To the Valued R:BASE Community; RBTI and the "Dream Team" have received many requests for a simple, easy way to format data stored in an R:BASE database without the overhead of separate reports for each task. Our community was also looking for R:BASEed word-processing interface to simplify the whole process so that end users like secretaries and receptionists could create document templates on the "fly". Well, the answer is finally here. R:Merge truly is a dream come true for R:BASE Developers and end users! Why take valuable time to create and test complex R:BASE reports to do simple tasks like print labels, mass mailers, or interoffice memos? R:Merge can extract the data from any R:BASE 2000 (ver 6.5) or higher database and allow you to format the output into many different formats, one of which being a PDF fie, without even installing or purchasing expensive PDF Writer Software! Your custom designed page is ready in minutes and is created using a very friendly and powerful word processing and spell checking interface that you customize to your needs. R:Merge is an INDEPENDENT, STAND ALONE product that is built on the Next Generation R:BASE 7.0 technology that connects to R:BASE 2000 (ver 6.5) and higher databases WITHOUT using ODBC or creating any DSNs. R:Merge uses the true Windows GUI that includes many features, one of which is a state-of-the-art data browser that allows you to create WHERE clauses to customize your data retrieval so that you only print the data that you want. All data interaction is in the READ ONLY mode so that the data integrity is protected from accidental destruction by the end user. After many months of research, expenses, development and testing, the first public Beta version of R:Merge is almost ready for release. As a precursor to its release, we have designed a dedicated website with a virtual tour of R:Merge's features for your viewing pleasure. Please visit: http://www.RMerge.com Enjoy the next generation of R:BASE products, and stay tuned for further details, pricing and licensing. I wish you all a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
