- 4 GL Software Development tool
-
-
- What is OASIS ?
-
- 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

- 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.

- OASIS Evaluation (This package)
-
-
- Description
-
- This package is the evaluation version of OASIS. It offers almost
- all OASIS features and formats (screens) created with the
- evaluation version are entirely compatible with full blown
- version of OASIS. The limitation of this version resides in the
- number of formats (screens) you can handle in any single file,
- the limit is set to 20 for OASIS Evaluation. This mean you can
- still create an application that requires up to 20 screens, for
- more complexe applications with more screens you need the full
- version of OASIS.
