Maxon Twist
Lu,
>> Pro DataRetrieve
It's interesting to note, that there are much more programs around of a kind
than anyone expects. I've never heard of this program before.
A supplement to my postings regarding Maxon Twist:
In the recent number of the German "Amiga Magazin" they tested Maxon Twist V2.
It got very good marks, namely 10.4 out of 12.
For those who are interested but do not have the possibility to buy this
publication or are not familiar with speaking (or at least reading) German, I
want to "summarize the summery". 🙂
Amiga-Magazin 2/95
Database Maxon Twist, Title "Dancing Data" (p. 110 f)
Summery:
Maxon Twist is currently the best modern database system for the Amiga. For
administraton tasks in the home as well as the semi-professional business it is
a very good choice.
Pros:
Simple usage; high speed; possibility to use datatype objects; many dialog
design functions; N:M relations; many scalar (math) functions; good manual;
nearly completely programmable through ARexx;
Cons:
Not every user input function has a keyboard equivalent; reports only in
textform; no SQL;
