Improved User Interface, Faster Performance, Event-Driven Programming in
Version 3.1

Micro Data Base Systems, Inc. (mdbs) is shipping version 3.1 of
KnowledgeMan, the relational database management system for business
applications. Version 3.1 highlights include a completely rewritten user
interface, I/O speed improvements, and the addition of new event-handling
functions to the KGL programming language.

Version 3.1's querying capabilities of Commander have been greatly
improved. The Query By Example (QBE) now allows users to make multiple
queries on multiple tables and display the results on the screen in
tabular form or as a standard select listing (on screen or printer). The
code used to generate these views can be saved to a file for re-use or to
incorporate into an application.

The use of a mouse is now supported by Commander. In addition, file dialog
and output redirection boxes similar to those found in Windows and
Presentation Manager, are now used throughout Commander. This gives the
interface a distinctly GUI character.

Eight new event handling functions have been added to give developers the
low-level functionality needed to create event-driven applications. Sample
source code illustrating KGL event-driven programming is included in the
3.1 package.

Version 3.1 is available for single-user MS-DOS based PCs, OS/2, most
popular LANs, DEC VAX/VMS and SUN UNIX environments. Applications are
portable across all operating environments. KnowledgeMan is extensible
through many 3GLs such as C and FORTRAN.

For additional information about KnowledgeMan version 3.1, call your sales
representative at (800) 445-mdbs and request a KnowledgeMan version 3.1
update information packet.

Note: All current KnowledgeMan Service and Maintenance customers will
automatically receive a 3.1 update.
