| SIDEFILE.ZIP | Yes | 155947 | 12/18/1993 | Sidefile ($?) is a database program that lets you access data very quickly by keeping all of the records in memory, as opposed to other database programs that keep only one record at a time in memory and must read to or write from disk for each record. A disadvantage is that this approach limits the number of records you can save in one database to 999. The advantages are that screens full of data can be displayed and scrolled through rapidly, just like you would a spreadsheet program, which brings up a point: Since Sidefile looks an awfully lot like a spreadsheet program, with each column representing a field in the record, why not just use a spreadsheet program instead? You could, but Sidefile has been optimized for the manipulation of data lists, so you should find it much more efficient and easier to use for that purpose. For example, you can sort your data on a particular field just by moving the cursor to the column for that field and pressing a key. |

Virtually no documentation comes on the disk, but context-sensitive help screens are available throughout. A couple of interesting features of this program are the ability to combine specified types of data from up to 11 different files into one, and the ability to call up data using a 4th generation type of query language. |
| WYNDFLDS.ZIP | Yes | 215443 | 1/7/1994 | WyndFields (Wyndware; $70) is a general purpose database program which allows you to manage any type of structured data easily and efficiently. This is really a slick program with a rather unusual approach to data display, entry, and editing. Fields are displayed as column headings across the top of the screen with each record on a separate line down the screen. If the combined width of the fields is wider than the screen, the screen will scroll horizontally a column at a time in a circular manner. That is, when you scroll past the last field/column, the next column will be the first field again. Since the program supports the 43-line mode for EGA/VGA displays, you can see a lot of records at once, just as you would in looking at a big, paper columnar pad. We have long stated that we think this type of approach makes much more sense than only being able to see one record at a time. We have also stated that rather than having to go through a long series of menus to go from data entry to editing to searching, which programs such as nearly all other programs make you do, it would make more sense to do all of these things from the same screen. WyndFields doesn't let you edit on the Search screen, but its approach is almost as good. When you select Edit or Add, a data-entry screen pops right up - no long series of menu selections to struggle through. The program has pull-down menus and a full mouse interface. Mailing labels, detailed tabular reports, and form letters can be easily created and printed from within the program. Multiple indices with multiple key fields for each database are automatically maintained. Several powerful methods are available for searching and viewing specific data. Comprehensive context-sensitive and cross-referenced help screens are always available. Database design structures are easily changed without losing any data. Files can be imported and exported to several common formats, including mail merge files compatible with the most popular word processors. Extensive string and math functions are available for searches and for creating Calculated Fields. Wyndfield's date and time tracking abilities, from seconds to centuries, are without equal. Each database can have up to 70 different fields, each with up to 76 characters, up to a total of two billion records, and up to 10 different indices, each of which may have up to 10 key fields in either ascending or descending order. Requires DOS 3+ and 512k. By the way, Star Trek fans may want to get this disk just for one of the sample databases on the disk - a complete database of Star Trek shows, including the old shows, the movies, and the Next Generation shows. |
| ENTERPR.ZIP | Yes | 161161 | 12/18/1993 | Enterprize System (Seltec Computer Products; $30-$246) is a database program generator. It prompts you to describe your database application needs and generates programs in BASIC code which when run, are like custom-written programs for that application. |
| PBASE.ZIP | Yes | 87518 | 12/18/1993 | PBase (4B Associates; $?) is a programmable relational data base management system designed for programmers. Providing facilities for querying and manipulating data as well as report writing. |
| PD_BASE.ZIP | Yes | 508139 | 12/18/1993 | ProDev*Base (Pro Dev Software ASP; $40) is a multi-file automatic relational data base system or you can also have stand-alone random accessed files. PDS*BASE is a BASIC program generator. This means that you define your data fields in a way similar to a database program such as PC-FILE, but then PDS*BASE writes a BASIC program to display the screens, prompt you for data, save the data, etc. Thereafter, instead of running PDS*BASE for a particular application, you run the BASIC program. The advantage of a program generator is that the standalone program is generally more efficient to run than a general database program, it can be given (or sold) to others without having to give/sell the generator itself, and the program can be modified by any BASIC programmer. The disadvantage is the generated program requires a BASIC interpreter or compiler to run. Also included is a utility program that generates BASIC language programs for doing label printing and exporting and importing data. For those that are interested in learning BASIC, a 66-page BASIC Language Primer is included on the disk. |
| ULTRBASE.ZIP | Yes | 606192 | 12/19/1993 | Ultra:Base (Brandyware; $25-$50) is a general database program featuring a memo pad, phone list, and amortization program.

| VPI1.EXE | No | 211912 | 2/19/1992 | VP-Info Level 1 3.3 (Sub Rosa Publishing, Inc. ASP; $45-$95) is a full-featured compiled data base language. While some other database programs in the library will work on dBase data files, this also offers a database programming environment that works along the same lines as dBase. SR-Info is not 100% dBase compatible, however. In some ways, such as speed of execution, it is actually superior. Its main drawback is that it does not support memo fields. VP-Info is also a fully relational database program. It reads and writes data files compatible with VP-Info, dBase, Clipper and Foxbase. Its report generator handles up to six related data files, up to three levels of totalling, multi-line column headings, and more. For those not familiar with database programming languages: they are command driven rather than being menu driven like PC-File and File Express. This makes them a more complex, but more flexible and powerful. Despite the added complexity, we found VP-Info to be easy to learn after working through the tutorial. The program offers extensive on-line help and 450 pages of documentation on disk. |
| VPI2.EXE | No | 332866 | 2/19/1992 | See above. |
