What about HPListKeeper -- HPList for short?
It was a menu-driven flat-file database creator. End users can lay out
fields and do basic selection, sorting, formatting, and printing of
their list. It creates the files as SD type -- don't know if it's the
same as Query's SD or not. We still use it on our N4000, even though I
think it originally was on our Series 64. How's that for
forward-compatibility!
I wrote a COBOL program that'd decipher the SD portion of the file and
spit out a PowerHouse PDL source file that could then be compiled so
that Quiz could access the data directly. My first foray into using the
FOPEN intrinsic in COBOL....
