There's a fair amount of material that we
don't have packaged up for
download yet, including one or two versions of INFORMATION, some text
games, and most of a PULSE library from the Rev 17? era. The Georgia Tech
Software Tools environment is available. There are several full screen
editors, including Emacs and the Sheffield editor. We have the indexed
file handler, but not the DBMS.
It sounds like we have a lot to look forward to. I have a fondness for
databases, and full screen text based data entry apps, so INFORMATION and
the forms management system sound particularly interesting to me.
I've read through a bit of the FORMS users guide. I only found FORMS
installed on the Rev 19 sample system so far, but haven't checked all the
systems yet. I haven't tried to do anything with FORMS aside from listing
existing forms. There weren't any.
The only info I could find on INFORMATION was its product bulletin. Was it
The Prisoner's title sequence where a voice kept repeating INFORMATION ...
INFORMATION? For some reason that came to mind. I need to get around to
watching that series. I've only seen a bit of the first episode.
