JORF v2.1
Josephine's Recipe Filer is an innovative application
language. Easy to learn. Full featured. CUA Compliant
in DOS Text mode and native windows mode. Object Oriented,
Window Manager, International dates, supports DBF/DBT/NTX
files. Developer's Kit available. Josephine is a goat.
This package includes interpreters for DOS and MS-Windows,
editor, source level debugger, tutorial, context help,
full manual and sample programs. Language supports
arrays, pointers, variable length records, text elements
in records, multiple indexes, and network access to files.
This package is shareware. Registration is required if you
write new programs using the interpreter. You will want to
register anyway, because the 350 page manual is a pain to
print and is much nicer when you let JORF Company print
and bind it for you. Also - you want to help support
Wayland in his effort to develop an easier tool for
business application programming.
Requires MS-DOS 3.1 or above. Hard disk recommended.
