One of the biggest deficiencies in today's existing computer systems is the lack of up to date concise documentation, especially, of procedures, interactions with database tables, and external files.  RealTime has been developed to solve this deficiency.

RealTime is a Progress® tool that provides you with a simple and complete way to document your programs indicating all the cross-references between procedures, tables, include files, etc. Allows documentation of multiple systems and versions giving total flexibility to document several applications simultaneously.

RealTime is not just a compile cross-reference; it actually analyses procedures and database schema providing a complete set of documentation of your application.
