Here's a great package that everyone can use. PDQPlus gives you Hypertext and Hyperlink type access to TEXT and GRAPHICS reference and help files. A small resident program (39K RAM) retrieves both text and graphic information from discbased reference files. Reference files can be as large as available disk space. For program developers PDQPlus includes a runtime module. PDQPRun simplifies writing help for your application since it allows it to be written independent of the application. There is also an interface module (DBPDQ) for FoxBase and Ashton Tate's dBASE which allows you to issue commands to PDQPRun that will retrieve and display help text. Other modules are also available, up request, for "C", FORTRAN, BASIC, and PASCAL. PDQPlus is NOT JUST FOR PROGRAMMERS! PDQPlus is for anyone who needs on-line help and instant access to reference information eve from within running applications. PDQFAR (PDQ Federal Acquisition Regulation(FAR)) is the first in a series of Hypertext - type Government Regulations designed to answer this growing need giving you INSTANT access to the FAR. PDQFAR will REVOLUTIONIZE how Washington, D.C. does business!!! You can obtain instant help -- just pop-up PDQFAR and either: - select from a menu of keywords; - pick a keyword (FAR paragraph number) right off screen, from within your application (e.g. on-line CBD); - search the FAR for occurrences of a word or phrase; - select a topic from one of the various indexes PDQFAR - allows you to paste clauses from the FAR directly into your favorite word processor or running application - can cross-reference information contained in the FAR - can zoom text images to full screen - allows you to add notes to your FAR help file - keeps the last 10 help screens ready for quick reviewing - operates on an IBM compatible system Just think of the possibilities for this package. You can create on on-line manual for any of your programs. PDQFAR also contains a definitions index, contract index, and address index which allows you to quickly access the information you need most.
