dBASE II

dBASE II by Ashton-Tate is a database management tool that allows easy manipulation of small and medium sized databases using English-like sentences. The user can create complete database systems, set up screen formats for simple data entry, change or display data, and generate reports using automatic calculation features, while still keeping the program data independent. It is interactive so that data entry is easy, and can be programmed so that even untrained personnel can run the most complicated applications. Full printing control allows data to be printed on existing forms. Commands include CREATE, SAVE, INSERT, CHANGE, PACK, SUM, SELECT, INPUT, FIND, DO, DO WHILE, COPY, INDEX, EDIT, REPLACE, RECALL, DELETE, DISPLAY, TOTAL, SORT, ACCEPT, GET, SKIP, READ, REPORT, and IF...ELSE. Specifications: 65,535 records per file, 1000 characters per record, 32 fields, 254 characters per field, numeric accuracy to 10 digits, string length 254 characters.\n\nOriginal retail price: $495 (Westico Professional CP/M Software Catalog for ADAM, 1984)
