ProtoView Releases Microsoft Windows Based Spreadsheet/Grid Control for
Visual C++ and Visual Basic.

Dayton, NJ -- May 31, 1994 -- ProtoView Development Co. announced today the
release of DataTable Version 2.5. This sophisticated Microsoft
Windows-based spreadsheet control offers advanced data formatting that is
easy to use with the Microsoft Visual C++ development system and the
Microsoft Visual Basic programming system. "The DataTable is a
sophisticated visual spreadsheet control that gives an application the
look and feel of a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet", said Dean Guida,
President of ProtoView Development.

According to ProtoView officials, The DataTable is unique in its ability to
interface with any and all databases through generalized message handling.
It can be used within the Microsoft Visual C++ development system and the
Visual Basic environment to create sophisticated data entry and display
screens. The DataTable supports several different memory management
schemes, including multiple 64K segment memory management and virtual
memory management. "The virtual memory manager allows developers to create
a DataTable from a large data set, without having to insert all the rows
at once. Instead, the DataTable will ask for more rows as needed when the
user scrolls down. You can literally fill the DataTable with billions of
rows of data", said Dean Guida.

The DataTable supports over 32 different data types, including Microsoft
SQL Server, Sybase Server and more. The C++ programmer has complete
control of the DataTable through a robust C++ class and numerous
notification codes. The Visual Basic programmer interacts with the
DataTable through property lists and as a bound control.

Some of The DataTable's new features include:

* Setting Fonts and Colors for row and column labels.
* Faster column sorting with up to 3 sort keys.
* The DataTable is a bound control for Visual Basic users.
* Cells may be check boxes, list boxes, or combo boxes.
* Support for database null values.
* Multi-line column and row labels.
* Automatic insertion of empty rows.
* Multi-line data entry in a cell.
* Enhanced methods and notifications.
* Enhanced keyboard support.
* Clipboard support.

Standard features of the DataTable include:

* Horizontal and vertical grid lines.
* Row and column selection.
* Column re-sizing.
* Three dimensional row and column styles.
* Cell formatting.
* Editing within individual cells.
* Column and row titles.
