Record-Trans 2.0 lets you use a modem or your LAN to query remote
dBASE III or IV, Clipper or FoxBase database files and transfer
specific database records, rather than entire files.
 
Once you receive the files, at rates between 300 and 9600 bits
per second, the modem version of Record-Trans lets you send back
multiple records to multiple database files, thus upgrading
several database files at once. Upgrading multiple databases in
multiple remote locations is the next step. And with an Advanced
Editor function, you can create batch files that connect and
update many remote database locations without database operator
intervention. Record-Trans also has log files to time-stamp
activities in the systems.
 
The LAN version is compatible with any NetBIOS-compatible network
like Novell's Netware, Banyan's Vines, 3Com's 3Plus and 3+Open,
etc. It has a Record Locking function allowing multiple users on
your LAN simultaneous access to the database.
 
Both the modem- and LAN-compatible versions of Record-Trans allow
simultaneous access to remote and local databases, with
simultaneous display in two windows on your screen. With this
function, you can add, delete, and update records to the two
databases at the same time. You can also cut and paste between
the two databases.
 
Specific system requirements include MS-DOS 3.0 or higher, 512K
bytes RAM, a serial adapter, and a Hayes-compatible modem or
NetBIOS-compatible network operating system.
 
Price: Modem version, $250 per node; single-user LAN version,
$250; multi-user LAN version, $499.
