Try BASIS GUI Tools–Free!

BASIS is only as successful as our application developers can make us. Helping you succeed is our highest priority.

We offer the best programming language we can. As you will read between the covers of this Advantage, we work to keep improving it, we back it with quality assurance and support, and with our next generation, BBj™, we will bring you exciting new capabilities.

Don’t forget to look in the cover of this Advantage. There you will find a CD-ROM containing tools you can use to sell your own product.

This CD will help you learn about our GUI products. But use it to show your own customers how good you can make applications look. This CD was designed to travel. Show your customers the Dry Canyon Chile Company demonstration. They’ll see how Visual PRO/5® produces the Microsoft Windows 95/98 look and feel they need in the stable, robust BBx® environment you already offer them.

Many resellers say they need tools describing BASIS products to support the sale of their applications. So we’ve packaged a presentation for you to show your customers. It includes descriptions of our products and our strategic direction. It’s in Microsoft PowerPoint. We’ve even included a PowerPoint viewer so you can open the presentation and show it to your customer without having to buy the PowerPoint package.

You’ll also find working copies of Visual PRO/5, GUIBuilder™ and Configurator among the tools you need to help your customers go GUI. Your customers might want to know more about your partner, BASIS International Ltd., so we’ve included some corporate background. And the BBj White Paper describes the future of software development at BASIS. Want to know more about BASIS products? We’ve provided all of our product documentation on the CD, plus a description of our latest revision, Feature Release 2.20, which includes better security, socket capability and more multilingual support.

Once you’ve seen how good GUI can be, write your own applications. The Visual PRO/5 license included on the CD is good until the end of the year. The online documentation and tutorials will help you get started. Click on the training button for a schedule of classes we offer to help you.

We plan to provide these demonstration CDs in future Advantage magazines as well. Like our products, each revision of the CD will have something new that we think will help you succeed. So install the latest CD every time you get a new Advantage.

Our commitment is to provide you with not only the best software we can make but also with the best marketing support around. It is thanks to you that Business Runs on BASIS™. We’ll do everything we can to keep it that way.

Product Marketing Manager
