Switching between a window and full screen graphics is instantaneous. Framework VII runs on Pentium II, Pentium III, and compatible computers with no speed limit. Inc. Framework VII maintains file format, macro, library and FRED syntax back compatibility with all previous versions of Framework. Files created with older versions can be transparently loaded into newer versions. In a mixed environment, say, of a palmtop machine running Framework IV or Framework V LX, exchanging files with a Windows machine running Framework VII, the older version can load the newer version files, ignoring, and at the same time preserving newer version's attributes such as colors and proportional fonts.
Framework is available in a number of languages with multiple dictionaries and thesauruses.
Framework uses a single-type memory object across all applications allowing transparent exchange and linking across spreadsheets, databases, word documents and programs. The same user interface, is used in Word-processing, Spreadsheets, Databases, Telecommunication, Outlining, and Application Programming. Framework V and Framework VII Hypertext engine transparently displays and creates links. It includes the FRED language on-disk manuals. FRED is a text-aware rapid development interpreter programming language which stays constantly active while Framework is running.
