DERT is a Data Entry and Reporting Tool.
DERT is free software : it is covered by the GNU Library General Public License, see the file COPYING.LIB .
DERT is available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/dert .
DERT is meant to be a flexible tool to create databases, enter data in them, and write and run reports based on these databases. Examples of commercial tools that have similar goals include the Dbase family and Microsoft Access.
DERT doesn't aim to replicate existing technologies. Existing libraries to read and write databases (or database files) will be used.
Initial idea is to use the following backends :
- MySQL client library
- XBase (http://sourceforge.net/projects/xdb)
- mdbtools (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mdbtools)
As I am one of the LessTif core developers, you'll understand that I use LessTif for creating the user interface.
Shameless plug : LessTif is that Widget Set which was around a couple of years before Gtk even existed. It's also that widget set with an industry standard API.
Mailing lists : there are a couple of mailing lists about dert. * dert-discuss is a general mailing list for questions and discussion * dert-announce contains only announcements
Subscribe to them by sending a message to
dert-discuss-subscribe@lists.sourceforge.net ??????????
Manipulating your mailing list subscription, and requesting information on how to subscribe to the mailing lists, can be done by sending a message to
dert-discuss-request@lists.sourceforge.net containing the word
help
in the body of the message.
