ORACLE CARD 1.1 BASED FREE SOFTWARE

Subject: Oracle Card 1.1 based Free Software

I am offering to the Oracle Community a MENU PROGRAM GENERATOR that is specification based. This OC stack is implemented on version 1.1.1.5 of Oracle Card and works with O6/O7 under windows 3.1 and Macs.

Description/Features

• Graphically entered specifications.
• Text Fields and Button property definitions graphically acquired either through typing or menu selections. Most OC related properties are supported including height,location, color,justification, width,border type, font, fontsize, etc...
• Menu card property definitions
• Hierarchical decomposition of menu between title(s), subtitles(s), menu options(s)
• Programmatic links between options and targets.
• Storage of specification in ASCII for further interactive modifications.
• Defaults values for storage of 'look and feel' types among menus part of the same application(s).
• Generation of menu in both horizontal or vertical modes, this interchangeably even in one sequence of option developments.

and last the program generator.

Notes:

This is the first part of a full development platform where I am developing a FILE PROGRAM GENERATOR (think about the OC stack builder with complete functionality (propertywise,operationwise, lockingwise and more) but without the very long response time existing today in OC 1.1). A REPORT PROGRAM GENERATOR based on providing an OC tailored graphical specification acquisition system to REPORTWRITER 2.0 will then follow.

When: File tool in 8 weeks and REPORT tool: six months
