Hello David:
Yes, dBMAN is available for the Amiga. I have a copy of it myself. It does
seem to work very nice. I especially like the way it explains the errors.
Although I do have one MAJOR complaint. It has no text editor built in.
The ads as well as the manual say it is compatible with dBase II and III,
well, both of those programs have their own Wordstar-command compatible
text editor. And for someone who writes a lot of lengthy programs this is a
real pain. Every time you want to work on the program or correct any of the
many errors every programmer wanders upon you have to exit dBMAN and then
go into your word processor, load the program, edit it, save it, close out
of the word processor. Then you load dBMAN again and run the program and
hope that there are no errors, otherwise you get to do it all over again.
But other than that, I think it is great! Ava good one…
