This newly reorganized BASIS Online Help System contains the complete text for BBj®, the newest generation of BBx®, as well as the electronic version of the PRO/5® and Visual PRO/5® manual set.

Licensing Information

BBj, PRO/5, Visual PRO/5, PRO/5 Data Server® revision 2.10 and higher use FLEXlm/FLEXNET licensing software from Flexera Software (www.flexerasoftware.com), formerly Acresso. The BASIS Web site contains fully searchable Adobe Acrobat versions of current and earlier versions of the FLEX manuals.

Organization

Topics are categorized in the new table of contents by BASIS technology component as follows:

System Administration	Installation, licensing, configuring, Enterprise Manager, invoking/running BBj, etc.
Language	Fundamentals, converting to BBj, mnemonics, commands, BBj object syntax and API, etc.
Development Tools	Barista, BASIS IDE, DD/GUI/ResBuilder, BBj resource file changes, etc.
BASIS DBMS and RDBMS	File types and systems, Data Server, SQL, etc.
Application Building Blocks	BASIS Utilities

For those preferring the previous structure, BBj topics also appear in the familiar BBj-specific Documentation book. For the original documentation for the BBx family of products, PRO/5 and Visual PRO/5, go to the book titled PRO/5 and Visual PRO/5 Manual Set.
