HUGE BASE v2.1b- Release 4- The End
Welcome to Huge Base!
Whether you've got names and addresses, millions of CD's,
thousands of videos or you know loads of girls then keep track of
them all with Huge Base. I do!
Huge Base is a must for all of your database needs. Keep all of
those bits of data and pieces of paper in order no matter how small
or how large the data is. Huge Base is guaranteed to advance by the
second and stay with the Amiga, and the Amiga ONLY!
Background
Huge Base was written in AMOS Professional. Europress have now
abandoned AMOS and all knowledge of the Amiga (gits), but AMOS
lives on, and so does the Amiga! So WE don't want you back either,
Europress!
Software used to create Huge Base : -
- AMOS Professional V2.0 and Compiler - "AMOS rules!"
- Deluxe Paint IV by Dan Silva - Used to create the title/about
screen.
- Text Engine V5 by Nicholas Harvey - This was used to create and
spell check these documents.
- Ordering V1.05 by Julien Torres - This was a great help in
compiling the disks and testing the output files created by Huge
Base. Also, to keep my backups of Huge Base in perfect order and
condition.
Huge Base was created using a standard A1200. I've got one external
drive, 1GB hard drive and no memory expansions. I'm discovering
that 2MB just isn't enough anymore. And as for the monitor, I
haven't got one, it's a crap portable TV!
Why write Huge Base?
I wrote Huge Base because there wasn't one single database program
out there that did all of the things that I wanted it to do. This
is normality when talking about shareware - an author hasn't got
what he wants, so he makes his own, that's the way it works, and it
works very well. That's why the Amiga has such good software
nowadays.
I also wanted a program in which the author would listen to the
users ideas, this is how programs get to be so good as versions
increase. Most importantly, I wanted a database program that was
updated and supported regularly. And what better author to support
it than ME!
THE END
Unfortunately folks, this is the very last upgrade I will do to
Huge Base. Due to the huge piracy that went on during the first
release period, I have no money left to produce Huge Base. It's sad
to see my little Huge Baby die but that's the way it has to be.
However, I am still willing to sort out problems and answer
letters, maybe even do tiny little upgrades.
Any bugs reported will be fixed and the version letter
upgraded.
