Welcome To:
Alpha Five Version 9 
This new version of Alpha Five offers something for users of
every skill level. There are a lot of very exciting new features
in this release that make Alpha Five both easier to use and much
more powerful.
A signature feature of this release is 'active-link' tables,
which now allow you to build enterprise class applications
against SQL databases. This document describes all of the new
features in Version 9.
