This program has been in my collection for many years (decades actually), however, without a manual it was virtually impossible to use. One has finally been located, though quality is not great, which makes for essential reading. The disk imaged 100% error free and is a bootable standard Microbee 3.5" single sided disk.
This is Condor Series 20/rDBMS version 2.09 AL01 produced by Condor Computer Corporation in 1982. It was also known simply as Condor Jr. When the programs is first run, type in DATE and enter todays date in mm/dd/yy format. Then type TERM LEAR as this sets up the Terminal as a Lear-Seigler, compatible with the Microbee. Upper or Lowercase can be used. Then read the Manual from Page 18 on a "warm up exercise".
CONDOR SERIES 20/DBMS is a data management system that simplifies information processing for inventory control, accounting functions, personnel reporting and many other applications. It uses the relational data base concept. Once the data is organized, simple command procedures allow unrelated information to become dynamically related; a property of a relational data base system.
The manual is designed especially for first-time users of small computer systems. By following step-by-step procedures outlined in this manual, users can develop CONDOR SERIES 20/DBMS data base management applications using an English-like command language without assistance from a programmer. The chapters in this manual use application examples to illustrate the features of CONDOR SERIES 20/DBMS commands. Before you begin, it is necessary to become familiar with CONDOR SERIES 20/DBMS command line syntax and other operating features which provide essential background in systems development.
So in the MbeeTech repository in the Microbee/Software/Applications folder we placed
condor_20_ss80.dsk
condor_20_users_manual.pdf <-- in Documentation/Manuals/Software folder
