                                By R.L. Coppedge, CDP

               The  Applications  Generator  System  (AGS) is a system that
          will  take  a  Dbase  III+  database,  and  with  some additional
          guidance  (not  programming,  guidance)  from  you  will become a
          fully-operational (and  Menu-Driven)  Database  Management Entry,
          Retrieval and  Reporting System.  All code (with the exception of
          two memory-resident modules used) is in Dbase III+,  and is fully
          compatible  with  any  Dbase  lookalike (I assume...it works fine
          w/Foxbase +)  NOTE:  For  FoxBase  Users,  make  sure  you  get a
          version specifically for FoxBase (ie AGS V2.10F)

               In   spite   of   Dbase's   many  additional  functions,  an
          overwhelming need for DBMS's lies not in the functions, but  in a
          smooth way to take ones ideas and requirements and move them from
          thought to paper to  keyboard  to  database.    This  system will
          hopefully help.

          Documentation includes:

          +    50 pages of instructions on using a completed Application.

          +    20+ pages of instruction on how to generate an AGS system.

          +    2 Page "Cheat Sheet"

               Keep in  mind that  with the  system properly installed, the
          AGS can generate for  you  a  complete  database management/entry
          system, with the following features:

               1>   Entry screens in English
               2>   COMPLETELY Menu-Driven System
               2>   Sorted data
               3>   Browse capabilities
               4>   Data Verification
               5>   Help Screens
               6>   Word Processing Interface (Word Perfect, Wordstar 2000,
                    Display Write IV and more)
               7>   Free-Form Query
               8>   Controlled Data Entry
               9>   Open Report Menu
               10>  Open Communications Menu
               11>  NO Dbase III+ commands needed
               12>  More, I'm sure

          ...all in  about 15  minutes (once you're familiar with how to do
          it).  Plus, if you maintain a number of systems  (like I  do), it
          makes maintaining , training and documenting them much easier.

               The bottom  line is,  Does this  work for  you?   You be the
          judge.  I guarantee that it you toy with it and play  around, you
          might be pleasantly surprised....give it a shot!

               Requires: Dbase  III+  (or  compatible, like Foxbase+), hard
          disk, 640 KB (might work with 512Kb...)  some knowledge  of Dbase
          III+ (creating,  editing, modifying a database), and DOS (Setting
          up and using subdirectories and the like.

               The AGS  has already  been used  in several  places, and for
          many functions.  They include:

          Inventory                               Order Entry Management
          Personnel                               Housing Title Transfers
          Housing Financial Analysis              Mailing List Maintenance
          Travel Agent Customer Maintenance       Union skills tracking
          Computer Maintenance                    Simple A/R
          Remote Data Entry                       Account Tracking
                                    Get the idea?

               As you  can hopefully  see, there  really is no limit to the
          type of application here.  The version you have here  has a limit
          of 50 records for each database placed on it.  By registering you
          version, you would be given an  unlimited use  version.   In some
          cases,  however,  there  are  some  changes  which would make the
          system run even smoother.  But  in order  to make  those changes,
          you have  to have a special registered system, which is delivered
          with full Dbase  code  intact!    (Shareware  distributed version
          contains executable only...)

               But how  do I  register?   (I hear  you cry)   Simple.  Send
          money (to support the Shareware concept) to:

               RL Coppedge, CDP                   CIS #:    72117,165
               446 Richmond Pk E 402A             Genie:    R.COPPEDGE1
               Richmond Hts, Ohio       Cleve Free-Net:     AE069
               44143

          How much should you send?  I leave  that up  to a  debate between
          you, your wallet and your conscience.  (C'mon, Conscience!!)

          A general suggestion:

                         single users:       Companies, Consultants, etc.
          Executable:         $50                      $100
          W/Code:             $100                     $250

               Code  version  also  includes  some  technical documentation
          explaining what it is you see.   Obviously,  the more  support of
          this type, the more likely it is that I would continue to improve
          this system along the shareware school of thought.   There  are a
          lot of improvements currently in the test Version 2.2...

               See the  file AGS210.TXT  for information on the differences
          between V2.04 and V2.10.

          Later!!!                 Bob
