SOFTQUAD SHAREHOLDER ALERT! Ref/Alpha Five Professional Version 3.
Computer Shopper, August 1997, page 464. The End of the Difficult Database by John Gliedman PC Review
"...Back in the bad old days of DOS, when FoxPro, Paradox, and dBase were the kings of the database hill, Alpha Software Corp. made a name for itself as being a user-friendly dBase clone. Since then, as the latest Windows 95 release of the company's flagship product shows, Alpha has come a long way. Version 3 of Alpha Five Professional comes about as close as any product on the market to squaring the circle, i.e. achieving the seemingly impossible task of combining ease of use and intuitive operation for the novice with the power and flexibility developers require for building custom reports, queries, forms, help screens, and the like. And it does all of this for less than $100...Alpha Five 3 Professional Edition is a drop-dead bargain. Make no mistake, Alpha has hit a home run on this release...". [emphasis added] |
