QUIKCODE LANGUAGE
Are you looking for a
simple, yet powerful language for use on your IBM compatible personal
computer? Do you need a language for scanning files, producing reports,
converting files, or for just creating a quick utility?
Introducing QuikCode, a
procedural language similar to the Quikjob language existing on the IBM
mainframe. It was developed by software consultants with a need for a
quick utility language that can be easily installed and run at any client
site using an MSDOS, Stratus VOS, or Linux operating system. It has
been in constant use at many sites for over ten years.
If you like the free DOS version offered below, then you'll love
the more powerful Windows console app version 2.37. It supports reduced
execution times, packed-decimal field types, record areas up to 2 GB
(approximate value), additional verbs, enhancements, and several bug
fixes. The windows console app version is available on CD-ROM for $24.99
USD.
