KEYWORDS: BROWSE, PICKLIST, SHOP, POPUP

We developed a POPUP-LIST routine to serve our needs 
encountered when we started programming FPW-Applications.

Our former DOS-XBASE-System DBMAN by Versasoft supplied us 
with a very powerful BROWSE (SHOP)-Command. We missed such 
a Routine in any XBASE for Windows System (eg DBFAST, FPW).
On the market for programming tools we found little to fulfil
our needs.
Last week we started to program a routine based completely on
Foxpro functions. At the Moment we find it powerful and 
capable to meet all our needs.
We tested several points:
 - must work with large databases > 200.000 records
 - menu driven standard-functions append/edit/delete and so on
 - supports change index function via mouse-click
 - keep the network traffic as low as possible (locking)
 - incremental search 
 
Download SHOP.ZIP. Copy it in a separate directory and unpack it.
Change to that directory and then start SHOP.APP. Demo-Program 
uses Database DEMO.DBF

You may use your on testdatabase. Must contains two fields
named "Feld1" C5 and "Feld2" C40 for best results.

Program with full functionality will be available soon. We are 
currently working on the missing functions.
This is beta beta test version 0.5. 
At the moment its only little windowish.

Please contact us via CompuServe in case of any hints, tips 
or ideas concerning our "shop". 

We are always very interested in contact to professional Foxpro 
users anywhere.
