Mariano, I'll reply in more detail re licensing and formatting when I
get home from vacation on March 1. Meanwhile I'm glad to see others
stepping up to help with editing. --Jean

Frank et al,
Perhaps I yelled too soon! I have found an .odt file
OpenOffice.org Style Guide for US Documentation. This looks to be
most of what I need. There is a sample Title Page included, and good
advice for other things. I can get started with it, unless there is
something else I

Do you mean Base or Basic? You mentioned you'd need
some Basic experience.

At this moment I am focusing on part III (and final) of the Mid Level Base

Part III covers the specifics of coding with base the features discussed in

Thanks for your guidance. I have uploaded the three parts for the tutorial as
promised. Parts I and II could benefit from a kind reader that spots technical
errors or grammatical sins. I am still working on part II and, clearly, on part
III.
Part II requires that I include the reports

I will convert the Tutorial to PDF and upload the files to the site you

There is a lot of information to digest, process, select and organize
in educational terms. Drew Jensen has been invaluable help.
Hi Drew, nice to hear from you.
I am very excited about ending this job and being able to coordinate with you.
Please let me know if you still have the forms and reports for the example or
if you need them again. I think that they pretty much help delineated the end

Hello Frank,
I have not received response from Drew, either to my open letter on Jan 9th nor
to mail sent to a personal account. Do you know if he is still participating or
maybe on vacation? At this moment the tutorial aims to explain how to actually
implement with BASE the options explored
Hi Drew!
I am happy to see that you are ready to continue with this project. We
certainly didn't make it for the Nov. 15 date. Well, we do what we can.
The last part of the tutorial has to do with explaining how to code the design
that was developed in the previous parts of the tutorial. I am
Hi Jean,
Many authors want the protection and control of the PDL for their
work; I have no argument with anyone who does. However, the PDL
has some requirements that many of us think are a major nuisance

Regarding the tutorial you are writing, do you have a preference
on the license under which it will be released? (If you have
already stated a preference, I apologise for missing that note.)

Oh darn, that is too brief an answer to that question.
The engine supports it, when used as an embedded engine in a Base file
however it is not directly supported. Using code to wrap around your
database solution one can take advantage of it again, but given this
it most likely would be more of
