Probably Alpha Four. I used the DOS version back in about ‘93 or so.
Yes. It was Alpha Four. It was not as robust as Foxbase, or what MS-Access became, but we offloaded data from a mainframe and parsed it into a DB in AlphaFour, using that DB in Alphafour to print an annual pension account statement to the membership. It had been a mainframe printing operation before that. Using that method we were also able to share that DB with a department, sharing Alphafour with them also, so they could make reprints of those statements from their own PC’s.
Even when other things on our networks and systems had progressed to other client-server database methods, that one operation continued to remain in the Alphafour method for a number of years (if it’s not broke don’t “fix” it).
