ROLADEX 2.0 09/02/1993 This is the newest version of my networkable roladex program. I've fixed a bug and added an 'abort' to the 'name list' button because this process could get lengthy when you start to accumulate lots of records. The program is pretty self explanatory, but I should point out a few things. 1) INSTALLATION To install ROLADEX, simply copy the EXE file onto each computer that will be using it. YOU MUST HAVE A COPY OF THE .EXE FILE RUNNING ON EACH WORKSTATION THAT IS USING ROLADEX ON THE NETWORK. 2) DATA PATH The first time you start ROLADEX, you will get prompted for the DATA PATH. This is simply where ROLADEX will look for the data files. This should be a sub-directory on a server's hard disk. For example, if your server is your drive E: then create a subdirectory like E:\ROLADEX and then each user will specify E:\ROLADEX\ as their data path. Everyone will have a copy of the .exe file, and share one common data file on server E:. 3) SINGLE USER Roladex may also be used by a single user. Simply make a directory on you hard disk the data path. For example : C:\ROLADEX\ 4) SHARE As on many networks, the dos SHARE program MUST be loaded in order for ROLADEX to work correctly. 5) EUTIL EUTIL is a database utility for manipulating data files created by ROLADEX. I should note that the ISAM routines used in ROLADEX are from EllTech Development, and are great! EUTIL is their program and is distributed with permission. If you are a BASIC programmer and want all kinds of great assembly and database libraries, call EllTech at 404-928-8960.
