MUIbase V1.1
------------

MUIbase is a relational programmable database that uses MUI as
user interface.

MUIbase is not public domain or free software.  If you use MUIbase
then you have to register your copy after a short while.  You are
allowed to install and run MUIbase without registration for a period
of 4 weeks.  After that time you have to register your copy of MUIbase
or delete it from your system.  Reinstalling MUIbase does not extend
the license.

After registration you receive your personal MUIbase key-file which
enables all crippled features of MUIbase.

For more information about registering MUIbase, see the documentation
in the Docs directory.  The documentation is available in three formats:
AmigaGuide, dvi, and html.


Features
========

MUIbase is a fast and very flexible database for the Amiga.  It is
for users who want to manage data in a comfortable and easy way.
MUIbase is able to manage any kind of data, e.g. addresses, CD series,
movies, or your income and expense.  The power of MUIbase lies in its
clear and powerful graphical user interface and its programming
capabilities.  The latter makes it possible to automatically calculate
and maintain nearly everything, starting from automatically summing
up values, e.g. for calculating the total amount of income or the
total amount of recorded time of a CD, up to automatically creating
and printing letters for any purpose.

MUIbase is the successor of AmigaBase, a hierarchical programmable
database which is still available but considered obsolete with the
appearance of MUIbase.  All registered users of AmigaBase can get a
free upgrade to MUIbase by sending their AmigaBase registration number
and return address to me (Email preferred).

MUIbase offers the following features:

* Handling of multiple projects at the same time.

* Attributes can be of type string, memo (multi line text), integer,
  real, date, time, bool, choice (one item out of many items), reference
  (easy way to reference a record of another table), button (for
  starting MUIbase programs), and virtual (compute value on the fly).

* The string type can also manage lists of strings, files, and fonts.
  An OS 3.x datatype gadget allows displaying external images.

* Unlimited number of records.

* Dynamic loading of records.  Records which are not needed may be
  flushed from memory (e.g. when memory is low).

* Programmability.  With the easy and powerful MUIbase programming
  language complex tasks can be implemented.  The language also
  includes a SELECT-FROM-WHERE query for easy and fast data retrieval.

* Ordering of records by any combinations of attributes.

* Flexible and powerful search and filter facility.

* Query editor which allows entering and managing of SELECT-FROM-WHERE
  queries.  The queries can be saved and the results can be printed.

* Import and export facility.

* Uses MUI as user interface.  The interface is highly customizable.
  External images can be included in the user interface.

* Portability.  MUIbase development has been done under the idea of
  easy portability.  The system/gui part has been separated from the
  ANSI/C part such that porting MUIbase will result in only porting
  the system/gui part.  This is no promise that MUIbase will ever get
  ported to another system, only the porting task has been made easier
  but may still be complicated depending on the target system/gui.

The unregistered version of MUIbase is crippled in several ways.
See the MUIbase documentation for a list of limitations in the
unregistered version.

New in V1.1
===========

o Improved import of records, now allows for double quotes in strings.

o Improved display of record contents: only the fields in windows
  that are currently open are computed and displayed.

o Double clicking in query result listviews (query editor and
  virtual attributes) now shows the selected record in the
  corresponding table mask.

o New editing fields for AskMulti: "choicelist" and "options",
  and bubble help support.

o Font selection for all gui elements.

o Support of an include directory.

o Better debugging for external include files: line and column
  information of where the error occured in the include file is
  now displayed.

o Option to compile without debug information for obtaining
  better run-time, and menu item "Program - Compile" for
  compiling program without opening program editor first.

o Help nodes for all menu items.

o Some bug fixes.
