-
- INTRODUCTION DOCUMENT
- =====================
-
- Hello and a HUGE welcome to a brand new database program, Huge Base.
-
- This program will amaze you when you use it. It is packed with error
- messages and statements for every action so that you can find out what
- you are doing wrong or what you need to do quickly and easily.
-
- This program is shareware, but it is the full version and it is not
- crippled in any way.
-
- Please see the READ ME! document for miscellaneous information and
- details on how to register to the latest version.
-
- Also read the INSTRUCTIONS document for how to use Huge Base. It is
- very easy to use when you've used it for a while.
-
- Don't load Huge Base thinking you know how to use everything without
- reading the documents first. Huge Base uses a neat way of searching
- and, unless you know what you're doing, there could be some confusion!
-
- See further below for a small summary of Huge Base.
-
- Enjoy!

-
- WHY USE HUGE BASE?
- ==================
-
- I will now provide a summary of what Huge Base can do and why I feel
- it is better than other database programs.
-
- PROGRAMMING - It's written in AMOS. So what? This program just shows
- what AMOS can do. There are at least 110,000 users of AMOS
- Professional (and that's not including AMOS). Whoever said that AMOS
- is on a losing streak is VERY VERY wrong. AMOS is still the best
- programming language around and, until another programming language as
- powerful as AMOS is released, it's here to stay people!
-
- SEARCHING - Powerful searching functions allow you to search quickly
- and easily under ANY criteria whatsoever. Unique individual record
- selection makes this searching technique an brilliant one.
-
- MESSAGES - Hundreds of messages tell you exactly what you are doing,
- when you are doing it. The only thing it doesn't tell you is, how to
- will the lottery.
-
- GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE - The great GUI system makes a great modern
- environment away from all of those nasty Workbench windows and
- buttons.
-
- POP UP MENUS - GUI pop up menus allow you to make a selection easy
- and quickly. If you want the "POP UP" to go away, you simply click
- somewhere else on the screen.
-
- STORAGE - Huge Base uses a minimal amount of memory to store your
- data. Unlike most databases, the output file depends on the amount of
- data you have in your database. The more you have, the bigger the file
- will be. Some database programs save the whole field even when it
- could be completely empty.
-
- SOUND - Not very exciting, but it's there! Sound at your fingertips,
- and a range of soundset moods to choose from.
-
- LAYOUT - With all of the function buttons located at the bottom of the
- screen, they are always accessible and respond immediately to your
- actions.
-
- FIELDS - The functions for defining fields, changing fields etc. are
- excellent. Move, modify, delete, clear and more ... easily and at a
- very speedy pace.
-
- RECORDS - Various functions relating to records make data entry almost
- effortless. With a limit of 60,000 (yes, sixty thousand) records, I
- don't think anyone will complain about it.
-
- SHAREWARE - To finish on a good note. This program is shareware. You
- are getting a VERY good deal - a great database program for nowt. I
- like people using my programs for free. Enjoy, and share!
