCR. To select all the files about NCR
COMPUTERS, he has to use the keywords COMPUTER and NCR. REDA
can search on at maximum five keywords at once.
REDA supports:
- cancelling the text transmission using Ctrl-C, Ctrl-K and
Escape. *
- One .TXT file for ASCII as well as ANSI mode.
- LOGO, AREA and EXIT files.
- menus and all other questions in your own style, language
and colors.
- a maximum capacity of 1100 textfiles.
- An optional AREAS (keywords) list.
REDA 5.0 supports two languages. When loggin on, REDA will
ask the user wich of the two languages (s)he prefer. You are
free to choose the languages. We recommend to use your
native language as the primary language and English as then
secundairy language.
While running this program it will create a list called
BASE.FIL containing data of every .TXT (or .SDA) file it
finds. The file BASE.FILL contains the filename, keylist and
discription of every .TXT file REDAKEY have found. The
keylist is the first row in a .TXT file, the discription the
second row. Every time you want to add new textfiles you
have to run REDAKEY.EXE. REDAKEY will read the textfiles
sequential as found in the directory. If you want the items
sorted alphabetically or by date you have to sort the
directory first.
