PowerTREE is a Btree Manager. Briefly, its a way of indexing a database file based on a certain key. For example, you might index a customer list by their Surnames.
Ok, I am getting sold on Power Tree.... but the project I have
in mind for it is Genealogy. Too tedious to go through here,
but in a nutshell can/will Power Tree print on 4 by 6 inch
cards using condensed print? Lance, if seeing a gif/jpg of
the desired finished product helps you respond, feel free to
email me off list.
Yes, I know, the programming end is up to me, but I am hoping
it has printer function control. 19 CPI would be absolutely
wonderful!! (Anything less than that wouldn't be enough
and my client would have to make a decision if she wanted to use
regular paper or not.)
And in indexing a single data base, can one data base use four
indexes? Primary, Secondary, third, and fourth?
Thank you.

Robert,
PowerTree won't offer any feature that would allow printing. It is
just a indexing program that will allow you to 'sort' and easily
retrieve data in your database. You provide the data, and
PowerTree will handle index in sorted fashion. I don't remember
exactly what the limitations are, but 4 indexes should be no problem
at all.
As far as printing.... if you are using a 'windows only' printer and
need to print to it from your Dos program, Lance has a product
called DOSPRINT, in which a demo can be downloaded from www.dosprint.com
This does assume one is running at least win95.

Gary, great! From the above, can I assume you mean if my
printers are Windows and Dos, that I can send printer
control functions to get the font sizes? If so, then all I have
to do is find those codes. The codes are not in the manual,
but I think I saw them displayed somewhere on the Internet.
Thank you!!!

Robert, to clarify... If you are running your DOS program from
Windows and your printer won't print from a DOS program (which is very common now-a-days)
Then DOSPRINT would convert your information being sent to the
printer into a format that a 'windows only' printer can understand.
If your printer will allow you to print from a DOS program, then
you should be set. PowerTree will not affect printing in any way.
It only indexes data for quick retrieval.
