SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

CA-Clipper 5.2

FEATURES

* Simply by relinking, your apps have seamless access to the many advantages of Microsoft's FoxPro CDX/FPT indexes including instant compatibility with a host of Windows systems.

* Store unlimited indexes in one compound index and reduce file handle requirements!

* Comix indexes are 1/3 to 1/6 the size of NTX's subtantially reducing disk storage requirements and improving LAN performance.

* Scoped Indexes allow you to instantly access records within any range, even in TBrowse()!

* Conditional Indexes store only the keys which meet a specific condition.

* Use cmxKeyNo() and cmxKeyCount() for slick scroll bars and "record n/total" displays.

* SET RELATION TO ... SCOPED lets you handle true one to many relationships with ease! When you select the child workarea, only the records related to the current parent record are visible.

* Virtual Unique Indexes make any index appear UNIQUE instantly!

* Dynamic Ascending/Descending Indexes let you view records in ascending or descending order using the same index!

* Custom Built Indexes (CBIs) let you add and delete only the keys you want. You can also change a Conditional Index to a CBI.

* Find the last occurence of a key as quickly and easily as you find the first with cmxSeekLast()!

* Blow past DBT limits! Comix allows you to store binary data directly in memo fields for unlimited flexibility.

* Free up memory! Comix 3.0 uses 8K less memory than DBFNTX for Clipper 5.2. Comix can be fully dynamically overlaid in tight memory situations.

* Excellent LAN Performance - Sophisticated locking strategies available nowhere else provide maximum index access concurrency with total safety. Or get 100% FoxPro compatible locking for seamless integration of FoxPro and Clipper apps.

* One Stop Solution. For unbeatable performance, reliability, and features, Comix is the only RDD you need.

COMIX / ClipMore Bundle

ClipMore works with Comix to give Clipper apps the power of state of the art

Query Optimization.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

CA-Clipper version 5.02

Comix RDD version 3.0

ClipMore Features

* Add Blazing Speed to TBrowse's, Reports, Replaces, ad-hoc queries, and anywhere you do selective database access.

* Using ClipMore is as easy as SET FILTER TO but is much much faster!

* The SET FILTER TO command automatically maps to ClipMore's cmFilter() function, giving your apps blazing response times simply by relinking!

* ClipMore uses all available indexes to greatly enhance the speed of selective data access. Typical speed improvements are from 10 to 1 up to an amazing 1000 to 1.

* Stop wasting time retrieving records that do not meet the specified condition!

* Linear Optimization substantially improves performance even when no indexes are available!

* Eliminate sluggish Page Up / Page Down response times in TBrowes's. Get instant record to record response.

* ClipMore is the only Query Optimizer that uses 3 types of optimization (Index Optimization, Linear Optimization, and Smart Filtering) to isolate records under the toughest of conditions!

* ClipMore's high level cm* functions, such as cmFilter() and cmReFilter(), give you a powerful yet simple interface to add blazing speed to your applications.

* cmSaveFilter() and cmRestFilter() make interactive querying systems a breeze to design and implement.

* For the Power Users, ClipMore gives you access to the low-level RecordList functions used to implement the cm*() functions.The rl*() functions give you complete flexibility to attack your application requirements in the best way possible.

* ClipMore gives you the power to create better solutions to user needs and makes your development efforts simpler, faster andmore profitable.
