PDS Hierarchical Data Base (v4.02) REGISTRATION ($50.00) By PRO DEV Software This package was distributed as PDSDB40A.SDN (Programs and Required Files) and PDSDB40B.SDN (Documentation). PDS*BASE Data Base system (2 disks). This is a multi-file data base system for those that want nothing hidden. The system allows you to define your single or multi-file random access data base and the system then generates BASIC language programs to operate your data base. The program definer/generator has pull-down menus, pop-up F1 Help Screens, full on-screen editing and much more. The system will generate a variety of report programs that can automatically pull together data from one or many data base files as required. Since the system gives you customized BASIC language programs, you can modify those programs to add additional features as desired. The documentation disk includes a complete 144 page instruction manual and a 66 page on-disk "BASIC Primer" book for those that always wanted to learn BASIC, but couldn't find an easy-to-read manual. Although designed with the BASIC programmer in mind, this system can also easily be used by non-programmers. The step-by-step examples show you how to create, run and report on your custom data base files without even looking at the BASIC language programs. Included is a flexible menu program for automatically running the BASIC programs. The system requires DOS 2.0 or higher with either BASICA or GWBASIC.
