Stonefield Releases Cross-Platform Stonefield Data Dictionary

Version 2.2x of the Active Data Dictionary for FoxPro Runs Under DOS and
Windows

Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada--December 14, 1993--Stonefield Systems Group
Inc. is now shipping a cross-platform version of its popular Stonefield
Data Dictionary. Version 2.2x runs under both DOS and Windows, and
provides a set of tools to assist developers in creating cross-platform
applications. It also includes a driver for the popular GENSCRNX screen
generator that uses the information stored in the data dictionary for the
size, PICTURE, VALID, WHEN, ERROR, MESSAGE, and RANGE clauses of fields.
This means that changes made to the data dictionary are automatically
applied to generated screen code without editing the screen files!

Stonefield Data Dictionary (formerly known as Fulcrum) is the first active
data dictionary for FoxPro to provide data-driven library routines. It is
a powerful tool for designing, managing, maintaining, and documenting the
data elements that make up FoxPro applications.

Stonefield Data Dictionary has received rave reviews since its release. In
the August 1993 issue of DBMS, well-known FoxPro expert Dr. Pete Olympia
said: "I started out testing other active data-dictionary products, but
the others I checked out have either an incomprehensible user manual, or a
befuddling and nonsensical user interface. You are reading only about
[Stonefield Data Dictionary] here because the competition is not quite
ready for prime time as yet".

Stonefield Data Dictionary is available in two versions: Version 2.2 (DOS
only) for $199.00, and Version 2.2x (Cross-Platform) for $249.00. It comes
with a 60 day unconditional money-back guarantee.

Product Summary
===============

Stonefield Data Dictionary

Stonefield Data Dictionary is a powerful tool for designing, managing,
maintaining, and documenting the data elements that make up FoxPro
applications.

The Active Data Dictionary for FoxPro

First-generation data dictionaries are passive--they record Dictionary for
FoxPro information about data elements and produce documentation, but
little else.

Stonefield Data Dictionary is active--it provides all of the features of a
passive data dictionary, plus a library of data-driven routines that use
the data dictionary to perform functions such as browse, sort, reindex,
open, and even update the structure of database files.

Automate Screen Updates

Stonefield Data Dictionary now includes a driver for the popular GENSCRNX
screen generator. It uses the information stored in the data dictionary
for the PICTURE, VALID, WHEN, ERROR, MESSAGE, and RANGE clauses of fields.
This means that changes made to the data dictionary are automatically
applied to generated screen code without editing the screen files!

Benefits

By using Stonefield Data Dictionary, FoxPro developers gain the following
benefits:

* Reduced development time: The data-driven routines included with
Stonefield Data Dictionary relieve developers from writing many of the
file maintenance routines that today's sophisticated end-users demand.

* Reduced maintenance effort: "Data-driven" means that the data dictionary
drives the application. Change the data dictionary, and many aspects of
the application automatically adjust without programming.

* Automatic documentation: Stonefield Data Dictionary can produce
high-quality documentation, completely describing database files, their
structures, indexes, and relationships with other files.

* Design help: Stonefield Data Dictionary automatically checks for design
flaws such as duplicate or cyclic relations, and multiple parents for the
same file.

Stonefield Data Dictionary comes with royalty-free source code. Developers
may include the data-driven library routines in their own applications at
no additional cost.
