DESCRIPTION

Fiasco is an easy to use and powerful database program. Many different types of databases can be created with Fiasco. The structure of a database is defined with the mouse in a style guide compliant mask editor. While designing the mask you can choose from a wide range of field types, including listview fields and datatypes fields. To add complex functionality, Fiasco features an ARexx port and a formula system for calculated fields. The record access system is dynamic, thus you can use databases that are larger than your available RAM.

Additional features include an import/export function, a print function and a powerful search function.

NEW FEATURES

- Support of formulae for calculated fields
- Improved search function that can search by several fields and by formulae.
- Revised ARexx port.
- Var String fields may be displayed in the list window.
- Float, date and time fields use locale.library for formatting.
