      Individual data administration for the NeXT Computer



YumYum Software Development is pleased to announce VarioData Version 2.0.

VarioData is a flat-file database for NeXT computers. The program places  
various data elements at your disposal to choose the the desired ones for the  
database layout. The consequent NeXT-like unser interface enables you to work  
with VarioData without any training.

VarioData handles texts, numbers, images, sound files, key words, files and  
much more. Formulas can be defined to any extend desired, default values and  
ranges can be determined and serial or unique numbers will be set  
automatically.

VarioData manages large amounts of data without any problems. Data records can  
be listed in a separate listbox. Data records can be merged into form letters.  
Using the import and export interface allows the exchange of data with other  
programs and computers. 

VarioData does not need any server. The extension to SQL databases is in  
development.


A demo version of VarioData is now available on:

	sonata.cc.purdue.edu
		pub/next/submissions/VarioData2.06.README
		pub/next/submissions/VarioData2.06.pkg.tar

The package VarioData consists of the programs VarioBuilder and VarioData.

VarioBuilder is a tool to design VarioData databases. Using the available  
resources you can create your database layout in accordance with your demands  
and ideas. Different data elements are at your disposal which you can choose  
out of three palettes.

With VarioData you fill your database or import data out of other databases.  
Then you can search for all data using any find criteria. All found data  
records are listed clearly arranged in a separate listbox.
You can export your data records into files and you can create form letters  
with for example images out of your database. There are several tools to design  
such letters.


The demo version can handle only 40 data records but is otherwise fully usable.  
The full version is now shipping.
