ORIEL DATA BROWSER v1.0 
The PC Database View and Edit Program for Windows.
==================================================

An invaluable program for personal or business use that allows quick 
access to multiple databases. An easy alternative to expensive and 
time consuming database development software, when all required is 
to view and edit data.

The database formats that can be used include Access, Btrieve, 
dBase, FoxPro, & Paradox. From these databases many tables or 
queries can easily be viewed at once as data lists. These data list can 
be used for data entry, viewing data structure or previewing reports.

The data lists can be sorted by field name and refreshed. Data editing 
is enhanced with features such as Cut, Copy, Paste, Find and Replace. 
Records can be updated, added and deleted. Navigation through 
records is done one at a time, by pages, moving to the end, or to the 
bookmark. For queries, an extra feature exists that allows the editing of 
SQL statements.

Reports can be produced for printing with facilities such as setting 
margins, changing column widths, headers, footers, fonts and page 
orientation and size. The report can be previewed full scale or 25% of 
the size.
