stzUE · steezware UltraEdit Tool Kit · new version coming soon
A set of tools that provide rich support for editing ProvideX and PxPlus source code (text) programs and Nomads libraries using UltraEdit. The tools are based on those created by Sage Software for the development of its Windows version of MAS 90. Sage abandoned the tools in favor of the plug-in developed for the Eclipse IDE, but steezware has updated and added a great number of new features to the tools. stzUE is still in use by steezware and many Sage Master Developers.
stzUE v2020 is currently under development with release planned for late 2020.

stzHLP · steezware Help · user manual · download
Provides control-positioned Nomads-based help windows for ProvideX and PxPlus applications. Rather than a help panel being limited to display centered on the entire screen or relative to the location of a parent window, stzHLP automatically positions help windows relative to a specified control on the parent window.
One strenght of stzHLP is that its help panels are always positioned based on the parent window current size and location, so if the parent window is moved or resized stzHLP uses its current coordinates to reposition the help panels.
You can see stzHLP in action in the stzCMD and stzFM tools. Download and install either or both of those tools and click [Help] or [F1] to see help panels that are attached to their parent's size and screen location.
Note that stzHLP must be installed for stzCMD and stzFM to function correctly ( stzUE does not require stzHLP )

stzFM · steezware File Maintenance · download
A file maintenance tool used for viewing and editing Sage 100 data files. It only works on Sage 100 ProvideX files that are defined in the Pvx data dictionary - SQL tables cannot be viewed using stzFM. The tool was originally designed as a replacement for the DFDM utility, to provide a richer UI with enhanced lookup and filtering capabilities. This utility is still very much a work in process, but is mentioned here to elicit feedback and interest from the Sage 100 developer community. In fact, steezware would like to partner with a Sage 100 developer to assist with the completion of the utility and its distribution, if it is determined the product is viable to Sage 100 users.
