Features
--------

MUIbase is a fast and flexible database system. It is targeted for advanced
desktop users who want to manage data in a comfortable and powerful way. MUIbase
is able to manage any kind of data, e.g. addresses, CD series, movies, photo
collections, your family tree, your income and expense, and much more. The power
of MUIbase lies in its clear and powerful graphical user interface and its
programming capabilities. Programming MUIbase allows you to process data in
various ways, e.g. automatic calculations upon user input, generation of
reports, import and export of data, etc. For example MUIbase can be used for
calculating the total amount of income, or the total amount of recorded time on
a CD, or to automatically create and print serial letters to your customers.

MUIbase offers the following features:

* Unlimited number of projects, tables, attributes, and records.

* Attributes can be of type string, memo (multi line text), integer,
real, date, time, Boolean, choice (one item out of many items), reference
(easy way to reference a record of another table), button (for
starting MUIbase programs), and virtual (compute value on the fly).

* The string type can also manage lists of strings, files, and fonts.
A string can refer to an external image which is displayed in the
graphical user interface.

* Dynamic loading of records.  Records which are not needed may be
flushed from memory (e.g. when memory is low).

* Programmability.  With the easy and powerful MUIbase programming
language complex tasks can be implemented.  The language also
includes a SELECT-FROM-WHERE query for easy and fast data retrieval.

* Ordering of records by any combinations of attributes.

* Flexible and powerful search and filter facility.

* Query editor which allows entering and managing of SELECT-FROM-WHERE
queries.  The queries can be saved and the results can be printed.

* Import and export facility.

* Full documentation including user and programming manual in HTML
and PDF.

* Operating system independence.  MUIbase is available for Linux, Windows
and Amiga.  The source code of MUIbase is also available as part of a
Source Forge project.
