C/S Professional 1.0 -------------------- Thank you for evaluating C/S Professional ! C/S Pro is not just another set of database components. There's a lot of good stuff out there providing enhanced grid components and things like that. C/S Pro is a set of highly intelligent components which work perfectly together with other database components and give you powerful features for your applications not found anywhere else ( as far as I know): · Auto-synchronized database forms without coding · Soundex alogrithms for the english and the german language generate "soundalike" strings that can be stored and used in queries automatically · "Hook" for custom soundex algorithms · Automatic round functions for currency and float fields · Dropdown calendar for date fields · Automatic, sophisticated QBE functionality without coding · Supports range selections, inversion ( NOT ) and basic comparison operators (=,<>,<,>) through design time / runtime properties · Network messaging component allows easy information exchange over the network · Fully automatic "live" data on all db forms of your application over the whole network; all clients in the network talk to each other to trigger table and query refresh when needed (and only when needed: this is not just a stupid polling mechanism) ! All components need few or no coding at all to work. Thinking about the future ? TCSPRO will be ported to 32bit as soon as possible. Furthermore, the source code is available for additional 99 US$ ! Installation Run TCSPRO.EXE to install the components and samples. After setup has finished sucessfully, run Delphi and install the new component palette using Options/Install Components/Add (File TCSPRO.DCU). If setup fails, copy TCSPRO.DCU, TCSPRO.DCR, TCSQBE.DCU, NETCOM.DCU, NETSYNC.DCU, TCSLKP.DCU and CALPOP.DFM to a directory in your library search path (typically \delphi\lib); finally, add TCSPRO.DCU to your component library. To let the demos run please copy the CUSTOMER.DB and the CUSTSX.DB files from the samples directory to your delphi/demos/data directory. To register the components for 49 US$, go SWREG on CompuServe, #7679. *** PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE DELIVERED THROUGH COMPUSERVE AND MSN EMAIL ONLY *** If you encounter any serious problems please contact me at: Internet: 100732.1722@compuserve.com Compuserve: 100732,1722 MSN: Gernot Kogler Otherwise, please refer to the help file or Manual.rtf in your samples directory for further instructions.
