You use Object View and Object Script, two object-oriented
database programs from Matesys, with Microsoft Windows 2.10 or
higher. The programs use a black box approach in which a small
set of easy-to-remember commands produce clear outputs, with the
complexity of the software hidden from you. In addition, you can
combine program modules like building blocks for integrated,
transparent data exchange.
 
Object View is a visual front-end to standard relational
database engines such as dBASE III and SQL Server. You use
graphic tools such as scrollable multifont tables, text boxes,
rulers, and buttons for data entry and query. Object Script is a
visual object-oriented language that you use to automate and
synchronize windowing tasks. It provides buttons, icons, graphic
controls, and menus that you use to run applications and emit
messages. You can use both programs with Microsoft Windows
programs that support the Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) protocol.
 
Two more programs in the series, called Object Query and Object
Report, are planned for early 1990.
 
Price: $200 U.S. for Object View; $150 U.S. for Object Script.
