Program Description:
 
 
Newsbase is a convenient and powerful database application designed to help
one keep track of the contents of each issue of a periodical.  It can be
useful to publishers of journals, magazines, news and newsletters, as well as
television and radio broadcasters.  Various menus and a help screen make this
prigram very easy to use.  Newsbase makes it easy to find a story, editorial,
or artwork that is related to a particular subject.  For advertisers, Newsbase
can give an overview of all the ads placed by a certain customer in the
periodical over the last few months.  This program allows the user to give a
description, headline, synopsis, and key words or phrases for the article that
is to be stored in a file on a data disk.  The starting column, page number,
volume and number of the periodical, and the issue date can also be recorded
with the short description.  Afterwards, the search function will look for a
particular word or phrase that is entered or list all the articles within a
certain time frame in order to find the particular article that is being
looked for.  Afterwards the serach function allows the user to make a hardcopy
of the information to the printer or to an ASCII file.  Newsbase can work with
either a color or monochrome moniter, and can work with a fixed disk as well
as one or two floppy disk drives.
