The Builder report source code generator allows the user to create
Column, Label, or Freeform report source code. Subtotals and
totals are supported. No more locking files to run Clipper report
forms, run Builder reports anytime!
The Builder function library is an extensive set of callable
routines. This library (unlike many) was created in business
application settings for the purpose of creating business
applications. Only those routines that were really needed were
left in the library - no fat here!

I chose the name Aeolus, the ancient Greek lesser god of the four
winds (to direct the Clipper ships!).
Hello, my name is Mark Kania and I have been a computer consultant
in St. Paul/Minneapolis since 1989. Most of my work has been in
Clipper and over several years I developed a powerful set of functions.
These functions were developed for business applications while developing
business applications in the field--not by some 'expert' who doesn't
deal with the business world anymore.
After creating a library of routines I was satisfied with, I found I
was no longer spending much time debugging, however, I was spending
most of my time positioning text and data on screens. Even though I
had other applications to clone from, I still spent enormous amounts
of time and effort to get screens just right.
So I decided to write Builder to save some time and effort. After
completing the first pieces of Builder I felt I was on to something.
A little over a year later I applied and was accepted as a member of
The Association of Shareware Professionals.
A software company is born.
We hope to have a BBS up soon (fall of 1993) at the same number below,
thank you for considering the Builder we feel it is one of the finest
code generators on the market today, shareware or otherwise. we know
you will find it as useful as many others already do.
