CBL - CBLi (product)

CBLi is the newly developed CBL Interactive environment that has been developed to compliment both CBLVCAT and SELCOPY by enveloping them in a more user friendly, interactive, GUI-like shell.
This new member of the CBL family of software has been introduced to enhance an already powerful duo in the field of data manipulation and data management.
CBLi is initially available as an integral part of the next release of CBLVCAT with SELCOPY integration to follow.
