While most programs available for herbal science are what
we call " Encyclopedic" in that they operate much like
a person using a book. You look up a particular topic and it displays
the information. Unfortunately, many topics involve not just one
but many aspects. For our examples we'll stick to herbal science.
Take a look at the topics and aspects listed below and try to
imagine the amount of time and effort it would take to locate
and compile the results using Books or "Encyclopedic" Programs;
Topic : Aspect
1. All Herbs that belong to the Rosaceae Plant Family.
2. All Herbs that demonstrate the medicinal property of being
an Expectorant.
3. All Herbal Recipes used for treating Inflamed Eyes.
4. All Herbs that contain the chemical Methyl Salicylate.
5. All Herbal Recipes that use the Herb Meadowsweet.
As you can see the above tasks would be no small undertaking!
A book is a good source to refer to however, it can be a time
consuming laborious undertaking. As we say... It's one thing to
have all the information at hand. It's another thing altogether
to be able to efficiently put it to work! This is where The Herbs
Project comes to the rescue!
The Herbs Project is a Windows Relational Object Database
Application designed for the study, evaluation and application
of herbal knowledge. The four main modules in this application
are Herbs.exe, Recipes.exe, MedProps.exe, and Qckrefs.exe.
The information base consists of three object databases, Herbs.odb,
Recipes.odb, and MedProps.odb:
This application is "Modular" in that the module for
Herbs data is a separate program from the module for Herbal
Recipes, which is separate from the MedicinalProperties
module, which is separate from the QuickReference
module. Each may be run individually and multiple instances are
allowed. All modules share access to the three object databases
employed (Herbs.odb, Recipes.odb, and MedProp.odb).
Being Modular The Herbs Project won't require the conventional
replacement of the entire application in order to expand, enhance,
add to or upgrade it. Other add-on modules available and currently
in the works are:
The Products DDE Module for relational referencing products that contain herbs.
Great for Medical, Herb Shop, and Home envoronments!
You may expect our selection of modules and database library to
grow and expand in the future thus allowing users to customize
and enhance their software to suite their specific needs without the need
to replace the main application.
We are always receiving requests for other add on features so
feel free to send your comments and suggestions to
support@timilen.com.
We always review and consider suggestions and comments from our
most valuable resource... you!
Notice!
This application has been designed for the home herbal enthusiast
and yet provides comprehensive references even a professional would
appreciate. It's purpose is to understand, identify, and apply
herbal knowledge. It is not intended to replace the care and guidance
of a personal physician. All users should consult their physician
concerning their condition and the use of herbal remedies.

Object Databases
The latest in computer language technology! Relational Object
Databases. we've taken it even one further step into Multiple-Relational
Object databases. The version 1.0 release comes with 250 herbs,
50 herbal recipes and over 100 medicinal properties. Of course
you are given access to adding your own. Each object database
has a limit of 5,000,000,000 records!
The Herbs Project is a collection of programs capable of working
together and sharing several object databases. It requires No
ODBC or Query writing or configuring. Being modular has many advantages.
Minimum memory usage, faster operation, less prone to errors,
"Stackable".. modules may be added, Multiple instances
are allowed, modules run on demand only, and more.
The HDD where this application is installed will require 6
megabytes of free memory for the initial installation. Obviously
if you plan on adding more data or additional modules the size
needed will increase as well.
The Herbs Project will run on any PC or compatible that is
running Windows 3.1 or better with Share.exe and enhanced mode
enabled. Our rule of thumb is that if your computer will run Windows
Multi-Media (Sound and Movies) then The Herbs Project will
run just fine!
Many developers and software users think that any version 1.0 software probably is not
bug free or has less to offer. Our philosophy is that good software stands the test of time and
use and is hence the true measure of a quality application. Version numbers are not indicative
of the quality of an application! Companies that release poorly written or buggy software
usually have a reputation as such.
Version one's history of The Herbs Project has incorporated 8 modifications to the
application without a single one being the fixing of any bugs! Our attention to detail and
error filtering has paid off in an application that to date has proven
itself bug free in all windows environments. As such, it has thankfully resulted in our efforts
being focused on refinements and improvements, not on bugs.
You can look forward to up and coming add on modules for botany, gardening, and
data-sharing.
