Description: TOPAZ is a collection of units with over 280
routines that integrate a broad spectrum of
procedures and functions into a single programmer's
tool-kit. TOPAZ enables Turbo Pascal and QuickPascal
programmers to write with "dBase-like" syntax in
Pascal, permitting you to read, write, create and
manipulate dBASE data files.
The package comes with free utilities to create dBASE
files, programming examples, a dBASE-like report generator
and a code generator. TOPAZ provides a powerful comprehensive
platform from which you can generate database applications of
any type.
Features: High-level dBASE database file access with numerous
commands such as USE, SELECT, GO, GOTOP,
GOBOTTOM, SKIP, FIND, COPY_TO, SET_FILTER_TO,
SET_RELATION_TO, BROWSE, EDIT, REPORTFORM,
APPEND, REPLACE, etc. Low-level dBASE file access
is also available.
Automatic and transparent data type conversion
between dBASE field types and Pascal data types.
Sophisticated data entry routines which provide easy
multi-field editing with unlimited data input
validation at the individual field level. Additional
input formatting with picture masks, range limits,
color control and easy field by field help
specification, is available.
Numerous useful high-level routines are included for
comprehensive date and time math, print spooling,
string manipulation, moving bar menus, dialog boxes,
pick lists, progress bars, screen and window
management, and more. TOPAZ also includes support
for screens produced with the Saywhat?! screen
generator, also a product of Software Science Inc.
Powerful utilities are provided including a
template-based code generator, a file
definition/creation program, a report generator, a
dBASE file browser and a file structure displayer.
Documentation is in the form of a 400 page manual

cross-reference table and code samples on nearly
every page, as well as sample programs and sample
templates for the code generator.
