We have finished testing Oko. It now becomes shareware. You can download an
evaluation copy and/or purchase a registered copy on-line: www.ploko.net.

Oko is a development tool for building Windows applications. It uses an
object-oriented programming language and has a rich set of visual tools that
make application creation a relatively easy and intuitive task. Its
integrated development environment allows you to create a wide range of
functional units that can benefit both from the power of the language and
the versatility of the GUI tools. An efficient code generator makes your
source code compact and clear and lets you skip many explicit
initializations. At the same time, code generation is configurable, so that
you can insert your own code at any level, as well as turn off the automatic
generation of any of the components.

Oko has a set of visual database tools that use ODBC to connect to data
sources. It can generate data forms and provides a set of flexible data
controls to facilitate the creation of database applications. For many
tasks, Oko can replace systems such as Microsoft Access generating database
applications with no programming involved. The advantage of Oko is that its
applications are very compact, fast, and, of course, stand-alone. It also
has a built-in report generator.

Oko produces either Win32 executables or dynamic link libraries (DLLs) from
which you can export functions to be deployed in any other program. It
creates stand-alone executables that need no other modules to run.
