Description of the Watcom Infobase CD-ROM:
The Watcom Infobase CD-ROM is a complete source for Watcom product
related reference data including all technical support resource information. This up-to-date reference provides developers
with immediate access to the information they need the most.
Updated quarterly, the Watcom Infobase gives developers an inside track
to the latest technical information available at Watcom. Easy,
intuitive access to powerful information and proven troubleshooting tips
and techniques help maximize developer productivity. All of the components
of the Watcom Infobase CD-ROM are fully indexed, making it fast and easy
to find what you need. You can quickly search through the entire CD to
locate all references to single or multiple word phrases.
Pop-up search windows display a comprehensive index of each word on the
infobase.
This pipeline to Watcom technical support experts provides in-depth and
timely information on subjects of special interest to Watcom customers
designing client/server applications. The CD is based on the ongoing
collaboration of Watcom customers, partners, technical support engineers,
developers and trainers. The real-world support solutions give you the
technical resources you need to
stay on top of client/server development issues.
The Watcom Infobase CD-ROM contains a growing collection of technical
support resources, application development topics, and Watcom partner
information, including:
- Watcom internal technical information and answers to the most commonly
encountered support questions.
- Access to the entire catalog of FaxLine documents, including application
development tips, techniques and code samples.
- The Watcom Alliance Partner Directory, a listing of Client/server Open
Development (CODE) Partners.
The Watcom Infobase incorporates Folio Corporation's BVIEWS technology
for full featured querying, searching and data retrieval. You can quickly
access the CD and select from a variety of information sources, or
infobases. BVIEWS searches across all open infobases and returns a
highlighted list of "hits", all the words or phases which match your query.
Locating a specific issue or question in one or more infobases is easily
accomplished using the BVIEWS Query Window. A time saving word list
displays all words in the infobase next to your query, greatly improving
searching productivity.
