Essentials of MiniBase
---------------------------

MiniBase is a general purpose database application for the home PC.  Any number of tables can be designed, each including up to 20 fields and 10 indexes and containing an unlimited number of records. The core database functions such as sorting, filtering, searching are included. Data can be imported and exported and a simple reporter is included. MiniBase does not support multiple users. The aim of MiniBase is to provide a portable but functional database for the home PC.

This is a fully functional pre-release version and is free.

MiniBase does not support multi-user access to its tables and is NOT a heavyweight database intended for corporate use. MiniBase has its own database engine.


-------------------------------------------------
  Installing MiniBase
-------------------------------------------------

MiniBase comes with its own installation program. Simply unzip the mbase.zip file and run setup.exe. 

To uninstall MiniBase, use the Control Panel and Install/Remove programs. If you have created your own tables within the default directory, not these may not be deleted by the uninstall program.
