       First there were only file managers.
\\


           Then came the slow, interactive programs like dBASE.

\\

               Then came the compiler-only products like
                  Clipper and the bunch.

                            AND -- AS A BONUS -- IT COSTS
                               LESS THAN ITS BETTER-KNOWN,
                                  LESS POWERFUL COMPETITORS!
\+
                 HOW FAST IS VP-Info Level 1?
                    ÍÍÍÍÍÍ
\\
 
 Most operations run faster than any version of dBASE.
\\

     
 Typical business applications run 4 TO 10 TIMES FASTER!
\\

 
 Compared to dBASE IV and its many overlay files, constantly
    being swapped in and out of memory, VP-Info Level 1 is "lean
    and mean" . . . easy to learn and a lot faster to program!
