Description: EDS is a cardindex-style database program, with graph plotting capabilities and simple statistics. The program aims to be extremely easy. Various data types are supported. The progam can plot pie and bar charts, frequency distributions, and scatter and line graphs. The program aims to be very straightforward to use and could be used in schools to introduce children to database applications. The program was originally conceived for this purpose and was written at the request of an IT teacher at my school, who was looking for (and unable to find) a simple and easy to use database program. The program includes interactive help and a hyper-text manual (!StrongHelp based).
