have added a beginner's section to the Aug dates and my boss is considering
sending me. filePro is the database we use in our office for which I began
working in Feb 2006...so I am a user, not a programmer. I would be interested in
feedback about how useful these sessions would be for me. In
particular...will it teach me how to make sense of the current database
processing? Will I come away being able to make effective changes
immediately? Or, will it be way over my head?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=343140416-14072006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Some
background: Our filePro database was designed for us in 1989 by Bud
Henschen. Since then it has had minor changes and is stable. There
are things that I might be able to change to make it more useful but for
the most part it does everything we need it to do. We have updated to a
copy of filePro copyright 1998 and it runs on a SCO Version 5.0.5. We run
Multiview 2000 to allow pc user access. I took a Fortran and a Cobol class
in college during the mid 1980's (don't remember details but enjoyed the classes
and got A's.) I took a Unix class this past spring. Other than that
I have only been a computer user.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=343140416-14072006><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Also,
I'm having a hard time understanding the relationship between filePro and
Unix...I've seen in the postings tips to use Unix commands in the programming
and don't understand the connection. *Really* sorry if this is
obtuse.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
