Msg 42513 is 07 line(s) on 09/23/89 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to ERIC BOHLMAN re: R/CBBS SOFTWARE The REAL answer is to get our 9600 baud modems back! Actually, I'm of the opinion that if the noise shows up enough times to cause the disconnect message (intended to thwart "twits" who I have seen call a system with no intent of answering ANY questions as asked ;-), then the connection is best broken for the sake of a "retry" for a better line. I AM sorry the modem is so bad - but the 9600's that went back for ROM upgrades got lost at UPS for - what - months!w3 Msg 42514 is 27 line(s) on 09/23/89 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to ALL re: PC DATABASE - HIERARCHICAL At work, (a sales office) we have more and more people who want their own databases - customer mailing lists so they can tell them of upcoming classes, etc. But this year, things have gotten more complicated - there are now "student reps" - i.e. like many applications, you want a "header" or "main" record, then want a variable number of records "under" it. Thus, we'd have a "school" main record, and a variable number of "student rep" records under it. I am a Foxbase user, and recommended its use at work about 2 years ago, and we use it a lot for simple mailing lists, etc. Part of our problem is the lack of a programmer - we need something that users themselves can use - and while Fox meets that bill (once I set up the database and the input screen), we need to do more programming to handle "hierarchical" applications. One guy suggested Data Ease, but its cost is too high! With Fox, we use the unlimited run time license, and that works out well. In other words, what EVER we choose - a run-time license will be necessary since we don't have thousands of $ to put into this project. (to put it in business perspective, every $1K spent on software is, say, another person going to a school in Atlanta that we can't do). Thanks for any ideas. One very favorable comment I got was "Clarion". It is fine that it can produce EXE files, and that solves the run-time, but again, we'd like something that the users can use to create their OWN applications. OH- how about having a "central" machine with the development license, then people can create the applications, compile them, and take the run-time to their own machines? Hmmm.

Msg 42516 is 07 line(s) on 09/23/89 from BILL WOLFF to RICHARD HINTON re: R/A GRAPHICS PROGRAM?? I just uploaded it to "The Round Table" @ 777-9480. So it won't be up on the board for a day or so. But you should log-on today to get valadated anyway! It is called "EXPGRAPH.ARC". Also you might want a program called "AEA301B.ARC" which is really called AS-EASY-AS (Lotus clone). It has some bars and pie charts. But Express Graph is much better minus the spreadsheet. Msg 42517 is 11 line(s) on 09/24/89 from BILL WOLFF to ALL USERS re: PRODIGY NUMBERS. I just signed up for Prodigy, so I haven't gotten anything on it yet. But hopefully there is a local phone number besides 499-0048. As this is out of my local calling area. This number is within my area although. I mean CCBS number is within. Anyway, Prodigy still sounds like PC-LINK (Q-LINK) with no extra cost areas. EMAIL sounds hard to do and no uploading. PC-LINK is the same. Prodigy has menu's without expert commands, so does PC-LINK. I know it is still different than PC-LINK, but the cost and features are really close. PC-LINK doesn't have many commercials, so to speak. Well sounds like I'll have it about two weeks, so time will tell.

Msg 42519 is 08 line(s) on 09/25/89 from ERIC BOHLMAN to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/PC DATABASE - HIERARCHICAL What you need to do can be done with the relational capabilities of Fox or other DBASE clones. You just create two .DBF's: The first contains the "master" info (let's say "product line") and the second contains the "detail" info (in this case, rep name and product line code). Using SET RELATION TO, you can create an application that will go through the detail file and automatically track a pointer through the master. With a little more work, you can do it the other way around (go through the master and pick up all the corresponding details).
