SPEEDQUERY
*************************************************************
 
 
SpeedQuery  was introduced about four years ago to provide query
and reporter facilities to work  on  Speedbase	databases.   Its
purpose  is  to  allow very simple applications to be written by
non programmers to operate on existing Speedbase databases.
 
A small number of SpeedQueries have been sold over the past four
years.
 
Most  users have found the query facilities to be usable but not
in accordance with industry standard query facilities  and  have
found  the  reporter  facilities of SpeedQueries to be no better
than those provided by Global Reporter.
 
We are reviewing the long term future  of  query  facilities  on
Speedbase  databases  running  in  C-ISAM  or  the or "Standard"
Speedbase format.
 
We have taken the decision to remove SpeedQuery from the list of
available  Global  modules  as	soon as is feasible.  Therefore,
this bulletin acts as notice that SpeedQuery will no  longer  be
available after 31st August 1992 and will no longer be supported
by TIS Software after 31st August 1994.
