Created for students looking at computers in the corporate world for the first time, Hayen's volume provides a broad overview of the utility of DOS, Lotus 1-2-3, dBase, and WordPerfect. Hayen's approach is to set up problems and demonstrate their solution with a little keyboard work. The dBase section, for example, looks at a payroll database for a ficticious company. Questions are asked that can be answered only with well-constructed uses of dBase or 1-2-3. The final section integrates all of the previous efforts, showing how to use dBase, 1-2-3, and WordPerfect together. Anyone working routinely with Lotus 1-2-3, dBase, and WordPerfect would benefit from these thoughtful exercises.
