-
- DETAILED PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
-
- Zephyr 4 is a fully relational, FoxPro 2 compatible data base management system
- for non-programmers. It can be loaded as a 20K TSR pop-up. Up to 25 data bases
- can be manipulated simultaneously with up to 255 indexes. Performance is up to
- 1000 times that of dBASE IV on complex retrievals from large data bases yet the
- software can be learned in only a few minutes.
-
- Using a Mac-like interface, sophisticated data base applications can be designed
- even by novices in minutes rather than months. Report, label, list, and form
- letter generators are included with the software. PCX graphics fields can be
- included in any standard FoxPro data base.

- base users.
