The Mate database is a conventional cardbox, and working only in memory you'll be restricted to around 13K of data. This isn't too serious, so long as you stick to the sort of applications Gemini suggest - catalogues of collections, or small mailing lists. Disc users, however, will miss the extra capacity the Mini Office II database would offer them. If Mate can't handle enormous quantities of data, it can certainly offer you flexibility. Rather than having the usual fixed-length fields in a standard format, your record cards can take any form you like. You can put text and fields anywhere you like - and the fields can be any length up to 160 characters. Once you've built up your mailing list or whatever, there are plenty of commands to let you use the information. The FIND command is a little unfriendly if you've never done any BASIC programming, but it is very powerful. If you want to find all those stamps in your collection that are blue, worth less than £5 and originate in Peru or Bolivia, FIND can do it. Another powerful feature is the CALCULATE option, which can handle numbers or text. Again, you'll need to know some BASIC to get the most out of this. To print out your data you can make do with the PRINT command, but you can achieve much more with the separate report generator program. This can handle anything from simple labelling up to a crude-but-effective mailmerge. If you stand-alone package, and is effectively unchanged. The inclusion of the graph/chart plotter as the fourth component of the package means that you can present your bank balance figures as bar, line or pie charts and then dump them to a Mannesman or Epson-compatible printer.

Page créée en 261 millisecondes et consultée 1985 foisL'Amstrad CPC est une machine 8 bits à base d'un Z80 à 4MHz. Le premier de la gamme fut le CPC 464 en 1984, équipé d'un lecteur de cassettes intégré il se plaçait en concurrent du Commodore C64 beaucoup plus compliqué à utiliser et plus cher. Ce fut un réel succès et sorti cette même années le CPC 664 équipé d'un lecteur de disquettes trois pouces intégré. Sa vie fut de courte durée puisqu'en 1985 il fut remplacé par le CPC 6128 qui était plus compact, plus soigné et surtout qui avait 128Ko de RAM au lieu de 64Ko. |
