Disk 1 of 2.  These disks contain WAMPUM, a dBASE III look-a-
like which operates WITHOUT command (.PRG) files. It allows
the user to utilize a relational database without first
learning to write programs and at a very low cost (the author
requests $25 if you find it useful). Complete documentation
and two sample applications are on FOG-DOS.072.

WAMPUM provides much of the functionality of dBASE III
through a menu-driven format. Features include:
 * Creation and use of dBASE III-compatible data files.
 * Complete multi-user network support using any dBASE file.
 * Character, numeric, date, logical, and memo field types.
 * Creation & use of up to seven B-Tree indexes per data file
 * Add, edit, delete, and undelete records in any .DBF file.
 * Display, list, and print records from any .DBF file.
 * Ten data entry screen formats tailored to any .DBF file.
 * Creation & use of dBASE III-compatible reports and labels.
 * Creation and use of WAMPUM "mail merge" form letters.
 * Relation of second data base by key for any output format.
 * Full-featured copy utilities to import & export any data.
 * Creation of printer templates to support up to ten fonts.
 * Library of preformatted output forms with sort and select.
 * Library of edit-checks tailored to any .DBF file.
 * Library of macros tailored to any WAMPUM application.
 * Calculated fields using standard dBASE III expressions.
 * File and index packing to restore damaged data files.
 * Automated selections assist for complex Boolean searches.
 * Boolean searches of dBASE III-compatible memo fields.
 * Audit trail / transaction logging for multi-user tasks.
 * NetBIOS-compatible record & file locking network support.
 * Global search and replace of 10 data elements in one pass.
 * Manipulation of any 5 related data bases in form letters.
 * Index key retrieval for production of single form letter.
 * Automatic posting of LASTUSER information in data base.
 * PASSWORD protection system for networks environments.
 * Customized USER configurations for network environments.
 * Specification of particular fields for use in BROWSE mode.
 * Simplified file structure modification like dBASE III's.
 * Multi-drive support for storage of data files & indexes.
 * Optional forced field confirmation.
 * Enhanced documentation outlining many dBASE functions.

WAMPUM may be used on any IBM PC or compatible computer
running DOS version 2.0 or higher with a hard disk. According
to the author, an 80286 is desirable but not essential. You
MUST have at least 320K of memory after everything else is
loaded for WAMPUM alone; 420K to add the REPORT and LABEL
programs. The author suggests at least 512K for optimum use.
WAMPUM will run on most color and monochrome displays. A hard
disk is essential for all but the smallest data files.

WAMPUM  .EXE 284688 ver. 3.2B    [WAMPUM 1 of 12] <SHAREWARE>
             Ward's Automated Menu Package Using Microcomputers is a full-
             featured, menu-driven implementation of the dBASE III
             programming language. This version adds network support while
             remaining both an application development tool and an end-
             user data management system. Either use one of the sample
             programs or start WAMPUM with the command WAMPUM VOODOO<cr>.
             A definite best buy for data management applications.
                       Note: this version will not work after 12/31/89 and
             after 90 days, it reminds you to become a registered user.
