#One That Came On Time
2 messages in this thread
Got my upgrade last week (in September!). MFF is a fairly humble flat file
but I have to say it is one of the finest Amiga applications going. The
interface is beautifully consistant and intuitive. It never crashes. The
author's attention to detail is amazing. The manual leaves nothing to
chance. With the addition of AREXX you could even give MFF limited
relational ability since multiple invocations of MFF can talk to each
other.
As an aside, I think this release of MFF just about gives AREXX the
critical mass to be an Amiga standard (as we all here hope it will be). A
choice of AREXX text editors is here. The addition of telecom (soon, I
hope) and spreadsheet (I'm not holding my breath but Maxiplan has macros
already) would provide an arsenal al least as powerful as any integrated
package currently available for a certain other machine. — Art
Agreed. I've always thought MFF was one of the stablest Amiga applications
available, and up till now I haven't missed the lack of relational
abilities. I'm waiting for my copy of ARexx to arrive, so I can begin
working with MFF+ in earnest. I may still need Superbase Pro (when the
de-dongled version is released) for a couple of things, but I suspect MFF+
will be all I need for most of my incidental databases for a long time to
come.
Since I don't have ARexx yet, I'm not sure about something. Maybe you can
help. Do you think I'd be able to transfer some dBase III+ files into MFF+
with ARexx's help? The included macros don't look like they handle
delimited database files.
