It supplies free-form layout with graphical data access and mathematical calculations. Impress lets users easily retrieve, analyze and present data from relational databases. What sets Impress apart from other reporting applications is this: it is both easy enough for a standard user to use, and flexible enough to accommodate every type of report. This is a major departure from standard report-writers which are either so inflexible that they handle only a very limited variety of reports, or are so complex that they require a programmer in order to produce a report. Impress is able to deliver both ease of use and flexibility because it provides a small set of general concepts which solve a large range of needs. These paradigms are quickly mastered and their wide application makes them suitable to users of all levels of expertise. Impress' features are accessed by such well-known metaphors as dragging-and-dropping, and palettes of elements. An object-oriented scripting language performs calculations and fills the elements with data. Using these simple but impressive tools, a user can create all kinds of reports. Using these simple but impressive tools, a user can create payroll reports, phone lists, labels, form letters, reference materials and corporate annual reports. Installation Information ======================== The software contains "tar'ed" directories. Unpacking the "tar'ed" file will extract a set of directories. Each directory contains the software which is normally on a separate floppy disk when the Software is distributed on physical media. After unpacking the "tar'ed" file, treat the set of directories as floppy disks, and perform an installation as if you had received the Software on floppy disks. Follow all installation instructions when available. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call or write. Objective Technologies, Inc.
