Program Title: FORGE Version 2.01
PC-SIG version 2
 
FORGE is a Turbo Pascal and dBase III programmer's aid. it allows the
programmer to design data input forms or help screens, then generate Turbo
Pascal or dBase III source code for those forms. This source code can then
be compiled and used as is for data entry, or it can be included as a
procedure within a larger more comprehensive program. Since this is a
utility for Turbo Pascal and dBase III, a working knowledge of these
programming languages is assumed.
 
The concept of FORGE is somewhat analogous to word processing. with a word
processor you can write, review, change, insert, delete and otherwise
perfect your text before committing it to its final form. FORGE allows you
to do the same thing with a data input form or information screen. Some of
the outstanding features of FORGE are that you can: fill an area on the
screen with color, without affecting the characters that are already on the
screen, insert or delete lines from the screen, define areas on the form
for entering data, define data entry areas as "string", "integer", or
"real" data types, use IBM graphics characters to "draw" boxes etc., and
use blinking characters.
