?TINA? has been developed on a ? WINDOWS? platform and will operate on Windows 2000, NT and XP. The system allows the operator to use the ?Mouse? pad and/or the ?Up? and ?Down? arrow keys together with the ?Enter? key, whichever is more suitable to the operator.

?TINA? has been developed in DELPHI, a ?Rapid Application Development? programming tool for Windows. Delphi generates royalty-free, fast, efficient executables at no cost to the end user. Using the ?Borland Database Engine?, Delphi interacts directly with the ?Paradox Database? used in ?TINA?. However, any ODBC compliant Database can be used to interact with TINA e.g. Informix, Oracle, DBase?, Interbase, etc.

The Company has developed a comprehensive software package called ?TINA?, incorporating Central Merchandising System, Stores Operating System and Point-Of-Sale for the Cash & Carry and Retail trade in the ?FMCG? industry.

Comprehensive and Informative "Management Reports" are key to "TINA's" advantage over other products. Extensive deployment of "Drop-down" lists and "Pop-Up" menus makes "TINA" simple to operate and contribute to the accuracy and integrity of the Paradox Database.
