VP Info is a database application for the personal computer . Origin In the early 80s, David Clark met Dr. George Gratzer, a mathematics professor at the University of Manitoba, at ComputerLand in Winnipeg where Dr Gratzer was looking for someone who could program in dBase. Mr Clark had been using dBase II in his consulting practice, but was frustrated by its limitations for reporting on more than 3 tables at a time. While working for Standard Knitting a client of Dr. Gratzer s and Mr Clark s , David undertook to write a report generator that would allow up to six related data files to be in use at one time and run faster than the slow, dBase II . Finding the task required creation of a compiler, an expression evaluator and the ability to read and create indices, David soon realized that they had most of what they needed to create an independent language. The year 1985 saw the first appearance of the language, dComp standing for compiled dBase , and Sid Bursten s joining their new company, Sub Rosa Inc., as vice president of marketing. The language was renamed Max , new manuals were written by Dr. Gratzer and printed, and an ad campaign started. Through their partnership in Sub Rosa, David designed and wrote the program while Dr Gratzer wrote the Reference and Tutorial Manuals. For programmers, VP Info had several interesting capabilities, including the ability to change field names easily, to represent fields in array form, and to set individual bits within strings which enabled the use of bitmaps to represent very large numbers of logical variables . Marketing Shortly thereafter, Paperback Software International Ltd. , a publishing firm headed by Adam Osborne of Osborne Books and Osborne Computer Corporation fame, acquired worldwide marketing rights to Max and launched it as VP Info in 1986. VP Info hit the market with a splash, steadily rising to the Top Five among best selling business titles in the U.S. software market selling in excess of 30,000 copies worldwi ... more details
