- JEPRS (v1.11) by Louis M. Miranda REGISTRATION ($15.00)
-
-
- JEPRS (pronounced "Jeepers!") is a program that maintains a database
- of references to articles published in scientific journals and books.
- It allows you to add, update, list, search, and format references in
- the format required for practically any journal. It is made to run
- under PC/MS-DOS (version 2.0 or higher) on IBM PCs and 100%
- compatibles.
-
- You start the program by simply entering the command "JEPRS" at the
- DOS prompt, like this:
- C:\JEPRS> JEPRS
- If all goes well, the screen will momentarily clear, some introductory
- messages will appear, and finally the Welcome Screen will appear
- (which includes the copyright notice, and to whom the program was
- provided). Type any key to continue to the Main Menu. If you are
- starting JEPRS without a database (for example, when you are creating
- a new one), you will get an error message stating that JEPRS can't
- find the database files; this is normal. Just press F6 to create your
- own database, F4 to specify a new name, or F10 to exit the program.
-
- Once you start JEPRS, and you pass the Welcome Screen, you are
- presented with the Main Menu from which you can enter any of JEPRS's
- commands. The box on the left side of the screen contains the Main
- Menu. Every command listed (Add, Update, List, Format, Search,
- Options, Help, and Exit) can be invoked by at least two methods:
-
- Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the command you want to
- use, then press Enter to start that command, or
-
- Press the key corresponding to the first letter of the command's name
- (for example, press H for Help, or O for Options).
-
- JEPRS is a specialized database system used to store, retrieve and
- search for references to the scientific literature. While it was
- designed by a graduate student in the biological sciences there is no
- obvious reason JEPRS cannot be used by anyone needing easy access to
- references to any kind of books, journals, abstracts, magazines, and
- other literature.
