This is a 4GL productivity tool for application programmers. It runs on PC's under MS-DOS. It allows you to build all kinds of interactive application programs featuring sophisticated human interfaces with a minimum of procedural language programming. OASIS consists of two parts SFD (Screen Format Designer) SCL (Screen Control Language). SFD is a state-of-the-art menu driven program. It is written with OASIS and suitable not only for programmers but also for end users. This allows you to design and even test screen front ends (forms, menus, input validation parameters, messages, online documentation etc.) in an interactive manner. ' What you paint is what you get ' SCL is a 4GL type tool to Borland's Turbo Pascal 4.0 (also portable to other languages using '.TPU' files) which mainly consists of constructs to utilize the screen formats designed by SFD. It also provides many other functions such as: Data communications Background processing Date/time manipulation Access to system functions Execution of DOS commands and other programs. What does OASIS buy for you ? It saves you money as it allows you the freedom to build professional programs with outstanding features in a fraction of the time it takes using conventional programming techniques. Design misconceptions and errors are detected early in the build cycle as the complete user interface of a program can be developed, tested and dynamically modified before even a single line of code has been written. With the outstanding user friendliness of OASIS, users can develop their own screen interfaces. This not only allows programmers to concentrate on the actual program logic but also guarantees that the user objectives are fully met. Programs can be easily customized and nationalized with no recompilation. The complete user interface specifications are stored in the form of data, not in the program code. Unlike other 4 GL environments OASIS does not confine programmers to its own constructs since as well as all the capabilities of SCL, you still have the complete power of Turbo Pascal at your fingertips. What can you build with OASIS ? Virtually any application program. With its powerful Data Communications and background task capabilities you can also use it to add intelligent front ends to your existing mainframe programs. You need NO special runtime software to run OASIS applications. Why should you use OASIS ? * Program sources are more compact, easier to understand and compile faster. * Later program changes are easier and often possible without recompiling * Dramatically reduced program development time and cost * Users can be involved in program design * Early testing and prototyping * Resulting application programs are highly ergonomic and offer many user-friendly features like: - Automatic display of assisting messages for each input field - Extensive Online Context Related help with four different user selectable levels - Automatic Input error handling and display of error messages - Adaptability to different system/keyboard layouts - Easy to customize / nationalize - Support of both Color & Monochrome displays - Undo function available - Abort function available - Mouse support possible and easy Main Features of SFD * Easy to understand, menu driven program with overlaying windows * Context sensitive online help facility * Full screen editor for Screen Layout Design * Full character set accessibility * Box drawing function & auto line interconnections * Powerful block Copy & Delete functions * Free selection of display attributes * Diversity of field types * Input validation selectable for any field * Up to 50 fields per format * Formats in any size or shape up to 80x25 * Inter File format copy facility * Display or Print format lists * Complete and dynamic inbuilt test facility * Alteration of format specs. & attribute possible during test mode with immediate visible effect Main Features of SCL. * Complete event driven control of format display and input including menus, pop up windows, help messages etc * Supports multiple stacking of windows and formats * Automatic input validity checks * Automatic display of error messages * No need to declare field variables etc in user program * Special input checks or other interferences possible anytime * Monitoring & flagging of user selectable keys or other events possible * No need to recompile when changing Formats, Messages or Input checks parameters * programs become concise and easy to understand * Supports background processing tasks (datacom, print) * Access to DOS functions including execution of commands and other programs. * Data communications support 旼컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � � � DISTRIBUTION OF OASIS EVALUATION � � � 쳐컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � OASIS Evaluation comes in arc'd form on two disks or � � down loaded on 3 files. � � � 쳐컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � DISK I � � Size � � OASDOC41.ARC 248 pages manual ready for print 189KB � � � � OASPRO41.ARC 144KB � � Screen Contol Language � � Screen File Designer � � PollSelect � � � 쳐컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� � DISK II � � Size � � OASSAM41.ARC 7 Sample Programs 223KB � � #1 OASIS Easy Field � � #2 OASIS Print Labels � � #3 OASIS Format Stack � � #4 OASIS Automatic Disk Menu � � #5 OASIS SCL demo � � #7 OASIS Simple Line Monitor � � #8 OASIS Terminal Emulator � � � � The code for each demo is thoroughly discussed and � � documented in the Reference Manual OASDOC41.ARC � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� TO USE OASIS 4.1 * UnArc the '*.ARC' files. * Check your 'CONFIG.SYS' file for: FILES=16 BUFFERS=32 * Print the documentation (Print ready format) * Run the '*.EXE' & '*.COM' files.

SLO OQP USA United Kingdom OASIS is a copyrighted product provided to you under a shareware scheme. OASIS IS NOT PUBLIC DOMAIN. Under this shareware scheme you are allowed and encouraged to copy and distribute the evaluation version of OASIS to your friends, colleagues and wherever you like as long as the following conditions are met: 1. You must distribute it unmodified and complete with all its files. 2. You are not allowed to distribute it commercially for profit. You may only charge for the media and handling. You are also hereby granted a limited Licence to test and evaluate OASIS. Please note that the above does not apply to the commercial version of OASIS for which only a personal licence is granted to registered users according to the terms and conditions as outlined in Appendix B of the manual. (see excerpt on next 8 pages) EXCERPT FROM OASIS EVALUATION REFERENCE MANUAL APPENDIX B The Shareware Idea Shareware (sometimes called User supported Software or freeware) attempts to provide useful programs to the PC community at low cost by reducing the dependence on conventional marketing channels. Several software developers have proven that the concept works, to the mutual benefit of the independent program authors and the PC community itself. The user benefits by the availability of low cost software which he can evaluate on his own system before making the decision to purchase it. The author benefits by being able to enter the software market without extensive monetary risks. The user community determines which products succeed based on their true utility, rather than on their marketing achievements.
