TGc: The
Missing Link
1. Do you need to make the most of every one of your
computing platforms, but find it impossible to make
Macintosh, Windows, or X-Windows networks compatible?
When TOADS was first designed in the early
1980's, character based terminals dominated the field as
THE choice for business computing solutions. Today, PCs,
Macs, and UNIX platforms provide the most common
computing solutions for businesses, and not all of these
platforms are truly compatible with each other. This
incompatibility often limits the choices available to a
business because choosing only one platform means having
to miss out on the advantages others offer.
TGc blends seamless integration with compatibility,
allowing businesses to decide for themselves again which
platform best meets their needs. TGc uses the strengths of the
system it is installed on to support the preferences of
the user instead of making the user learn another
interface design. Windows, Macintosh, and X-Windows can
all run TGc. You no longer need to buy different terminal
software packages, TGc provides a one-step
solution.
2. Do you demand the speed, ease-of-use, and
functionality of point-and-click graphical interfaces?
Point-and-click, pop-up menus, windows, and buttons have
become the buzzwords for new expectations of interface
technology. Keyboard intensive commands no longer appeal
to users. Instead, using a PC's mouse to click on a
desired portion of the screen or to enter data seems a
much more attractive option.
TGc is a true graphic user interface that is
easy to use, and powerfully functional. A convenient tool
bar makes it easy to move forward and backward through
pages, update, save information, and quit. Complete
access to on-line help is just a click away. And because
TGc draws on the client PC's processor and not
the server's, you can manipulate your data lightning
quick.
3. Does your server often
respond slowly because of heavy traffic?
TGc doesn't require your server to carry the
burden of your entire network. Instead of relying on the
server to carry-out commands and redraw screens, TGc
performs these tasks itself. Using a client PC's own
processor, TGc cuts down on server traffic and
considerably speeds up server response time.
4. What is TOADS?
TOADS stands alone as the only 4GL that provides truly
programming free solutions. With it, developers can
create incredibly sophisticated applications without
writing a single line of code. The latest release, TOADS
'97, still provides the fastest 4GL you can buy.
5. How is TGc
integrated with TOADS?
TGc enhances all of the innovative features
that make TOADS an award winning 4GL. TGc's
unique design encapsulates TOADS so that, no matter what
system it runs off of, TGc interacts with
TOADS transparently. This approach reduces conflicts and
takes pressure off the server as well as the network.
With TGc, TOADS responds faster and
productivity increases.
