Short description of FoxIt
--------------------------

- straight use of Fox Power tools inside FoxIt
- compact snippet library is at background

- data driven from datadictionary
   * <Press one> FoxIt reads databases to datadictionary
   - referential integrity (change,delete /restriction, lookup)
   - field aliases up to 20 chars
   - disabled fields
   - default values for fields, functions are accepted, ex date()
   - required attribute
   - lookup table's and fields or [X] general lookup for all code fields
   - rangelo and rangehi definitions, functions are accepted, ex date()+7
   - smart pictures (!X generates !XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX... in screen)

- data driven from screen dictionary
  * <Press two> FoxIt generates basic system
  - master to detail table linking is managed
  - screens and browse clauses with datadict attributes are generated
     <   Add   > <  Save   > < Browse  > < Report  >

   - define possible parent screens
   - define linked parent fields
   - define description parent fields
