And you can start with the basic Arity Interpreter (I think as
cheap as turbo) and add other things in the ARITY package
if/when you need them: 
         Interpreter/Compiler
         Screen Design Predicates
         File Transfer Package
         SQL (Structured Query Language)
         Expert Systems Development Pkg

I have found particularly that SQL and Screen Design
Predicates make data base applications a snap.
