BASIS offers three powerful, standalone tools to assist developers of the early BBx generations; GUIBuilder®, ResBuilder®, and DDBuilder®.

GUIBuilder - a complete visual programming environment that simplifies the creation of event-driven GUI programs for developers at any experience level.

ResBuilder - a Windows utility for designing the overall look of the program; build top-level forms, child windows, and menus.

DDBuilder - a Windows utility for creating and maintaining data dictionaries; a perfect companion for Visual PRO/5 and the BASIS ODBC Driver

With the introduction of the BASIS IDE, BASIS further enhanced these modules using the inherent flexibility and super-powered capabilities of Java. Today, the BASIS IDE integrates these turbo versions of GUIBuilder, ResBuilder, and DDBuilder as AppBuilder, FormBuilder, and the Data Dictionary module, respectively.
