# IFE Data_base Review

To begin with, this program requires ToolKit II to be present.

The first thing I found when I loaded QED (the editor), according to the voluminous notes (exec_w flp1_QED, flpi_IFEdata_exe) which accompany the program, was that the screen display did not come on. Sure, I got the cursor on screen, but no menu or writing: of any kind. And when a key was pressed the cursor moved and having moved, moved on – and not a whit of what was writ remained.
