And you can start with the basic Arity Interpreter (I think as
cheap as turbo) and add other things in the ARITY package
if/when you need them:
Interpreter/Compiler
Screen Design Predicates
File Transfer Package
SQL (Structured Query Language)
Expert Systems Development Pkg
I have found particularly that SQL and Screen Design
Predicates make data base applications a snap.
