Expressware has dramatically enhanced product flexibility by rewriting
FILE EXPRESS in C and Assembler.  Basic relational capability has been
added to make it easier and more intuitive for the user to retrieve and
place information in other databases.

Over 100 new features have been added to FILE EXPRESS.  The
functionality of nearly every aspect of data management -- screen
definition, import/export, database size, reports, form letters, sorts
-- has been expanded.  Users can now edit records while in browse mode.

Recognizing that one of the primary uses of a database is for mailing
lists, FILE EXPRESS now has word processing capabilities.  Users can
write a letter from within the program and merge data from a database.

FILE EXPRESS features:

~ Increased capacity, handling 2 billion records per database, 200
fields per record, 1000 characters per field, 4000 characters per
record, and 100 databases per directory.

~ Context sensitive help screens to assist new or occasional users.

~ File locking for network use.

~ Mouse support.

~ Custom input screen design.

~ 36 definable macro keys.

~ Enhanced screen definition with features like color, automatic
addition of field names, calculated fields, word wrap, and easy drawing
of lines and boxes.

~ Search and replace or search and delete records; can automatically
search for duplicate records within a database file or between two
databases.

~ Formats can be changed at any time; users can add new or remove
existing fields, change field lengths or field organization.

~ Query and reporting facilities as well as a report writer that can
generate reports in columnar or multi-line format.

~ Enhanced Import/Export features that let users transfer data from
eight different formats, including dBase, Lotus, and WordPerfect files.

~ Mathematical calculation capability with 14 digit numerical accuracy;
up to three levels of subtotals are available on any or all fields in
the Report Generator.

~ Sorts up to 10 fields simultaneously.

~ Support for 280 printers.

~ All printing, including mailing labels, can be in regular or condensed
mode.
