The main screen contains the folowing four objects:
1) A Wine Label on the left containing information that you would find on a wine label (name, vintage, producer, area etc)
2) A Collection Card on the right containing information about your wine collection (amount, purchace information, location etc)
3) A window containing the first three lines of your Notes. You can access the entire text by tapping in the window or by pressing Ctrl-N.
4) A Find Field is placeed in the bottom right corner for performing searches in the Wine Collection.
There is also access to:
5) You can open the Summary Information window by pressing Ctrl-S.
6) You can access the Define Where Clause window by pressing Ctrl-W.
7) An Area Rating is always automatically looked up.
Each of these objects are described in detail in the following sections.
Createing and Deleting Wines
You can create new entries directly from the main screen by pressing Ctrl-Shift-N.
When creating a new entry you will be asked if you want the information on the current wine to be copied to the new entry. This will over rule the default values specified in section 3 and 4.
You can delete the current wine directly from the main screen by pressing Ctrl-Shift-D or just pressing the Del key.
The Wine Label is the left part of the screen framed like a label.
By pressing Ctrl-L, Space or tapping on the label you open the Wine Label window.
Here you can maintain information that you would usually find on a wine label:
Name.
Vintage (default value: current year minus 3, if the wine has no vintage leave this field empty - the program will put "NV" on the label).
Producer.
Classification (1. cru, reserva etc).
Area (write all relevant areas from the most specific to the name of the country, ex: "Saint-Julien, Haut-Medoc, Bordeaux, France", this will match searches on all specified areas).
Quantity (in ml, default value 750).
Alcohol % (default value 12).
Wine Type (Wine types are stored separately letting you define short codes for each wine type to facilitate your searches on wine types. Ex: "RTW, Red Table Wine", this code will let you search for red table wines using the search criteria "RTW").
Read more about Wine Types in section 7.
The Collection Card is placed on the right side of the screen.
You can access the Collection Card window by tapping anywhere on the Collection Card or by pressing Ctrl-C or Enter.
There is one Collection Card for each Wine Lable. The Collection Card contains information about you private wine collection:
Amount (the number of bottles of the related label, default value 1 bottle).
My Price (the price you have paid for the wine. If you buy more bottles at different prices you will have to specify an average price as it will be impossible to distinguish the bottles on the shelf).
Ordinary Price (the current market price of the wine).
Purchased From.
Purchase Date date of purchase (default value current date, so you should register your wine right there in the shop when you buy it :-)).
Ready Year (specification of when you think the wine will be ready to drink).
Rating (your own short rating of the wine, ex: "16/20", "87/100", "Very Good" etc. Details about the rating should be specified in the Tasting Note Book).
Location (this field should contain a shelf specification or some other way of indicating where to find the wine).
Three lines of the Tasting Note Book can be seen from the main screen (left bottom).
You can activate the Tasting Notes Book page related to the current wine by pressing Ctrl-E.
Here you can type in narrative notes on the related wines. When did you drink it? What have you heard about it? What did you eat with it? Who did you drink it with? What do you think about the color? Sent? Taste?
You can simply browse around your wine collection using the left (previous), right (next), home (first) and end (last) buttons. You can also use the List View (Shift-Ctrl-L) to browse through your titles. More advanced browsing can be done using the Find Field and Define Where Clause. You can also get Summary Information on your wine collection.
Find Field
The Find Field is found on the bottom right corner of the screen.
You can activate the Find Field by pressing Ctrl-F.
When activated the Find Field lets you type in a search criteria. Submit the search criteria by pressing Enter and the main screen will show first occurence of a wine containing that criteria in one of its text fields (not including the Tasting Notes nor the Wine Type description).
You can browse around the wines matching the entered search criteria using the up (previous), down (next), pgup (first) and pgdn (last) keys. The left and right keys can still be used to browse through all the wines.
Define Where Clause
If you have a little knowledge of SQL you can define the where clause to be used.
You can access the Define Where Clause window by pressing Ctrl-W.
Here you can specify the where clause of the view being used. An empty where clause selects all wines.
You should not specify the "where" token here, just what is to follow it.
Here are some examples of strings you could specify:
1) "amount > 0"
2) "amount > 0 and ryear <= '1998'"
3) "amount > 0 and area like '*Portugal'"
Note, if you enter an "a" as the first character of the where clause it will be interpreted as "amount>0". This means that you can write the following where clause:
"a and readyyear < '1998'"
The names of the fields are shown at the bottom of the Define Where Clause window.
From the Define Where Clause window you can access the Where Clause List window by pressing Ctrl-L. Here you can maintain named where clauses for reuse.
You can also use the Define Where Clause to specify an order by clause.
Define Where Clause can be used together with the Find Field. Up and down keys will browse through wines matching both settings while left and right keys will browse through wines matching the where clause.
List View
From the main screen you can open the List View window by pressing Shift-Ctrl-L.
This window will show you the list of titles that match your where clause. The list will also be sorted as specified in the where clause.
From the List View window you can:
- create a new entry
- delete an entry
- edit an entry
- select the entry to be viewed in the main window.
Get summary information
From the main screen you can open the Summary Information window by pressing Ctrl-S.
This window will show:
1) The number of bottles in your collection
2) The number of different wines in your collection (number of lables with at least 1 bottle)
3) The price you have paid for the entire collection
4) The value of the entire collection
5) The difference between the value of the collection and what you have paid for it (surplus)
6) The average bottle price
7) The average bottle value
8) The surplus as a percentage of your spendings
The summary is based on the current Find Field and Where Clause. If the current Find Field and Where Clause are empty the Summary Information will be based on the entire collection.
Wine types are registered in a separate table containing two fields:
1) Wine type sort code
2) Wine type name
A wine type sort code will be stored with every wine lable. The related wine type name is looked up and showed on the Wine Lable on the main screen.
The sort key can be used to sort the records. This will allow you to specify the band's real name as the Wine Type name without having to think about how it will be sorted. Ex:
Wine Type Name: Red Table Wine
Sort key: 010
You can activate the Wine Type Selection window from the main screen by pressing Ctrl-Shift-T.
The Wine Type Selection window lets you perform the following tasks:
Select
Returns the current wine type as a new value for the current wine label (shown on the main screen)
Edit code and name of the current wine type.
Note! If you change the wine type code all wine lables marked with this code will be changed as well.
Create a new wine type.
Delete
Delete the current wine type.
Note! If no other wine type with the same code exists all wines with the same wine type will be updated with no wine type.
If you wish to delete an existing wine type you should first change the code to one used by another wine type. By doing that all wines of the type to be deleted will obtain the other wine type instead of having no wine type.

You can import and export collection information to/from ascii files using the Import/Export utility.
Activate the Import/Export utility by pressing Ctrl-Shift-E.
1) Import an ascii file by pressing the import button (Ctrl-M) from the Import/Export window.
2) Generate an export file by pressing the Export button (Ctrl-X) from the Import/Export window.
The Import/Export window prompts you for a file name. The Import/Export window also lets you access five other windows:
1) The Set window (Ctrl-S) lets you define format sets for import and/or export. If the file export.dbf does not exist (eg first time you start the program) sets for Sheet and HTML exports are created for you.
2) The Form window (Ctrl-F) lets you specify the format of the current Set:
Format: List or Form. List reads/produces simple import/export files only containing field values and separators. Form produces export files containing both field values and field prompts. Note that you cannot import files in Form format.
File Head: The string to be placed in the beginning of the file. This string is only placed once in each import/export file.
File Foot: The string to be placed in the end of the file. This string is only placed once in each import/export file.
Before Record: The string to be placed before each collection item in import/export files. Strings of more or less than one character are extended with a new line character.
After Record: The string to be placed after each collection item in import/export files. Strings of more or less than one character are extended with a new line character.
End With After Record: If checked, the After Record separator is also placed after the last collection item of the import/export file. If unchecked, the After Record separator is only placed between records.
Field separator: The string to be placed between all fields. An empty field separator is implemented as a new line character.
End with field separator: If checked, a field separator is added to the end of each record (after the last field). If unchecked, the field separators are only placed between fields.
Before Field: A string to be placed before each field. This is used to enclose the fields.
After Field: A string to be placed after each field. This is used to enclose the fields.
3) The Lable fields (Ctrl-L) window lets you specify the order of the Lable Item fields. Low sequence numbers are placed before high numbers. Fields without sequence numbers are not imported/exported at all.
4) The Collection fields (Ctrl-C) window lets you specify the order of the Collection fields. Low sequence numbers are placed before high numbers. Fields without sequence numbers are not imported/exported at all.
5) The Notes (Ctrl-N} window lets you setup the output format of the Notes field.
As for 2) and 3) you can specify the sequence numer of the Notes field. Again an empty field specifies that you do not want the Notes included in the import/export.
The No Of Lines field lets you specify a fix number of lines to be generated for Notes. If the actual notes take less lines that what you have specified blank lines will be added to m
ach your setting. If the notes cannot fit within the specified number of lines the text will be truncated. If you set the No Of Lines field to "0" all text will be included in the export and no extra lines will be added.
The Line Width field is used to specify a maximum line width to be used for Notes. This will assure that no line will be wider than Line Width characters. If you have <new line> characters in your notes, some lines might get shorter than the specified width.
All wines registered in the Wine Collection are looked up in the Ratings.dbf file. Here a rating is returned based on the vintage and area of the wines.
You can set up your preferred rating scale from the Preference window (Ctrl-K).
You can maintain the Ratings.dbf file using the Area Rating window (Ctrl-A). I shall be updating the file from time to time and sending it to everybody having registered the program.

@Wine Collection 2.7.2 for the Psion Series 5(mx) (C) Marc de Oliveira & PocketIQ 1998-2000
If you are upgrading from Personal Wine Cabinet or a version of Wine Collection prior to 2.3 read the Upgrade section below.
Installation from SIS file:
1) Execute the wine.sis file on your pc or Psion.
2) Choose C or D drive for the installation (make sure that there is enought disk space).
3) The program will install itself.
Installation from ZIP file:
1) Make sure the \System folder is shown on your Series 5 system screen. If it's not, enable it in the 'Preferences' dialogue.
2) Using PsiWin copy the files PYTHIA.OPO, CABINET.OPO, EXPORT.OPO, PIQInfo.OPO, PIQInfo.RSC and PIQInfo.MBM to the folder \system\opl (you might have to create the folder)
3) Go into \System\Apps on C: or D: and make a new folder called "Wine"
4) Using PsiWin, copy the following files to the new \System\Apps\Wine folder:
wine.app
wine.aif
wine.mbm
wine.hlp
ratings.dbf
4) Copy the file sysram1.opx in the folder \system\opx
5) A new icon should appear on your Extras bar
Upgrade from Personal Wine Cabinet:
--------
To upgrade from Personal Wine Cabinet to Wine Collection:
1) Upgrade your Personal Wine Cabinet to version 1.3. Version 1.3 can be downloaded from http://www.PythiaInformation.com. Do not try to upgrade from any other version of Personal Wine Cabinet.
2) Make a complete export off all wines from Personal Wine Cabinet in List format (do not use Form format). Make sure that all seperators/ enclosers do not exist as part of your fields. A good choice of seperators/enclosers might be:
Record seperator: @@@
Field seperator: ###
Field encloser: $$$
Make sure that all fields are included in the export (that none of the fields have a blank sequence number).
Make a note of the sequence numbers of all fields (this note will be used on step 5).
To make sure that your tasting notes are not truncated use the following settings for notes:
No of lines: 0
Max line length: 9999
3) Rename the existing system\apps\wine directory (you might call it PWC). Keep this copy of the old files until the upgrade is complete.
4) Install Wine Collection as explained in the Install section.
5) Import the export file that you generated in 2). Make sure that the import format match the export format and that all fields have the same sequence numbers as they had during the export.
6) Be aware that the file "Ratings.dbf" contains the Area/Vintage ratings. If you maintained this file yourself you should be careful not to overwrite it when installing Wine Collection. If you did not maintain the Area/Vintage ratings yourself you should always use the newest version of the file.
When upgrading from Personal Wine Cabinet to Wine Collection you can copy the "Ratings.dbf" from your Personal Wine Cabinet installation (the two programs use the same "Ratings.dbf" file structure).
7) The wine type descriptions are not included in the export file, so while importing all wine types will be created with a wine type description which is the same as the wine type code.
After import you will have to change the wine type descriptions using Shift-Ctrl-T. All the wines are still imported with the correct wine type so will not have to update the individual wines.
8) Make sure that everything has been imported correctly.
9) Remove the Personal Wine Cabinet folder (system\apps\PWC).
Upgrade from version prior to version 2.3:
--------
1) Backup the .DBF and .INI files of all your Collection Suite applications.
2) Perform the installation as described above. Do NOT over write or remove the files with the extention .DBF or .INI.
3) Make sure that no Collection Suite applicat
ion is being run.
4) Copy the CabUpg23.opo to any directory and execute it by double tapping on it's icon. The program will upgrade all your Collection Suite .DBF files.
5) Delete the CabUpg23.opo file.
6) All your Collection Suite applications are now upgraded to version 2.3. Note, you only need to perform this upgrade once. You should not try to upgrade each Collection Suite application individually.
Problems
--------
1. Read only files
Some times files become read only while being installed. None of the files should be read only. If you get any errors like the program is unable to write information to your Psion go through the program files to see if some of them are read only.
In the system-view you can open the file property window by selecting (highlighting) a file and pressing Ctrl-P. In the property window you can see and set/clear the read only checkbox.
2. Copying between C and D
Be very careful when you move or copy applications between the C and D drives. It seems that the Psion is not correctly updated when applicaions are copied from C to D or vice versa.
Always delete the application directory from one drive before reinstalling on the other drive.
3. Low on battery
When starting up this program for the first time a lot of writing is done to the disk. If your machine is low on battery these writes can go wrong and turn the application files bad. This should only be an issue when running the application the first time.
4. Not enough memory
This program needs up to 300 Kb of free memory on the C drive. If you try to run the program with less than 300 Kb of free memory on the C drive it may not behave as expected.

Problems
--------
1. Read only files
Some times files become read only while being installed. None of the files should be read only. If you get any errors like the program is unable to write information to your Psion go through the program files to see if some of them are read only.
In the system-view you can open the file property window by selecting (highlighting) a file and pressing Ctrl-P. In the property window you can see and set/clear the read only checkbox.
2. Copying between C and D
Be very careful when you move or copy applications between the C and D drives. It seems that the Psion is not correctly updated when applicaions are copied from C to D or vice versa.
Always delete the application directory from one drive before reinstalling on the other drive.
3. Low on battery
When starting up this program for the first time a lot of writing is done to the disk. If your machine is low on battery these writes can go wrong and turn the application files bad. This should only be an issue when running the application the first time.
4. Not enough memory
This program needs up to 300 Kb of free memory on the C drive. If you try to run the program with less than 300 Kb of free memory on the C drive it may not behave as expected.
