..............................................................................
VERSION 3.03 September 4, 1994
..............................................................................
Added an option to print full information, including notes,
for all records, or a range of records.
Added another option for duplicate checking in Setup Menu to
allow checking for duplicate name OR company. Also changed
duplicate message to show you the name/company of the
record already in your files.
Added destination options to printing: LPT1, LPT2, LPT3,
print to a file, capture to Novell Network.
NOTE: See note in PHONE.DOC about SET NAME environment variable
Speeded up indexing, and added a status bar when creating an index
for printing.
Added ability to export your records in delimited format.
Added a Caps Lock choice in Setup Menu.
When copying a record using Shift-F8, it no longer copies notes
from original record. Notes field is blank in new record.
..............................................................................
VERSION 3.02 December 19, 1993
..............................................................................
New Set-up option allows user to decide how PHONE will check for
duplicate records when entering a new record.

..............................................................................
Can now add a new record while editing full file by pressing ALT-A.
Can copy an existing record to a new record by pressing SHIFT-F8
while editing full file. Very handy when you want to enter the
same record twice, with only minor changes, such as the same
company with a different person. Note: this also copies the notes
from old record, so be sure to edit them if necesary.
Now turns ON caps lock when in program, except turns it OFF when
entering a note. You can still change by pressing caps lock.
Vision Computing now accepts Visa/Master Card for registration.
..............................................................................
VERSION 3.01 January 4, 1993
..............................................................................
Added a local area code option to the modem set-up. This prevents
PHONE from adding "1" and the area code when dialing a local number.
Now allows you to choose drive A: or B: to back up your files to.
Allow user to move a column left & lock it on screen while
editing in full file mode, by pressing ALT-L.
Now allows user to search for Company, Name, Label Code, Zip Code,
or Text Search when editing in full file mode.
Text Search will find text, regardless of case, anywhere in
any of the fields of your current Database File. For example,
if you search for "abc", it will find "THE ABCO COMPANY".
..............................................................................
VERSION 3.0 - Rev a4 September 21, 1992
..............................................................................
Changed the way deleted records are handled when exporting
and importing records, which would previously cause a problem
with number of records not matching. Deleted records are now
included. You can remove deleted records and reindex before
exporting records if you don't want any deleted records included.
..............................................................................
VERSION 3.0 August 29, 1992
..............................................................................
Added phone dialing. Can use from display menus or full
file edit menu. (Next version will include modem
telecommunications, such as file transfers. Registered users
of this version will be given an update to the next version
at no charge, except shipping.)
Now allows creating and loading different database files.
Once created, an alternate database file can be loaded
from the Set-up menu, or from the command line.
( example - start PHONE like this: PHONE MYDBNAME )

can use to correct address and zip codes, then import
corrected file back to your PHONE database.
Changed add and edit options so that if only one address
line is filled in, it will be stored in the second field,
regardless of where it was entered. Only the second address
field is exported to a file for Post Office updating.
Added an option to disable any changes to your PHONE
database file. Used mostly so no one will add/change/
delete any records while the file is at the Post Office
getting updated, while still allowing display/printing,
etc. A user password is necessary to enable/disable changes.
Changed reindex option in the Utility menu to allow the
choice of reindexing only, which is quicker, or removing
deleted records and then reindexing. Removing deleted
records can't be done if changes are disabled.

Changed printer error function to show status (off line,
out of paper, etc.) not just "not ready" as before.

zip code entry to either all digits, or allowing characters.

the new set up menu.

new records. When printing labels, you are given a
choice of printing country or not.
Added validation when entering in the state field.
You will be advised if your data isn't a valid USA
state, and given a choice to change it, or leave as is.
Except if you leave the state field empty, and your zip
field is set up to except any character, no warning will
be given.
Put the manual (PHONE.DOC) and the printer codes file
(PCODES.DBF) in a self extracting file (PFILES.EXE)
so that all files will still fit on a 360K disk.
