INTRODUCES VERSION 2.0 OF ITS MODEMBASE PRO DATABASE DESIGN AND DISPLAY SOFTWARE New Version "Stands Alone" From Computer Bulletin Board Systems RIVERSIDE, Calif., August 26, 1993 -- Integrated Solutions, Inc., a commucnications software company based here, has introduced Version 2.0 of ModemBase Pro, a database design and display program newly enhanced to work with both computer bulletin board systems (BBS) and as a standalone on-line software product. Integrated Solutions announced Version 1.0 six months ago as a third-party application for BBSs and the new version remains compatiable with most popular BBS software programs. No BBS is required, however, to use the new version of the software. With ModemBase Pro, the user can now easily configure most PC-based computers to answer modem calls and log the caller directly into the database or menu of available databases. "The new version was driven by prospective customers," said Troy Getty, Chief Executive Officer of Integrated Solutions. "We were frequently asked for a product that would allow users to place on-line a product-and-services catalog or knowledge database without the additional log-in steps of a BBS package." ModemBase Pro allows system operators (sysops) to create custom- designed databases and then incorporate the database into their available on-line services. The new version features a Turbo Vision interface providing a simple, mouse-controlled Windows-like working environment. The sysop can completely customize any dBase III-compatiable database for on-line usage, whether derived from an existing database or created from scratch. Version 2.0 also supports the new Remote Imaging Protocol (RIP) graphical interface. RIP, from Telegraphics, Huntington Beach, Calif., is the emerging graphical standard for the BBS industry. RIP allows sysops to add colorful graphic elements, borders, buttons and animation to their screen displays. With Version 2.0 of ModemBase Pro, users can also customize American National Standards Institute (ANSI) color graphic display forms commonly used in the on-line BBS environment. ModemBase Pro Supports Digiz Protocol For Multi-Port Boards ModemBase Pro now provides support for Integrated Solutions' own Digiz protocol, designed for use with DigiCHANNEL intelligent serial cards from DigiBOARD USA, Eden Prairie, Minn., as well as most multiport cards, including standard serial. Installation of the multiport cards permits multiple call-in lines on one 386/486-based PC. Digiz is a complete external communications protocol replacement, supporting all DSZ-compatiable commands (DSZ is the command set for the BBS-industry standard Zmodem communications protocol.) Sold directly by Integrated Solutions and selected distributors, the Digiz protocol also includes a terminal mode for dial-out capabilities. Integrated Solutions also made ModemBase Pro easier for the sysop to use by consolidating the number of internal programs required to create a complete database management system. Version 1.0 comprised three programs, but version 2.0 features only 2 programs -- Modem Base MASTER and Modem Base Access. The former is used to configure a database and the latter is used to bring the database on line. Integrated Solutions, Inc. Integrated Solutions, Inc., based in Riverside, Calif., was founded in 1992 as a supplier of database development and management software.
