We're still beta testing M3-lite. Feel free to download the latest release and try it out. Our M3 Support Deskis for questions, comments, and bug alerts.
We added the M3 Lite Discussion Group to our web site which we hope will be useful to our M3-Lite users. We find that some users are more than happy to share their knowledge and experiences and that often they do that better than we do. At the same time this will free us up to get other things done.
M3-Lite is a fully functional database server. It runs on Window 95, 98, NT and 2000. A system window provides a control panel for monitoring all M3-Lite operations as well as to help launch browser sessions, terminal sessions and GUI applications.
Startup options allow the system console to be invisible, minimized,
non-existent or be placed on the system tray.
M3-Lite Terminal Window
M3-Lite comes with a built in terminal window for legacy software and terminal based system control. Full screen routine and global editors provides the programmer with full access to all 63 namespaces.
Although there is no limit on the number of windows that can be opened on a given desktop, the 240 job limit will restrict the number of active sessions to 240.
The terminal window emulates a VT220/VT420 and provides font and color
control. The function keys are functional and are mapped
to provide full VT220 emulation.
M3 Control In A Browser
M3-Lite also supports a browser based control panel. This along with the internal web server and internet support should make M3-Lite a favorite for those who want to connect their
databases to the net.
