A User Interface Control/Component by Vermont Creative Software

It's The Universal Solution
Vermont Views operates completely independently of hardware, operating system and database.

Any interface you create can be ported easily among all UNIX variations including POSIX and LINUX, VMS, and DOS and because the source code is 100% portable, your application can be maintained with one common set of source code. You can use Vermont Views with any database that has a C-language interface (including Oracle and Informix) and run it on any computer. You don't have to pay runtime fees or royalties. And full library source is available, too.

Save Time and Money
With Vermont Views, you create screens interactively. Designing is fast and creative. And changes - both tiny adjustments and huge reworks - are incredibly easy. Client changes can be made in minutes instead of days.

With most systems, you have to throw away your prototypes when coding begins. But with Vermont Views, prototypes become the actual applications! Menus, data-entry forms, and all screen features are usable in the final applications without change. So not only do you avoid creating code from scratch once, you don't have to do it twice! With Vermont Views you'll bring better applications to market faster and for less money.

Easy To Use
Our reputation was made on "quick and easy to use" tools. First, even though 630 functions may give you total flexibility, you may need only a handful. Second, the Designer generates source code that you can build your application around. Third, Vermont Views is very modular. No steep learning curves. You get started immediately, adding features as your familiarity grows. Finally, you'll find over 90 tutorials on how Vermont Views can be used as a template.

How We Simplify Interface Development

Extended Functionality
Vermont Views is designed as an elegant and sophisticated system that eliminates overhead and allows for extending functionality without modifying source code.

Modular Design
With many software packages, a simple application contains a lot of unnecessary overhead. Vermont Views is divided into a number of independent sub-systems, thus only requiring the inclusion of those modules in an application.

Multiple Libraries
Overhead is also limited by providing two sets of libraries to link to an application. The development library has extensive error checking to catch common mistakes during development. When the application is ready to be released, a production library, which is much smaller and faster, can be used.

Complete Flexibility With Code Insertion
Another area where we take pride is the number of places we have to hook code into our system. We provide over fifteen different places where C functions can be inserted. An example of this insertion capability can be seen upon entering or exiting fields, forms, or scrollable regions, resulting in complete flexibility without ever having to change our source code.

Debugging System
We have incorporated a comprehensive debugging system to enable users to find their programming errors. When a programming mistake is made, an error reporting system displays an error message and a historical log of the functions that executed successfully, as well as a "call stack" indicating which functions were called to get to the programming error. This debugging system can catch many memory overwrite errors as well as simple errors in programming logic.

Unmodified Interfaces Regardless Of System
Forms and menus are stored in the Designer libraries. We automatically take into account differences in integer sizes and byte alignment. All you need to do is move your code to a new system, recompile and link, and your port is done!

Porting To International Markets
In today's marketplace the international barriers are crumbling and applications must be capable of adaptation. Vermont Views can easily handle this by providing complete 8-bit National Language Support with automatic case conversion. Date, time and currency formats are easily changed for European styles. All messages displayed by Vermont Views are isolated and can easily be changed from English to any other language.
