Database with GadTool look
.description
db is a small and fast database program that I wrote after having tested
numerous other PD database programs and always found something lacking or
irritating me. They might have dozzens of features not found in db, but
they lacked font sensitivity and a standard GUI look and OS 3.0 behaviour.
My main need was to keep record on addresses and telephone numbers of friends
and companies. Before this release db was fixed to be just an address and
telephone database, but this has changed now. The program is designed
to handle information of your choice. Currently you have to use a file
editor to specify the database fields and layout as there is no GUI for that.
Anyway that's a one time job, then you just USE the database and have fun.
Complete GUI support will probably only be included in a commercial product
I plan to call REG.
A partial list of db's features include:
o Dynamic memory handling. Number of records and fields only limited by
free memory.
o GadTool based, gives a standard look and feel.
o Mouse and keyboard driven.
o User definable fields and layout.
o Multiple views of the same database.
o Commodore's Clipboard for flexible interaction with other programs.
o AppWindow -just drag and drop database icons on db to load.
o Online MenuHelp -Press HELP key when selecting a menu item.
o Font sensitivity.
o ARexx
o ASL requesters for flexible loads and saves.
o Localized
o Dial numbers using a modem
o WB and Shell usage with Commodore's template parsing
o Fast and flexible find function using AmigaDOS patterns.
o Filter function.
o Fast and flexible sort function. Multiple sort orders can be specified.
o 'Export View' and two standard ASCII export features.
o Automatic ASCII import (tab-separated ASCII)
