Easy Base is the first true Rapid Application Development system to be available as shareware. With Easy Base you can create sophisticated menu driven applications in record time. Applications created in Easy Base can also be sold as stand alone programs by purchasing the Easy Base Runtime Module. There are versions for stand alone PC and for multi user network applications.

''Few things have impressed me like EB. I continue to be amazed by your simple, straight forward design. As manager of a department developing software systems for NASA, I have always stressed that quality user interfaces were critical. I regard your interfacing as one of the best and wish all software developers were closer to your way of thinking.''

JACK HUSTED

"We use Easy Base exclusively for all of our DOS based application development. EB and its runtime have been worth every penny we paid for them. EB provides us with a tool to deliver efficient, powerful, and easy- to-use applications to our customers in an incredibly short amount of time."

CARSON COOMAN, COOMAN SOFTWARE

Easy Base is the ultimate development in DOS data management. The interface is simple enough for a complete novice to get started in data programming yet the query language and function library provide all the power required by professional developers.

Easy Base Features List.

Form Design

• Define data files and default entry screens concurrently.

• Field types for :- Text, Text Block, Formatted text, Integer, Fixed Point, Floating Point, Date, Time and choice.

• The cursor can visit, skip or conditionally skip any field..

• An entry to any field can be optional, mandatory or conditionally mandatory.

• Control over first field cursor appears in and field order.

• Index any or all fields.

• Add or delete fields to files which already contain data and the files are re-formatted and re-indexed automatically.

Procedures

• Input screens can be copies of data entry screens or can be custom designed with any number of lookups from any number of data files.

• Basic like query language includes If-Then-Else, Do-Loop and For-Next. Commands to Add record, Modify record, Delete record and full function library (See Below).

• Support for AND, OR, OR Exclusive, Equivalence and Implication decisions.

• A Full set of external file commands ( Open, Seek, Read, Write, Find, Erase, Shell, Close ) allows interaction with any file on your system.

• Freeform layout for any number of named print sections in your output format.

• Subset indexing to select records in any group or order.

• Tabular "Picklist" form to select unrelated records for processing.

• Run one procedure from within another.

End User Menus

• Design end user menus simply by filling in a form with the text you wish to appear and the form, procedure or utility you wish to run.

• Menus can be Select item or Batch Execute

• Give any menu a start up password and end users can log on to your application with no knowlege of Easy Base.

Function Library

• The following functions can be used in the derivation of fields on data entry and procedure input screens as well as within the query language.

• Abs(), Chr$(), Datetext(), Dayofmonth(), Dayofweek(), Dayofyear(), Default(), Hours(), If(Condition,Truevalue,Falsevalue), Intext(), Jointext(), Lefttext(), Lengthtext(), Lookup(), Lower(), Makedate(), Maketime(), Log(), Log10(), Sqrt(), Sin(), Cos(), Tan(), Atan(), Deg-Rad(), Rad_Deg(), Exp() Midtext(), Minutes(), Mod(), Month(), Proper(), Random(), Retail(), Reverse(), Righttext(), Round(), RoundDown(), RoundUp(), Seconds(), Spacepad(), Spellday(), Spellmonth(), Stringof(), Timeampm(), Upper(), Year(), Zeropad()

• There are also predefined functions for VAT calculations on up to five VAT rates which can be changed globaly throughout an application.

System Values

• The following system values can be accessed anywhere in field derivations or the query language.

• Blank, Bottom Margin, Current Record, Cur_Field, File_Date, File_Time, File_len, File_pos, Fun_Key, Global Number, Output, Page Number, PI, Prog_Dir, Record Number, Sequence, System Date, System Time.

Utilities

• Backup

• Restore

• Pack

• Data Import

Miscelaneous

• You can provide your own help system which can be field specific. A spell checker is available in all text fields. Text can be cut and pasted between any field in any form.

• When creating Multi user Network applications, all protective locking ( Locking required to prevent access conflicts and index corruption ) are fully automatic. You only need to use the Lock and Unlock commands for strategic locking.

Run Time Modules

• Run time modules are versions of Easy Base which will "Run" your applications without allowing modification to data files, procedures or menus. Applications can be distributed royalty free with runtime modules.
