FormBase 1.1 ă  Ventura Softwareă XA few months ago, Xerox renamed the division that produces their microcomputer software, spun it off into a separate company, and Voila! Ventura Software was born. ah  With the latest incarnation of FormBase, the "new" company ah  steps squarely into the middle of the fray in database software, and if Windows becomes the corporate standard ah  Microsoft would like it to be, FormBase should emerge head ah  and shoulders above the pack. This one, folks, is amazing. y!a nyjddPROFILEy U 1  1 N!A(0 /dd'( 3t> XA  Product Name  3 [ PA,  :=  FormBase $495 Ventura Software Inc. 15175 Innovation Drive San Diego, CA 94692 (619)6737537 CheckratedNXLet's start out with the stuff that could hold FormBase back. ah  Since it runs under Windows, there's a built in performance ah  disadvantage compared to character based databases. If you're using FoxBase (or dBase, for that matter), and are working ah  with data sets exceeding about five or six hundred records, get used to waiting around a little but only for certain types of $88x ! 7$actions. For example, im! 7porting a six field database ! 7with 960 records takes ! 7Ԛabout thirty seconds, versus ! 7ten seconds in FoxPro. In ah  ! 7!0 7spite of the threefold per! 7!0 7formance detriment, the ! 7!0 7difference here is not that ! 7!0 7important. Yet, do a sort ! 7!0 7on two fields of the data! 7!0 7bases, and you'll see a real ! 7!0 7difference. FoxPro does the ah  ! 7job in about four seconds, ! 7while FormBase takes over ah  ! 7three minutes. Add the fact ! 7that there is no onscreen ! 7measurement of the status  88of the ongoing sort while FormBase is working, and you've ah  got some uncomfortable moments in store. Remember, though, this deficiency is more attributable to the operating environment than the application. XThen there's marketing. Up to now, if you weren't sure whether FormBase was a database with forms capabilities or ah  the other way around, you haven't been alone. Ventura must define themselves better and get the word out if they want this one to fly. Fact is, FormBase is both, but frankly, if ah  you're looking for a forms package, there are many easier (to use and on your wallet) packages around. Some are Windows ah   Figure 1 !xxxx Figure 1 Aa\ 'xxra'CEddIYMCHECK4ȫ0,8 FormBase Đ$885& A 7$based, some not, but take our word A 7for it, there are plenty of choices. A 7XFinally, there's the way FormBase is ah  A 7used. Until now, most applications A 7that use a mouse, be they graphical A 7or text based, have pretty much relied A 7on only one button. Remember the A 7original "Cyclops" mouse that came A 7with MacIntosh computers? It would ah  A 7have done fine. FormBase departs ah  A 7from this behavior; if you adopt it,  .88you'll have to get used to using both buttons, and not just sporadically, either. This is truly mouse dependent (and reliant) software. Undaunted? Read on.E L01 74!0 7! a'7/AEԌxxxx Figure 1 A Figure 1 Aaaw l8 (ddFORMBASE.WPGX4 FormBase ćLNInstalling FormBase is a DOS based procedure that is ah  documented as extensively as any we've ever seen. Unfortunately, that's due as much to necessity as thoroughness. Try installing FormBase by typing "install" at the A:> prompt, and ah  although you'll get a working product in a few minutes, you're likely to wonder if you did things correctly. We made the mistake, and ended up trashing everything and starting over about twothirds of the way through the procedure. Read the documentation, though (Windows novices, there's even ah  plenty of help for you here), and besides an application occupying about 1 megabyte of disk space and comprised of $%% %%a%$! 7just three program files in a single directory, you'll have an ! 7intelligently organized directory structure containing about ! 7fifty sample files for use in various sales, administrative, ! 7accounting, and personnel situations, fonts from Bitstream, and no extraneous garbage. The installation program even cleans up after itself, removing the files it copied to your hard disk to aid in its own operation. Your AUTOEXEC.BAT and WIN.INI configuration files are altered after first being backed up, and FormBase inserts a reference to the SHARE. ah ԭEXE filelocking utility included with DOS, regardless of whether you're using FormBase on a network or a stand ah Ԫalone workstation. One warning: if you choose to install FormBase in any drive/directory other than the default ah  "C:\FORMBASE", certain aspects of the tutorial will not work correctly, and the documentation that explains that fact comes A 7over one hundred pages after the first occurrence of the A 7problem. A 7LNLearning FormBase is, in a word, easy. This is contributed ah  A 7to by the layout of FormBase's menus, putting, for example, ah  A 7print functions on a print menu instead of in the place on the A 7"file" menu that they are usually found. Follow the eight A 7lessons presented in the tutorial book, and you'll have a A 7working knowledge of every aspect of the program save A 7integrating graphics files in your databases. That area is A 7covered well in a chapter under twenty pages long found in A 7the exhaustively complete reference manual. Total time needed is about six hours; plan on taking a few breaks. Read the release notes found on disk (mostly common sense information such as "create subsets of databases to get faster
