TABTALK -- The New Hypermedia Technology

TABTALK is both a new software technology and a new software product.

TABTALK the Technology

Use this patented hypertext technology in your software applications to give your users the ability to customize the individual use of their computer without affecting anyone else. They can link other data to files that you have developed and build their own enhancements without knowing any coding or 4GL products. Once the TABTALK technology is integrated into your applications, you can offer your users the ability to expand their environment without changing your code.

TabTalk gives your users .... to create INSTANT INTEGRATED WORK ENVIRONMENTS -- Without Programming!

TABTALK lets your user:

TABTALK gives your programmer:

A simple, easy way to implement HYPERTEXT tools that help them become more efficient. TABTALK can leave a trail of "Instant Links" through the maze of program code that any novice can follow. Designers are able to see and follow the structure they envisioned in programs. This approach creates a scaffolding that gives programmers new to the code a simple means of following logic chains -- the flow of control through programs and program mock ups -- LONG before the code is ready for single stepping via debuggers. By using the logical flow of control and associated design notes, programmers naturally remember associations via the true structure of the program rather than by incidental location of code fragments in printouts.

TABTALK's three key hypertext paradigm gives programmers a more powerful tool than text string searches or CTAG based search capabilities.

TABTALK lets you [pull up/access] specific procedures and their relatives faster than you can find a single procedure in a printout!

TABTALK's structural access technology encourages programmers to improve program structure, keep design notes up to date, and clear problem areas with structural improvements.

TABTALK lets anyone, even administrators, perform structured walk-throughs of the code as programming guru Ed Yourdon suggests.

TABTALK documents/records your developers and programmers structural thinking.

It will easily cut the time needed for a new programmer to become familiar with code in half! Think of how that will speed new code development, ease the support of existing code and simplify the re- engineering of older code.

The benefits of adding TABTALK are:

TABTALK the Product

TABTALK is a complete product for use in your PC to build your own knowledge base. It gives you all abilities that Power Users [have had in the past/learned] without having to learn any programming languages.

You gain control over all the data in your computer. You can, with single keystrokes, link together information screens up to 80 levels deep and access any of them.

Need a new file for more data? It creates one. Forget to save the data on a screen? It remembers. TABTALK remembers how you work and presents itself in your language. All of your personal notes are shown right on the screen.

NASA engineers found TABTALK eliminates the need to learn, remember, and retype dozens of commands found in thick computer manuals. TABTALK's three keys let them access and invoke all routine computer functions and commands. And unlike mouse and icon based systems, you do not need to know where to look on the screen. You don't even need to know what a command looks like!

TABTALK technology gives the first simple access to whatever your users need without having to know how to use a command line, or any other program language.

We all know how good power users are to our sales. They give our products a reputation for being the best. By incorporating TABTALK into your applications, you enable each of your users to become a power user. Each of your power users can easily share their expertise with others. This builds your reference base and your products reputation.

This is a product that will change your opinion of how quickly you, your administrator, and your staff can all become Power Users.
