If you are reading this then you have just begun using The ACID
System By Riley Paulk/ADEENA Corporation. First, to let you know
where you are at. This particular world of ACID is the Free Form
Tutorial System. The System will first take you through a few
screens of necessary information [read that required reading]
then you will be in a true "Free Form Tutorail". For those of
you who have never been exposed to the rigors of Automated
Tutorial Development, Free Form means that after that bit of
nasty required reading the System follows you rather than you
following it. When you select a new option the System checks to
see if you have read the related information and, if you haven't,
presents it for your review.
You may terminate the Tutorial at any time. Then when you
restart the Tutorial it will ask whether you would like to start
from the beginning or begin where you left off. There is a lot
of information available, but you only take as much or as little
as you want.

ADEENA's Corporate Information Development System [ACID System]
is an Application Software Design, Development, Implementation,
and Maintenance System. ACID was designed primarily for use in
building and maintaining Applications Software Packages written
in compiled Clipper/dBase programming languages. It is used
throughout all phases of Applications Software Life Cycles.
During the preparation of a System's Functional Requirements
Specifications it is an invaluable tool in defining the new Sys-
tem's requirements for Data Elements; Data Bases; data entry,
storage, manipulation, and retrieval; and system documentation.
Development of a Prototype of the New System during this Phase
becomes a matter of days rather than weeks or months since the
ACID System transfers to the New System a virtually complete op-
erating environment based on infrastructure variables rather than
hard coded source code.
Transition from Requirements Analysis and Prototype Development
to System Design using the ACID System is simply a matter of us-
ing the next higher level of ACID tools. Since all data, speci-
fications, and requirements germane to the New System are already
in the ACID System the Design process begins immediately. In
fact, with a properly developed Data Encyclopedia including Data
Element Definitions and Relationships much of the New Systems
Design is accomplished automatically by ACID.
Unit and Integration Test Procedures development is largely an
automated process in the ACID System. Test Procedures for the
New System are largely a restatement of Functional Requirements
Specifications entered during the Requirements Phase and need
only be expanded on to create specific Unit Tests. System and
Integration Tests are generated automatically by ACID based on
machine analysis of the New System's source code.
During the programming phase of New System production ACID really
begins to shine. If the New System is based on the ACID System
Shell it inherits more than 22,000 lines of source code that pro-
vides more than three hundred data management processes. All of
which has been thoroughly tested, is completely documented, and
is accompanied by comprehensive Unit and Integration Tests. The
writing of source code to accommodate those requirements that are
specific to the New System is further enhanced by ACID's produc-
tion of Source Code Templates and the availability of an exten-
sive Library of functions and procedures that may be called from
within the custom code.
In the Acceptance Phase of New System production ACID serves as a
completely integrated point of reference for all system require-
ments, design details, unit and integration testing, and final
system operability.
Beyond final product acceptance ACID provides a base from which
maintenance of the New Application Software System may readily be
accomplished.
Without ACID, two extremely troublesome areas in the design and
development of Applications Software Packages are matching fin-
ished product to System Design and producing accurate, relevant
System Documentation. With ACID, since the Finished Product is a
direct result of information input and updated throughout all
phases and since virtually all human intervention in the process
is constantly cross referenced to existing System Parameters, the
Finished Product can hardly be different from the design. When
it is different it is by deliberate modification and not by
chance. System Documentation, with ACID, is a directly derivable
product of all phases of producing the Finished Product; is
started when the name of the New System is entered into ACID;
expands as the New System is defined, designed, and created; and
changes in response to even the slightest modification to the New
System.
Key Features of the ACID System are listed below and are expanded
on throughout the User and Technical Manuals. All features,
functions, and procedures as well as all Data Elements used in
the ACID System are provided for on-line reference through ACID's
comprehensive, context sensitive Help System. When using the
ACID System, the entire contents of its User and Technical Manu-
als are no further away than pressing the F1 Function Key.

n sA unique, and very beneficial, feature of the ACID System is that
virtually all of the Key Features of this System transfer, with
very little editing, to any Application Software Package
developed using this System. The majority of the features,
functions, and procedures covered herein are made available to
Applications Packages developed using ACID and are contained in
an Application System Shell -- that is they are essentially
generic and apply equally to any Data Management Software
Application.
Features contained in the Applications System Shell are called
from custom applications code by passing parameters to them that
tailor their functions to the specific application requirements.
An example of this methodology is the generation of Pick Lists or
Look-Up Tables. Rather than writing new code for each Pick List
or Look-Up table in an application the System Shell contains code
that accepts parameters such as the Data Base to use, what Data
Elements should be presented to choose from, whether or not
editing of the List or Table is allowed, etc. The System Shell
working in conjunction with the System's Data Encyclopedia then
formats the screen, presents the list or table, and returns the
User's choice or choices to the calling program.
Those features that are not readily generic and must therefore be
custom edited for the specific application are also made
available to the target application through the use of Source
Code Templates. Examples of this type include Screens, Reports,
and Query functions. disk full <

DOS Version 3.3 or Better
640K Of RAM
Approximately 2M Bytes Of Hard Disk Space
Preferred But Not Strictly Required:
A Minimum Of 1M Bytes Of Free Hard Disk Space -- Data Base
Management Systems require disk space to do Sorts, Packs,
Indexing, etc. ACID will operate with less than this but
there is no guarntee of dependability when its not available.
A clean Operating Environment -- NO TSR's -- That is
no Terminate and Stay Resident software installed.
It will coexist with many but since there are so many
and they change so often it has to be User Beware when
it comes to TSR's.

pFor a quick evaluation of the ACID System Pre-Release Version,
simply unzip the two files ACID-??1.ZIP AND ACID-??2.ZIP in any
drive and directory then type ACID. ACID will then do the rest.
However, if you intend to do a thorough evaluation of ACID you
might want to install it in the manner described following this
paragraph. Then, when you register your package and receive the
full featured ACID System, any work already done in ACID will be
picked up by the upgraded version.
The ACID System Pre-Release Version is designed to operate out of
a primary subdirectory with one subordinate subdirectory. They
are as follows:
ACID Primary ACID System Subdirectory
AC-DBFS ACID Data Bases and Related Indexes
To install the ACID System:
1- Select the hard disk on which the ACID System is to be
installed using DOS commands.
2- Create the two directories listed above using the DOS
Make Directory Command.
Type: MD \ACID [Enter]
MD \ACID\AC-DBFS [Enter]
3- Move or Copy ACID-??1.ZIP into the ACID Directory and
"Un-Zip" it.
Move or Copy ACID-??2.ZIP into the AC-DBFS Subdirectory
and "Un-Zip" it.
4- Change Directory to the Primary ACID subdirectory and
Type: ACID [Enter]

===================
For a quick evaluation of ACID as an Application Software Devel-
opment Tool try the following.
1. Look through ACID itself -- every feature you see used
in ACID transfers to any Application You develop with
ACID.
2. Run some of the reports available such as the System
Data Encyclopedia, System Architecture, and System
User's Manual (Key Features Only -- Unless you want to
browse through over around a hundred pages of informa-
tion). These same reports will be available in Your
Application.
3. Create an ACID Systems Index record for one of Your
Applications.
4. Once Your Application is in ACID, review ITS Data Ency-
clopedia -- You will see quit a bit of ACID's System
Shell information has joined the information for Your
Application. The assumption is that ACID's System
Shell will become a part of your Application. This
information can easily be removed if you elect not to
incorporate the ACID System Shell.
5. Now run ACID's Source Code Analysis on Your Source Code
and 'Wala' You have a User and a Technical Manual
started.
6. Run System Cross Reference/Flow Analysis on Your Source
Code then run the System Architecture/Flow Diagram Re-
port and see how Your System works.
These are just a few ideas to get you started. Run the User's
Manual Summary of Key Features (Screen or File works as well as
printer for this) to get more of an idea of ACID's uses in Appli-
cations Development.

p ex Create a new Application by adding a record to the ACID Ap-
plications Systems Index file. ACID will prompt you for required
information such as the new application's name, acronym, and oth-
er particulars and ask that you select the appropriate drive and
path information. ACID will then create the new application's
System Shell, Data Bases, and Data Encyclopedia. It will also
transfer source code such as a working pull-down menu system,
logo and system memory variables, and source code templates for
data entry screens and reports. With minimal skills in dBase and
Clipper programming languages, a working copy of Clipper S87 or
better (dBase is handy but not necessary), the ability to read
completely annotated source code and the ACID Technical Manual,
and a reasonably good editor you will be able to produce custom
Applications Software that includes virtually all of the features
available in ACID itself.

The ACID System is also designed for use in developing Data
Encyclopedias, System User's Manuals, and System Technical
Manuals for Applications Packages that do not incorporate all
ACID features such as the System Shell. Existing Applications
may be processed through ACID in much the same fashion as
creating a new application. Add a new record to the ACID Systems
Index Data Base and, when prompted, select the "Inventory
Existing Data Bases" Feature. ACID will then analyze all Data
Bases in the selected directory and create Data Encyclopedia
records for all existing Data Elements. disk full <

- iACID based applications maintain a master list of all Data Bases
used by the Application. This Master List is used throughout
system operations as well as the primary point of reference for
the System Data Encyclopedia and System Documentation.
One use of the Master List of Data Bases during system operation
is to return Users to the point at which they left off when last
using an individual Data Base -- the last record viewed, index
used, and view criteria engaged. Data entry typists no longer
have to search through hundreds, or thousands, of records or play
with different indexes and view criteria to resume their work
after a lunch break. ACID remembers the status quo for every
Data Base in the System.
It is normally desirable to sort Data Bases periodically and,
with Data Bases in which memo fields are used extensively, it is
paramount that they be periodically copied, with deleted set on,
in order to control run-away growth of their associated .DBT
file. However, how many of us want to sit and watch a flashing
sort message while the Application performs these mundane tasks.
ACID based Applications accomplish these tasks in a most
unobtrusive fashion. The Master Data Bases List is used to store
a need to do sorts, packs, re-indexes, etc. If the User leaves
the keyboard idle for ten minutes (adjustable) ACID based systems
switch to "Auto Pilot" mode and begin performing these, among
other, tasks. Leave the system loaded while you go to lunch and
when you return its squeaky clean with all system housekeeping
chores completed. disk full <

Data integrity within ACID based Applications is of preeminent
concern throughout the ACID System. ACID begins its interminable
quest for data integrity with the definition of each new Data
Element by thoroughly validating the Data Element itself.
Validation extends far beyond such mundane features as insuring
that dBase and Clipper programming conventions are adhered to.
With the exception of Data Elements designated System or Global
every Data Element used in an ACID based application has a single
point-of-origin and input. Once data is typed in it virtually
never has to be re-entered which significantly reduces data entry
time and, more importantly, assures system wide data integrity.
Additional advantages of such extensive management of Data
Elements include the ability to query an entire system by
manipulating a single Data Element at its point-of-origin;
perform global updates and corrections; and realize significant
reductions in disk space requirements and system processing time
through the use of SRNs (System Reference Numbers) rather than
actual data items. disk full <

Data Element Relationships are used extensively throughout ACID
to aid in normalizing Data Bases, defining Functional
Requirements Specifications, developing Unit and Integration Test
Procedures, and for cross referencing system documentation and
context sensitive help screens.
If a Data Element has a one-to-many relationship to another Data
Element they should obviously be in two separate Data Bases --
right? How many times has one seen attendee1, attendee2,
attendee3, ....... ad infinitum in Data Bases designed by less
than fully astute analysts and programmers.
If a Data Element relationship is "Calculated From" or
"Concantenated From" other Data Elements there should be a Unit
or Integration Test Procedure for assuring that that actually
happens in the completed Application. ACID doesn't let one
forget to do so. disk full <

ACID based Applications accomplish these tasks in a most unobtru-
sive fashion. The Master Data Bases List is used to store a need
to do sorts, packs, re-indexes, etc. If the User leaves the key-
board idle for ten minutes (adjustable) ACID based systems switch
to "Auto Pilot" mode and begin performing these, among other,
tasks. Leave the system loaded while you go to lunch and when

ÿ Uì ACID based applications maintain a master list of all Data Bases
used by the Application. This Master List is used throughout
system operations as well as the primary point of reference for
the System Data Encyclopedia and System Documentation.
One use of the Master List of Data Bases during system operation
is to return Users to the point at which they left off when last
using an individual Data Base -- the last record viewed, index
used, and view criteria engaged. Data entry typists no longer
have to search through hundreds, or thousands, of records or play
with different indexes and view criteria to resume their work
after a lunch break. ACID remembers the status quo for every
Data Base in the System.
It is normally desirable to sort Data Bases periodically and,
with Data Bases in which memo fields are used extensively, it is
paramount that they be periodically copied, with deleted set on,
in order to control run-away growth of their associated .DBT
file. However, how many of us want to sit and watch a flashing
sort message while the Application performs these mundane tasks.

Operations Testing is linked directly to System Source Code and
the System Data Encyclopedia. During the Analysis of the

Process used in the System is identified and locked into System
Documentation and Testing. If it shouldn't be Documented and
Tested, it shouldn't be in the Source Code. Users Do Not Have
the option of deleting functions defined in Source Code and
detected during the analysis of that Source Code. They may call
it anything they like but they can't make it go away. This might
even encourage Programmers that write code by the pound to be a
bit more careful about how they structure their code -- after
all, it is well known that the very last thing any programmer
wants to do is document anything. Better Structure -- Less Code.
Less Code -- Less Documenting. Less Code -- Better Application.
Remember the days when MainFrame Programmers were paid bonuses
based on how many lines of code they wrote. But, then, MainFrame
Programmers didn't have to live in a little box called 640K of
RAM did they. There are several steps involved in developing,
implementing, and managing the ACID approach to Unit,
Integration, and Operations Testing of Applications Packages. The
ACID approach is essentially based on common sense, that is, take
care of all the little things and the big thing will be OK.
The ACID Test Process begins with the definition and
quantification of individual tests for every identifiable
function in the System. If the function is to draw a box, then
the expected result of the test would be that a box gets drawn
somewhere. Now, that's simple enough isn't it. on the other
hand, try quantifying whether or not the Application system
effectively schedules 8,000 events, during the next two years, at
five different locations, using 24,198.5 individual work days
(one person quit after half a day), and did so with minimal
complaints, and maximum utilization of resources.
OK, extremes in both directions, but maybe it illustrates the
ACID approach. Test procedures with anticipated results, and a
method of quantifying those results are defined for individual
functions. That's logical functions folks, has very little to do
with files, programs, procedures, functions, etc. One Program
might be included that accomplishes dozens of functions in the
Application, ergo dozens of tests; while another much larger
program only accomplishes on function - one test.
Nothing gets missed with ACID since it generates at least one
test -- it must do something or we are back to programming by the
pound -- for every definable function found during Source Code
Analysis. Like the rain ADEENA's ACID covers all.
Once again, based on Source Code Analysis and something called
Programs Called/Called By, the ACID System generates an
Integration Test Guide. Distinguish Guide from Plan in that the
Guide is roughly put together by the System for human editing
into what is defined herein as an System Performance/Integration
Test Plan. Plug in people and time and the Plan become a
Schedule with assignments, and you have accomplished and
documented the Application System's Operations Test and/or
Software Quality Assurance. disk full <

Since Scenarios are most commonly the way in which an Application
Software Package takes shape, one of the final steps in
operations testing of an ACID based system is to do scenario
tests. During the requirements analysis and requirements
specifications phase of development; End Users, Analysts, and
others describe what the system should do by describing a series
of events and what they would expect the system to do under such
circumstances. With ACID this series of events is entered as
steps in a Scenario Test. What the End User or Analyst expects
the system to do in each case is entered as test results.
During the Requirements Analysis/Requirements Specifications
Phase in developing an Application System the events and desired
results described by End Users and Analysts in the form of
scenarios are entered as tests and the desired results of those
tests.
During System Design and Programming, Programmers match process
steps to tests and refine those processes to achieve desired
results. ACID requires that at least one reference be made to
the appropriate section in the User's Manual for each step in
testing. Therefore, this approach should force Programmers to
develop system documentation concurrently with system design and
programming. All of these processes are accomplished from within
ACID and many are automated functions. disk full <

Syntax:
Data Type: All
Operands:
type to be compared.
Description: The = (equal) is a binary operator that compares
two values of the same data type and returns true (.T.) if
rules:
Character: The comparison is based on the underlying ASCII
code. ASCII codes for alphabetic characters are
ascending, i.e. the code for "A" is 65 and the code for
"Z" is 90.
When EXACT is OFF two character strings are compared
according to the following rules; assume two character
strings A and B where the expression to test is (A =
B):
If B is null, return true (.T.).
If LEN(B) is greater than LEN(A), return false (.F.).
Compare all characters in B with A. If all
characters in B equal A, return true (.T.); otherwise
return false (.F.).
With EXACT ON, two strings must match exactly, except
for trailing blanks.
Date: Dates are compared according to the underlying date
value.
Logical: True (.T.) is equal true (.T.) and false (.F.)
equal to false (.F.).
Memo: Treated the same as character.
Numeric: Compared based on magnitude.
Examples
* Character.
SET EXACT ON
"123" = "123 " Result: .T.
" 123" = "123" Result: .F.
SET EXACT OFF
"123" = "12345" Result: .F.
"12345" = "123" Result: .T.
"123" = "" Result: .T.
"" = "123" Result: .F.
* Date.

code. Remember that ASCII codes for alphabetic
characters are ascending, i.e. the code for "A" is 65
and the code for "Z" is 90. The length of the two
character strings must be the same. Trailing blanks
are significant.
Date: Dates are compared according to the underlying date
value.
Logical: True (.T.) is exactly equal to true (.T.) and
false (.F.) exactly equal to false (.F.).
Memo: Treated the same as character.
Numeric: Compared based on magnitude using the first 12
significant digits.

ÿ Uì This System provides Users with the ability
to search for Key Words and/or Text Strings in any one or any
combination of Data Elements in the currently active Data Base.
Data Elements to be included in the search are selected from pick
lists with the selected combination being retained by the System
for future use (may be changed when desired).
A virtually unlimited number of Key Words and/or Text Strings may
be entered to search for.
While using this data location feature one might simply review
information on screen, tag or untag records for further
processing, ignore records that do not really apply to current
needs, or pause the search temporarily to perform related tasks
on records near those located.

ÿ Record Tagging and Untagging functions in this System
combine with other features such as View Criteria, Record
Location, and Key Word/Text String Searches to create a uniquely
powerful Data Management environment.
Record tags are useful for producing selective queries and
reports, data edting, and batch processing.
By seting different view criteria and tagging all records in the,
then, current view; by tagging records located during Key
Word/Text String Searches; and by selectively tagging and
untagging records during review, one is able to produce precisely
the view of information desired. Once established this view can
be used for on-screen queries, reports generation, and batch
editing or other processing. Any view of this type can then be
saved as a custom Query and recalled at a future time for use. disk full <

ÿ Uì Sè "Wait State" processing is a System feature that provides Users
with immediate access to truly context sensitive help at any
point in system operations where the computer is idle -- i.e.
waiting for the next User input. When the System is waiting for
the next navigation instruction or option to be selected it is
constantly checking for an F1 Funciton Key input. If this input
is detected the System displays that paragraph in the
User's/Technical Manual that is most closely related to the
actions or options available at that time. disk full <

ÿ Uì Sè .¡B Ø» ¹ÐC$÷Câö Look-Up Tables & Pick Lists are used extensively throughout this
System for selecting inputs into the Data Base being edited
and/or establishing relations from the currently active Data Base
to other Data Bases. Their use is predicated, primarily, on the
need for absolute data integrity; however, an additional feature
is the reduction of effort in data entry -- type it in once, then
let the machine enter it or reference it in any other places it
is needed.
In most cases, if the information in the Data Element being
edited is already correct, the System realizes that there is no
need for the associated Look-Up Table and will move on to the
next Data Element is the User presses the Enter Key. Pressing
any other key will envoke the associated Look-Up Table.
Pressing any navigation key (virtually any key that is not Alpha,
Numeric, Escape, or Enter) will cause the highlighted record
within the Look-Up to be selected based on a match with the
information already in the Data Element being edited. If that
data element is empty then the Look-Up process will start at the
first record in the Look-Up Data Base.

Extensive Text or Memo editing features are incorporated to make
this System a truly powerful data management tool. Complete
Import and Export capabilities are included.
Ever wish you could manage all those memos, letters, notes, and
electronic mail even though they were produced on every
conceivable type of Word Processing Package, Spreadsheet System,
or network editor? Now you can! Create a simple Data Base
Application into which you import them as text files. You can
then sort or index them in any manner desired and even search
through them for that one particular phrase that comes to mind;+
but, that you can not remeber when it was written or to whom it
was addressed. You might even create topic sets based on Key
Words or phrases and recall for review or printing every memo,
note, letter, or piece of electronic mail related to the
information desired -- how sweet it is. disk full <

Due to the number of text editing features made available in this System
this function makes text editing help become a menu from which the User can
select the desired feature. This is extremely functional for new Users of
the System but might prove cumbersome for more experienced Users.
Therefore, in much the same fashion as found in word processing systems,
text editing features may be envoked by Alt-Key combinations as well as from
the functions menu. As a User becomes more familiar with this system he or
she will find less need to slow down for menu options while editing text and
will envoke those functions by using the associated Alt-Key combination. disk full <

Tired of waiting while your current data management application
sorts or indexes your data bases. This System does it while you
take a coffee break, go to lunch, or even while you sleep. It
even remembers to do this when you forget to tell it to.
Leave the System loaded on your computer while you answer that
interminable telephone call and, after a time-out period you set,
it will switch to System Auto Pilot and proceed to complete all
system housekeeping chores that have been postponed while you
were using the System. If you return before it is finished,
escape and you are back at the point you were before you left. If
you are gone long enough, you return to sorted, packed (where
appropriate) and completely clean data. Which means faster
access times, better overall operations, and more compact files.
One problem dBase is notorious for is creeping, uncontrolled
growth of text/memo files, this System's Pack routines compensate
for that and keep such files trimed appropriately. disk fuACID based applications include Data Base Validation and
Management routines that insure that all Data Bases used by the
Application System are in complete compliance with the System's
Master List of Data Bases and the System's Data Encyclopedia. New
Data Bases are created based on parameters input into the Data
Base Master List and their associated Data Elements in the System
Data Encyclopedia and existing Data Bases are modified to comply
with changes to their Data Elements without any loss of data they
contain. Data Elements that are already referenced in source
code may be only be changed by designated programmers.

screen or with a screen that is completely static for very long, this System
explodes a box to the center of the screen and displays a flashing "Working"
message on line 23 while doing processes that take more than a second or so.

R600Navigation during browse mode is standardized throughout this system by this
function. A truly unique and powerful feature of browse navigation in this
System is that Data Bases with Indexes or View Criteria installed are
browsed in exactly the same fashion -- as far as the User is concerned -- as
Data Bases being Viewed in natural order without skipping records that have
been filtered out of the current view. One does notice a slight degradation
of speed and smoothness in the later case. disk fDesigned primarily as a Systems Development and Maintenance tool, the System
Profile Feature provides an overview of system operations any time the
Alt-F1 key combination is envoked. It provides such information as the
amount of Free Pool memory available, Data Bases in use, Filters/View
Criteria and Index Criteria associated with each Data Base, and the option
to write system memory to disk. disk full <

can provide and how readily it can be provided. Report
Generation in this system is designed entirley around
flexibility. A given report is actually numerous report formats
combined in such a fashion as to allow individual User's the
ability to produce an output of just the information they desire
and not one phrase or data item more.
User's select the index, view criteria, and features they desire
before producing any report. Once a report is constructed it can
be recalled and run at any time. disk full <

reports ranging from a bare minimum summary of information about
the Data Bases used in an Application System to a massive amount
of analytical data about those Data Bases. The Summary version
is for those individuals who are already suffering from
information overload or who only require a bare minimum of
information to accomplish their task at hand. The full featured
report is for those who feel a need to document everything or who
simply want to put more paper on their desk to enhance their
business quotient.
Upon selecting this report the User is provided the opportunity
to limit the amount of information included by establishing
View/Filter Criteria. This View might include a single Data
Base, several individully selected Data Bases, group(s) of Data
Bases, or all that are used by this Application System. The View
might be set similarly or concurrently for Data Elements.
Having determined what data the report should process, the User
is then provided with a selection of Features to include in the
