FastFile v5.30 contains many enhancements over v5.2 such as:

As the developer and holder of the copyright to FASTFILE, I would
like ASP vendors to distribute the system. PLEASE replace the
description in your current printed catalog with:
DESCRIPTION FOR VENDOR PRINTED CATALOG

teacher, & business use. Has eye-blink speed & files are always
compressed. Great for laptop's! Many features reduce data entry
effort. Comes with Billing, CheckBook/G L, Invoice, Client List

FASTFILE is easy to learn because the same screen is used to enter,
edit, and search for data. Features such as record duplication,
field blanking (with key strokes other than [Left/right arrow]),
and edit access to the previous records are real time savers.
