Revelation Software offers a full suite of development tools for standalone PC's, Networked applications, web-enabled systems, and even DOS-based systems. Below are brief descriptions of our products and a link to more detailed information.


OpenInsight is a repository-based applications development environment that enables development teams to work collaboratively to design, develop, deploy and scale high-performance business solutions. OpenInsight's complete tool set (including a Form Designer, Editor/Debugger, UI Workspace, XML Workspace and more), advanced BASIC+ scripting language and powerful client/server development combine to deliver a complete environment for deploying and evolving network applications. OpenInsight is delivered with a flexible MultiValued, variable length, filing system, or has the ability to use SQL Server, Oracle, Lotus Notes, Universe/UniData, or any ODBC compliant data back-end. Delivered with both XML and Web-enabled tools, OpenInsight is a tremendously powerful development tool for Windows and Linux-based applications.

Included in OpenInsight release 7.2 and above is the Character to OpenInsight (CTO) interface. This is a tool to allow green screen multi-value applications run in OpenInsight with a full GUI interface.

Arev32 is included in release 8.0 and above of OpenInsight. It is a way to allow users and developers to run and create Advanced Revelation applications in a console application powered by OpenInsight.

WebOI is an award winning Web enablement and development toolkit for OpenInsight release 9.0 and above. WebOI Web Ready interrogates existing OpenInsight data and ties it to the web. Existing OpenInsight Forms and Popups can be ported quickly and easily to the Web, and existing subroutines and functions can be integrated to apply business logic, allowing for maximum re-use and integration with minimum effort and cost.

OpenInsight for U2 is a repository-based applications development environment that enables development teams to work collaboratively to design, develop, deploy and scale high-performance business solutions. OpenInsight's complete tool set (including a Form Designer, Editor/Debugger, UI Workspace, XML Workspace and more), advanced BASIC+ scripting language and powerful client/server development combine to deliver a complete environment for deploying and evolving network applications. OpenInsight for U2 is delivered with UniData or UniVerse (U2), IBM’s MultiValue™ data servers. The U2 data servers offer high performance, scalable information management environments for embedding in superior solutions. The MultiValue (or extended relational) model — which supports nested tables — eliminates data redundancies and optimizes performance. The U2 optimized tool suite, integrated development environment and virtual machine runtime provide fast prototyping, dynamic customization and open and portable systems.

The Revelation ODBC Driver allows other ODBC compliant applications, such as Crystal Reports and Microsoft Access, to read OpenInsight's MultiValue Linear Hash data. The installation provides a fixed number of ODBC connections to the OpenInsight Database at any point in time. The driver needs to be installed on the workstations that will be accessing your OpenInsight databases using the ODBC-compliant database. The Revelation ODBC Driver is for OpenInsight 7.1 and above.



JOI, or Java for OpenInsight is an integrated environment for managing the entire lifecycle of Java component-based enterprise applications. It provides a single center and integrated toolset for automating the design, development, assembly, deployment, customization, extension, and maintenance of Java component-based enterprise applications, tailored to the specific needs of the Revelation developer. It is a set of components that can be snapped in to your Java IDE of choice.


The Revelation Network Products Suite for advanced network performance and integrity-enhancing capabilities is the latest innovation from Revelation for OpenInsight and Advanced Revelation deployed applications. Each network product (The Universal Driver Heavy, the Universal Driver, the Universal Driver Lite, the Revelation NLM, Revelation Windows 2000 Service - formerly called the NT Service - or the Network Performance Pack) is designed to easily and economically deliver performance and integrity to your business applications without any change to the underlying structure.


Advanced Revelation is an award-winning DOS development environment that is distinguished by unrivaled flexibility in application development and robust, multi-user data access. Thousands of advanced line-of-business applications have been developed, and remain deployed today. They serve as a testament to the enduring quality of the tool and the designers of the applications.
