Columbia, MO — FairCom(r) Corporation announced the latest release of
c-tree Plus(r) v6.7A file handler and the FairCom Server for the Macintosh,
including support for System 7.X and Mac O/S 8.X for both Native PowerPC
and 68K. This new release of FairCom’s C ISAM database API offers an
enhanced variable length API resulting in easier and faster variable length
record operations and conditional index support, which provides a means to
define complex expressions and use them to filter the entries within an
index. Other major features of this release include a transaction history
function, which makes it possible to access the audit logs of transaction
controlled files. “The new FairCom Server improves networked throughput
dramatically, with benchmarked increases of near 600%.” said Don Nelson,
Macintosh General Manager at Great Plains Software. “We feel the
performance gains provided with this Macintosh version of the FairCom
Server provide the fastest Macintosh accounting solutions in the
marketplace.”

The new release of c-tree Plus also provides conditional index support,
which allows indices to be defined at the data content level rather than at
just the field level. Dynamic index (select/omit) filtering can be
performed on c-tree Plus index files by using a powerful expression
parser/analyzer. Complex expressions are defined and evaluated at run time
to control index entries, resulting in smaller, highly efficient indices
groomed to a developer’s precise needs. The conditional index support is
available in all seven c-tree Plus operational modes.

The transaction history function allows for the accessing of the audit logs
of transaction controlled files. This enables the programmer to scrutinize
the changes performed on each unit of information at a very detailed level.
One such use of this technology has been to track the changes made to a
manufactured device as it proceeds through an automated fabrication
factory. The exact individual history of each manufactured device can be
determined from the transaction log files.

Additional features of version 6.7 of c-tree Plus include: ISAM access
enhancements, batch performance, system configuration function and
transaction processing enhancements; new extended performance monitor; and
file path control.

FairCom created Access Manager for Digital Research in 1979 and released
its first true application development tool, the original c-tree file
handler, that same year. Today c-tree Plus is running in over 100 CPU/OS
environments in more than 98 countries worldwide. FairCom Macintosh
implementations are utilized by such noted organizations as: McGraw-Hill,
Follett Software Company, Great Plains Software and Phone Directories.
Corporations like Computer Associates and Sharp Corporation have embedded
FairCom’s c-tree Plus within vertical market products and licensed its
Server technology for OEM uses

c-tree Plus V6.7A is priced at $895 with full C source code, no royalties,
26+ free development Servers. This price includes full source for all 26
