INFO-BASE is a file management system for the IBM PC and
compatibles. The structure can be compared to commercial systems
such as Infostar and Versa-Form. This package is 'user-
supported', however, but version 1.0 (as distributed) does not
contain all modules needed for an all-round program. Additional
modules are available in version 2.0, to be ordered for $ 45.
The setup and documentation seem to be thorough, and the
screen design is user friendly. The system as distributed is a
good way to try out a well-designed file manager, but is not
useful for production; without sorting capabilities, you can't
handle much applications well. If the approach suits you well,
you can order the complete system... Zorro
INFO-BASE is FORMS driven; that is you create FORMS (documents)
that function as reports or as DATA entry screens.
If the FORM defines all of the FIELDS that are to be stored in
the DATABASE (a MASTER FORM), then this FORM may be used to
create a DATABASE. Other FORMS which contain some or all of the
DATA FIELDS (SUBFORMS) can then access this same DATABASE.
Two DATABASES (same or different) may be open concurrently,
each accessed by a FORM (same or different FORM).
INFO-BASE is composed of several modules. Each Module has two
sets of help information screens. INFO-BASE is planned to have
the following modules:
1. IBASE Used to enter and update DATA, and to print the
DATA such as in mailmerging or preprinted FORMS.
In version 1.0 IBASE also creates DATABASES.
2. FORMGEN Creates FORMS. It has a text editor for drawing
the FORM and collects information such as CURSOR
SEQUENCE, FIELD POSITION within the DATABASE RE-
CORD, FIELD LABELS (tags), and FIELD YPE (character
or numeric).
3. SORT Sorts the DATABASE (available in Version 2.0 - to
be bought for $ 45 !)
4. UTILITY Clones DATABASES, selects RECORDS based on selec-
tion criteria (available in version 2.0)
