Helix RADE (Rapid Application Development Environment) enables the creation, deployment and maintenance of customized solutions to information management problems on the Macintosh platform, via a proprietary graphical development environment that does not require traditional programming skills.
Helix RADE, the development tool, gives the user complete capability to develop applications that can range from a simple, single user, to a complex, multi-user.
You can run applications developed with Helix RADE in single user mode without any additional software, and they can be deployed in client/server mode without modification.Since Helix single user system contains the complete development environment, the initial cost for production software can be very low.
Should the business or application requirement grow, the application can be deployed into the client/server environment by merely purchasing the server and appropriate number of client licenses.
Helix RADE 6.1 Classic is a feature release, primarily focused on Design Mode changes that complement the Mac OS X Helix products. There are a few new features, some specification changes, and a number of bug fixes. Helix RADE 6.1 is still a Classic application, but the new features and changes make working on collections (whether for use with the Mac OS X native Helix products or not) a more productive experience.
Requirements:
· Helix RADE only works in Classic mode.
What`s New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Entering a single word (with no word separators) longer than 255 characters would cause Helix to crash. This has been fixed.
· Deleting a record containing an index entry longer than 255 characters could cause Helix to crash. This has been fixed.
· After selecting some records on a selectable list and opening the attached entry view, deleting a record should result in the next record (in the selection order) being shown. Instead the view was skipping over one and showing the next one beyond that. Continuing to delete repeats the pattern, deleting every other record. Eventually the entry view shows a clear form, but only every other record has been deleted.
· This is a very old Helix bug, which is finally fixed. Helix now correctly shows the next record after one has been deleted.
