"Smart Office Software" separated the DBMS, View, and the process using modular design linked into a relocatable executable. The DBMS was a dBase data structure written in C. The application process was written in COBOL and the View was C and COBOL. The design was entered into a rapid development tool that wrote COBOL. The development environment was REXX and Kedit that allowed modification of anything through their interplay with the OS and personality/drive tables.
The competition was writing dBase applications compiled with Foxpro. Smart Office Software executed about ten times faster and was developed in about one twentieth of the time required by the competition. The development process was iterative to allow ownership by the client.
