Choose from over 40 terminal emulation's, which offer color capabilities, virtual windowing, and graphic file support. You can even create your own custom terminal type.

File Transfer

Transfer data from your existing database into DBF, WKS, XLS, and other popular PC file formats. Also transfer data host-to-host or PC-to-PC. MVExplorer now makes file transfer even easier.

Improved Performance
Systems resource requirements are greatly reduced. This allows you to run ViaDuct and other applications with no impact on work station performance. Already providing the fastest host to PC file transfer available, ViaDuct improves PC to Host file transfer speeds by a factor of up to 10.

MVExplorer
ViaDuct 's Win 95 Explorer-like interface allows users to drag and drop files and items from a MultiValue account into the Windows environment. Menus allow the creation of files and items on the host system, the manipulation of host system items and files, and, using ViaDuct 's file transfer mechanism,
the movement of files between the host system and PC, while converting the data into friendly formats for target applications on the PC.

MVEdit
ViaDuct includes MVEdit, a Windows editor for host items, including normal data items, dictionary definitions and MultiValued items. Its MultiValue-aware grid lets the user visually display and edit common MultiValue items. MVEdit also assists in the development of Data/Basic programs with its syntax completion feature.

Pre Registered
New load and go registration - The product is pre-registered and does not require additional contact with Via Systems.

Active Screen Technology
The ViaDuct host screen, by default, can identify a user's mouse clicks, and act on them appropriately. Click on a menu number, and that response will be sent to the waiting host program. Click on a web address, and your web browser will be opened to that site. In addition, Active Screen Technology is completely programmable from within the MultiValue environment, allowing developers to include "hot spots" that activate other Windows programs, send specific instructions to the host environment, or run any of ViaDucts control language functions. Once the Active Screen definitions have been sent to ViaDuct, they can be programmatically saved and recalled during another ViaDuct session, or used all across your ViaDuct network.

TCL Wizard
The TCL Wizard is designed to provide easier data access, and point-and-click Windows integration with your multivalue data. Answer a few, non-technical questions, and the TCL Wizard will display and print reports, transfer data, or build graphs and charts. Your queries can be saved and re-executed, or modified, at any time. The full power of your MultiValue hosts inquiry language is available through the TCL Wizard, but its questions are so carefully tailored, and clearly explained, that even a novice user can quickly produce results.

FTP Support
A blazingly fast, industry-standard communication method, FTP is used to
transfer data to and from Unix or Windows/NT hosts.

New User Interface
The interface now includes a convenient toolbar which offers one button
access to commonly used functions such as file transfer, Connection Wizard, MVExplorer, Capture, the Via web site, and more.

Visual Data/Basic and Auto GUI
ViaDuct's Visual Data/Basic programming language has been a successful tool for countless developers, but ViaDuct makes using it even simpler. Use the AutoGUI Graphical Wizard to convert Data/Basic programs into simple Visual Data/Basic programs. Or, for finer control of your user interface, run the AutoGUI converter in "Interactive" mode, and generate a custom graphical program from your existing Data/Basic routines.

Enhanced mvExplorer and mvEdit
The industry's premier Windows support tools have gotten even more powerful! mvExplorer now allows you to search through your data files for desired search strings, just like the regular Windows Explorer "Find" mechanism. mvEdit now supports context-sensitive help for the documents you're editing, so you can press the help key during program development for on-line syntax information on ViaDuct's control language and Visual Data/Basic extensions.
