CareerScope is a product we developed (and are still working on) for
the Vocational Research Institute in Philadelphia. CareerScope is a career
counseling system consisting of 12 Director movies and 1 Visual FoxPro
program (see Database Application Development
for more information).
The system takes the user through a series of vocational interest and
aptitude tests. All of the user information, test results, and calculations
are stored in a database using FileFlex & Lingo. The Visual FoxPro
part uses the database created by Director & FileFlex to write reports
and maintain the user data.
Version 2.0 for Windows was released in March 1998, with Version 2.0 for the Mac
scheduled for summer of 1998.

190 drug monographs (more than 3 MB of text), and the installer onto 1
floppy.
