OPEN Windows
You're not quite ready to make the full move to
Windows, but you want to be able to use some of the handy features Windows
offers. And, you'd like better memory management. OPEN Windows is the bridge
to the Windows environment that you need. It's a Resource Manager
application for OPEN SYSTEMS® Accounting Software (OSAS) that
allows you to use Windows printers, pick items from a menu with a mouse,
re-size fonts, change colors and fonts, and much more. BBx
PROGRESSION/4 for Windows from BASIS International Ltd. provides a stable,
full-featured foundation for OSAS applications to build on. It is one of the
most powerful application languages ever.
Manage your system with ease; increase productivity
OPEN Windows includes general system services and utilities that help
eliminate the need for entering intricate operating system commands, thus
reducing the chance of error. You'll be able to use Workstation
Configuration Maintenance to define system devices, set up screen colors
and function keys, and establish defaults for each workstation—all to your
specific needs. You determine how to track company information with Company
Setup. This includes maintenance of critical information by company and for
multiple companies, creating and converting data files, setting up access
codes for data security, and tailoring your menus.
OPEN Windows allows you to work smarter in any application. You'll save
time and frustration by putting critical information at your fingertips.
You'll have fast, easy access to information on key fields, codes, and IDs
from predefined inquiry windows. And, you can customize the windows to
provide just the information you want. To help you make up-to-the-minute
decisions, reports are printed with time stamps in 12- or 24-hour formats.

OSAS OPEN Windows Offers Choices and Flexibility With These Key Features:
- You'll have true multiuser processing on multiuser versions such as
Windows for Workgroups, Windows 3.1, Windows NT (from Workgroups or 95
workstation only), and Novell. You'll be able to run OSAS on one terminal
and simply set up icons on another for access; no need for a separate
installation!
- As many as nine sessions may be running on one workstation at once.
Save time by starting a post here and running a report there.
- You may elect to have error and warning messages appear in a true
Windows box or in a standard OSAS box.
- You can easily set up work groups and icons on networked computers
after you install OPEN SYSTEMS Accounting Software by using the Set Up
Terminals function from the Resource Manager diskette. This will allow you
to set up multiple icons for OSAS on other workstations, as well as maintain
a list of terminal IDs that you use for those machines. Set up an icon for
each session you want to have available.
- You can change the title bar of a window and reduce it to an icon; the
custom title will remain on the icon.
- You can easily access Global Inquiry, regardless of the OSAS application
you're currently working in—allowing you to locate any information you need
at any level of detail. You can access data in another OSAS application
file, and you won't have to exit and open multiple programs or wait for
reports to print.
- You can view important data with inquiry windows and quickly sort it
according to the key data you select. You can also use inquiry window math
when you want to define the data to calculate statistics.
- Define access codes for each workstation, providing password protection.
You can protect individual applications, menus, and functions. The system
security file is encrypted.

windows, online field help, and on-the-fly maintenance.

You may choose whether or not to display the function key descriptions at
the bottom of your screen.

correct country code. A list of codes is provided, and it can be sorted by
code or country name.

999 lines of help are provided on a specific field.
