Any info on the old radio software application Oasis or Oasys?

It was DOS and had a place where you could list the weather, PD memos, artist info, etc.

Thanks.
 
It was thebrainchild of a Susquehanna jock in Dallas if memory serves. Norm Philips might know how to get hold ofhim... It was basically a database that was searchable an dused radsio terminology fo rthe differnet files. Written in one of the common database programs of the day, maybe Dbase or one like it.
I'll ask a friend what he remembers about it. It worked well for what it did.
 
"Brain" is the right word to use.

Jim Tyler (Jim Radcliffe) was/is one half of the screamingly-funny radio cartoon site www.krud.com. Jim also wrote OASIS, the On Air Station Information System (sp?). Littlejohn described it correctly; I enjoyed it because it was simple (ran on any machine using simple keyboard commands), blindingly fast (OASIS on a then-modern CPU was a thing of joy to watch), and with a little work it could be networked so that information for multiple stations could be updated from a central location.

Sure, you can do a lot more now with just the simplest in-building web page / server, but for the machines & technology we had at the time it was cool. Props to Jim for a smart program!
