dbLite Version 1.1 Product Description
dbLite is a program written for the IBM PC and compatible computer.
It is DOS based but will run in a window in the Windows operating
system. It was written to keep track of data of all types.
Mailing lists, rolodex phone lists, DayRunner and other Address
Book lists, things-to-do lists, inventory lists, and other
applications which require data acquisition and retrieval. It
outputs printed lists and labels utilizing either laser or dot
matrix printer. It will address envelopes directly, one at a time,
and, using labels, it can be used to address many all at once. It
makes a fine mailing list maintenance program. It works best,
however, as a simple, uncomplicated information management tool.
The people and things it can catalogue are limited only by your
imagination.
dbLite functions much like a flat-format rolodex. It allows users
to store and quickly retrieve information without any set up or
extensive training. Once information has been entered into various
files that information then becomes instantly accessible. The
information becomes easily organized by sorting. Searching allows
for the retrieval of specific data instantly. Finally, hard copy
listings and labels are simple to produce.
Once information has been cataloged, it can be kept up to date with
a minimum of fuss. dbLite allows people to become better organized
instantly. By simply creating an address file, a "things-to-do"
file and a schedule file the program becomes a quick and easy
personal information manager. By producing labels from each of
these files a daytime type scheduler can be updated. Personal
information management tools are normally quite separate from
databases. Because of the clean design and simple operation of
dbLite the program serves well as both.
Because users often have a need to perform calculations while in
the midst of using a computer, dbLite includes math capability.
Not only does this allow calculations to be performed on the fly it
further allows for other functions, such as check book balancing
and math drills to be automated. Again, a clean design and a
simple functioning system allows the program to be quite versatile.
A major strength of any computer program is its usability. Poorly
designed, unattractive programs may have great capability but they
tend to become instant "shelf-ware". Because they are daunting to
users and because they require massive amounts of disk space and
user investment in learning they never fulfill their potential.
DbLite is designed for instant usability. Attractive user
interface, simple and intuitive keystrokes and logical command
structure make the program instantly usable. The program can be
used with no setup and can be operated with very minimal system
requirements. This allows for easy portability and multi-computer
use. This makes dbLite a winning application for any IBM PC
computer user and an attractive alternative to anyone interested
becoming better organized.
