A database program originally introduced in 1982 for DOS, initially a flat-file database that was marketed as an easy-to-use budget alternative to relational systems, but with the advent of the relational Alpha Four in 1986 the marketing started leaning towards describing the system as an easy-to-use menu-driven alternative to difficult to learn programmable relational databases The company continued to sell Alpha Four alongside the flat-file Alpha three for some time after the introduction of Alpha Four.
