INFOFLEX SUMMARY
Overview
Infoflex provides 4GL functionality with a well integrated "C" environment rendering no application too complex to implement. Infoflex utilizes a consistent WYSIWYG syntax for easily developing menus, screens, or reports and provides a number of commonly needed features overlooked by other 4GLs. Infoflex is syntactically very similar to Informix and SCO Integra and is compatible with Informix, SCO Integra, SUN Netisam, C-ISAM and D-ISAM. Demos, source and unlimited licenses are available on UNIX, DOS, or VMS.
Features
Infoflex includes packages for developing menus (Menuflex), data entry screens (Screenflex), reports (Reportflex), and SQL scripts (SQLflex). These packages have many advanced features found only in competitive vertical market software such as a report query screen, menu chaining, on-line field specific help, and multi-record scrolling.
Infoflex provides you with a menu system that leads you through the development cycle. Defining a menu, screen or report layout is simply a matter of painting its image in an editor of your choice. The coding syntax is easy to learn because menu, report and screen programs all follow the same syntax (which is very similar to Informix's Perform package). Using this technique, you will be able to quickly develop sophisticated applications without the need for "C" coding. However, should further customization be required, "C" code can be easily integrated with your Infloflex source code.
One reason for Infloflex's high performance is the way reports are linked with a query screen. The query screen enables the system to intelligently access your data resulting in fast report generation. Also, Infloflex dramatically reduces the time required for program switching by having the menu, screen and report drivers all memory resident and keeping user programs sizes down to about 3K - 8K. This architecture results in additional performance benefits in multiuser environments where all users are able to share the same memory resident drivers.
Infoflex is syntactically very similar to Informix and may be used to enhance or replace Informix applications. Infoflex is also compatible with SCO Integra, SUN Netisam, C-ISAM, and D-ISAM data bases. Infoflex is available for XENIX, UNIX, DOS, NETWORKS, UNIFLEX, and VMS operating systems.
Infoflex is an established product with over 1200 installations. Our clients include 3M, AT&T, and Pitney Bowes.

SCREENFLEX This package lets your develop screens by painting their image in an editor of your choice (syntax is similar to Informix's Perform). Features include scrolling and updating multi-records arrays, and on-line help information from field level on up.
REPORTFLEX This package lets you develop reports by painting their image in an editor of your choice (syntax is similar to Informix's Perform). Features include a query screen for intelligently selecting report data, an on-screen report viewer, and runtime options for routing reports to any device.
MENUFLEX This package lets you develop menus for any application. Menuflex features include variable column organization, menu chaining (direct jumping to any menu and/or choice), popup menus, password protection, and calls to external programs or internal "C" functions. Menu Layouts may be parameter driven or controlled via menu templates which are menu images created in an editor of your choice (syntax similar to Informix's Perform). At runtime, menu selections are made via arrow keys (point and shoot) or numeric entry.
SQLFLEX This package lets you use SQL statements for querying, creating and modifying Infoflex, Informix, SCO Integra or SUN Netisam databases. The package follows standard SQL syntax and has many performance improvements over the Informix version.
ISAMFLEX This package lets you directly access your Infoflex, Informix, SCO Integra or SUN Netisam databases via a powerful "C" library.
ALLFLEX This package is similar to Informix's ALL-library.
INFOFLEX A combination of the previous described packages: Screenflex, Reportflex, Menuflex, SQLflex and Isamflex. Together these packages provide all of the necessary tools to develop your application. Your application may interface with Infoflex, Informix, SCO Integra or SUN Netisam compatible databases.
QUERYFLEX This package enables the novice user to develop reports using a Point and Shoot interface. Queryflex provides control over report formats, sort order, table join relationships, totalling and data selection.
ACCOUNTFLEX This is a full-featured accounting system including modules for Order Entry, Purchase Order, Inventory, Payroll, A/R, A/P, G/L. Each of these modules may be purchased separately, and like all other Infloflex related products, will be compatible with Informix, SCO Integra or SUN Netisam data bases.
C-ISAM This package is a "C" library of low-level file management routines developed by Informix.
D-ISAM This package is a C-ISAM clone developed by Byte Designs.
QUAMARK This package captures keystrokes while running any Informix application for later replay. Ideal for QA regression testing and marketing demos. This product was developed by BSD Software Consultants, Inc.
