From: M. Hakkinen : Exxon Office Systems, Princeton, NJ Does anyone out there know about the availability of screen design packages for the PC? Our need is for a package that would let us explore various screen formats for form filling tasks, menus, etc. The package should support color and other screen attributes. Ideally it should be capable of providing input checking. The package would not have to interface with an actual application, though if it were possible to attach to one, I wouldn't mind. Some time ago, probably in PC Magazine, I saw an ad for a graphics editing system for the PC which utilized both the graphics display and the monochrome display/adapter (ie., the mono display presented either a menu, form, or command entry line to control the display of objects on the graphics screen). Does anyone know of this package and/or have any experience with it? Thanks. Markku Hakkinen/Ergonomics Dept.

#R:eosp1:-17800:whuxlb:6400010:000:400 whuxlb!jph Aug 23 23:00:00 1983 There is a very nice package put out by Micro Data Base Systems call KnowledgeMan. It is a data base manager similar to dBase II with some very nice screnn management functions. It has some basic validity functions builtin (character, digit) and has a language which will allow more extensive checking. It will handle the creation of forms using all the attributes of the color and/or mono displays.
