New API's (Application Programming Interface)

  • Personator API ... splits names, street address, and of course genderises names and creates salutations.

  • RightFielder API ... correctly fields mailing lists and mixed company name/individual fields. 

  • StyleList API ... performs elegant upper/lower casing and controls abbreviations and punctuation.

  • DoubleTake API.... prevent duplicate data entry


What are API's?

These new programming libraries use the same tried and true engines as the superb veteran programs customers have enjoyed for many years. And they offer the complete range of capabilities. For example, the Personator API can do advanced processing like splitting a field holding the names of two people just like the full program.

Our sleek 32-bit DLL's operate in real time inside your database or customer's program – processing one record at a time at blazing speed.

Typical uses ...

  • Real-time processing during data entry.

  • Processing files with custom file structures (i.e., files that cannot be exported into a format that the regular Personator, Right Fielder, StyleList and DoubleTake can use).

  • Providing processing for a custom written application seamlessly (i.e., without shelling to another application).


For programmers, they're E-A-S-Y ...

To prove it, here's how Visual Basic would call StyleList API:

Sub Main() 
  Dim OutTxt As String 
  Dim hCaser As Long 

  BSLRegister("DEMO") 

  hCaser=BCaserInitializeEx(10,1,2,1,1,80,"","",0,0) 

  OutTxt=Space(256) 
  Call BCase(hCaser,"123 MAIN ST",OutTxt) 
  Out=Left(OutTxt,InStr(1,OutTxt,Chr(0))-1) 

  Call BCaserClose(hCaser) 
End Sub 

Because only ASCII strings are passed, any programming language which can call a DLL will work. It doesn't matter if the user's files are SQL, Access, dBASE, or deSuper deDuper -- all the file handling is done by your program, so it's all very straight-forward. And there's no need for any of the "Tools" in our older programs.

Sample programs for Borland C++, Visual C++, Visual FoxPro, and Visual Basic are also included.
