What is Panorama II?

The venerable Panorama flat-file database for the Macintosh is getting a new look for the 1990s.

In addition to providing System 7.0 compatibility. ProVue Development has outfitted Panorama II with a streamlined interface, improved report and label generation capabilities, a full-fledged programming language, and multiuser support, the company said.

ProVue has replaced Panorama 1.5's spreadsheetlike data entry form with a pop-up Input box. It has also organized its multiple File submenus into a new View menu, from which users can open forms, macros, and cross-tabs.

Users can add. remove, and change field properties without using the design sheet, according to Jim Rea, ProVue's president.

In addition, a QuickReport dialog box allows users to automatically create a standard row-and-column report, to which users can add graphics. A QuickLabel button makes it easier to set up and copy fields onto labels, according to the company.

Panorama's printing capabilities have also been enhanced.

The new programming language, PanTalk, supports existing macros and lets users create custom menus or modify existing menus.

The Panorama II database will run on any AppleTalk Filing Protocol-compliant network. Users can access files on a shared volume, if the files are stipulated as multiuser.
