LIST OF CHANGES MADE IN VINO:FILE VERSION 2.15
----------------------------------------------
Solved the list corruption that led to the program hanging or garbage
being written to the screen after adding wines to the database.
Printing Cross Reference files did not work correctly with some printer
types.
Under some circumstances the wine record pointer was incorrectly
positioned after adding wines from the wine list screen.
Fixed problem which displayed garbage characters on screen after
deleting the last entry from the Cross Reference File.
Import and Export features added. Users can now write to or read from
flat-format files and swap data with other database systems.
Added Un-Drink and Un-Delete features for reversing the drink and delete
functions. Deleted wines can be restored in the same session.
New search facilities have been added to aid in selecting wines which are
in their optimum drinking period. A 'Year Search Type' field can be set to
'<' or '>' to list wines less than or greater than the search value. Special
search characters '*' (Ready) and '#' (Not Ready) are defined for the 'Year
Ready' and 'Drink By' fields.
Printed Reports. The IBM Proprinter family is now supported. The default
Report Header can be changed as part of the configuration. Printouts
can be cancelled by pressing Ctrl_C. A 'Report Summary' is printed after
each report showing the search criteria and statistics for that report.
Shell to DOS will now use XMS Extended Memory if EMS Expanded Memory is
not available for storing the program's state. Informational data is
also displayed showing where the state was stored, how much memory has
been freed and how to return to VINO:FILE. XMS (Extended) memory can now
be used to hold the swap data if EMS is not available.
The Memory Usage statistics have been expanded and moved to a separate
selection on the Summary Menu.
The Currency Symbol can now be up to 3 characters and the number of decimal
places in currency values can be set on the Change Configuration screen to
allow for foreign currencies.
The END key now selects the last entry in all lists.
An overlay file WINE.OVR is now part of the VINO:FILE package. Overlays
reduce the amount of memory needed for the program to run.
