TAS Professional 6 Powered by CAS
-
Version
6.16Q
TAS Professional 6 is designed to be a complete
application development tool for graphical operating
systems. It provides application building tools for
the programmer new to application development, as well
as the seasoned developer demanding professional
quality development tools designed to work together
from the beginning. These powerful utilities include:
Data Dictionary Manager
Database Maintenance Programs
Form Editor
Report Editor
Source Code Editor
Runtime Compiler
Skins Editor (future version)
Install Builder (future version)
TAS Professional 6 includes over 150 commands, each
with many options, and over 230 functions that can be
used in expressions. Many of the TAS Professional 6
commands can be compared to macro functions found in
other high level languages. In other words, a single
TAS Professional 6 command can often replace several
entire lines in other languages. Add to this the
ability to create User Defined Commands (UDCs) and
User Defined Functions (UDFs), and you now have a very
powerful development tool.
Currently, TAS Professional 6 runs only on the
Windows© operating system, however, in the future we
plan to run on Linux systems and directly on the
Internet. Due to the design of TAS Professional, any
programs you create to run on Windows© will run,
without change, on these other platforms also. You
will be able to change database managers at will. You
won't even need to recompile the programs! This means
that from the same set of programs you can have some
users running Windows© some running Linux©, maybe
others on platforms to come, and all can be running
the exact same set of programs accessing the same
database.
What TAS Professional 6 isn't? You're not going to
write an operating system with TAS Professional. It
isn't meant to replace programs like C++ or Delphi©.
It was designed to give you the capabilities to easily
and quickly develop general purpose business/financial
programs with a GUI
