- VP-Info Level 1 Release 3.30
-
- WELCOME to VP-Info Level 1!
-
- VP-Info Level 1 is a full featured compiled data base language. It is
- fully relational, very fast, and provides a rich command set to perform
- complex tasks with very few lines of code.
-
- To get going, print the fast start file FASTART.DOC and follow the
- instructions.
-
- The full VP-Info Level 1 shareware disk set contains the following:
-
- PROGRAM DISK
-
- READ.ME - this file.
-
- FASTART.DOC - We recommend that you print out this file and use it as
- a guide to getting started.
-
- VPI1.EXE and VPI1.MSG -
- The files required to run VP-Info Level 1
-
- VPI1.HLP -
- The on-line help system.
-
- VPI1.CNF -
- A configuration file. The supplied file takes first time
- users to a menu that drives a self-running demo as well as
- the SAMPLES program that drives the presentation of the
- collection of sample programs. After the first entry, the
- user is taken directly to the SAMPLES menus. When you feel
- ready, modify the file do do your own initialization, or
- erase the file.
-
- ORDER.DOC - our order form.
-
- NEWSLETR.DOC - information about our newsletter-on-a-disk.
-
- VENDOR.DOC - a message to shareware distributors.
-
- ASPOMBD.DOC - information about the ASP ombudsman.
-
- CHARITY.ZIP - a self-contained VP-Info application. This should be
- unzipped into its own subdirectory and reviewed when you feel
- ready to study a full VP-Info application.
-
- In addition, there are a large number of files associated with the
- self-running demonstration and the SAMPLES collection of programs.
-
- You may want to place the files VPI1.EXE, VPI1.MSG, and VPI1.HLP in
- a subdirectory that is on you DOS PATH. You can then run VP-Info from
- anywhere on your computer.
-
- MANUAL DISK
-
- The manual is subdivided into four parts for ease of printing.
- If your editor and viewing software can deal with the size, you may want
- to combine the parts into one large file on your disk.
-
- The file uses box characters to achieve a better look. If your printer
- cannot print box characters, a fresh copy using printable characters
- may be generated using the program PRTMANL.PRG included on the manual
- disk. This VP-Info Level 1 program is an interesting example to add to
- the collection. Reading the fast start document will give you sufficient
- information to run VP-Info Level 1 programs.
-
- The manual disk also contains:
-
- CHARITY.ZIP - a self-contained VP-Info application. This should be
- unzipped into its own subdirectory and reviewed when you feel
- ready to study a full VP-Info application.
-

- is offered or implied. It is offered as SHAREWARE on a try before you
- buy basis. It is not free.

- Sub Rosa sign on messages.
