IPMR Version 2.1 Functional Enhancements


Home


IPMR version 2.1 is based on a 32-bit version of Access which exploits Windows 95 and NT and later versions providing enhanced performance for large databases although it requires a faster PC with more memory than version 1.10 (300MHz and 64MB RAM recommended).
It has a number of new functions beyond those provided by IPMR v2.0.  All new function developed for IPMR will be for this version. Win-Ring has been developed to run with IPMR v2
