- Disk No 680 FORGE VERSION 2.0 v1.0 DS2
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- FORGE is a TURBO Pascal and dBASE III programmer's aid. It allows the
- programmer to design data input forms or help screens, then generate TURBO
- Pascal or dBASE III source code for those forms. This source code can then
- be compiled and used as is for data entry, or it can be included as a
- procedure within a larger more comprehensive program. Since this is a
- utility for TURBO Pascal and dBASE III, a working knowledge of these
- programming languages is assumed.
-
- The concept of FORGE is somewhat analogous to word processing. With a word
- processor you can write, review, change, insert, delete and otherwise
- perfect your text before committing it to its final form. FORGE allows you
- to do the same thing with a data input form or information screen. Some of
- the outstanding features of FORGE are that you can: fill an area on the
- screen with color, without affecting the characters that are already on the
- screen, insert or delete lines from the screen, define areas on the form
- for entering data, define data entry areas as "String", "Integer", or
- "Real" data types, use IBM graphics characters to "draw" boxes etc., and
- use blinking characters.
