5/6/93 VERSION 2.2f & g
If you are using 2.2f then RE-INDEX YOUR FILES and your parts
information will show up again (the data just got lost in the index).
I have implemented B-Tree file indexing to speed file access. Although
it offers fantastically improved performance, this has been a major
overhaul to the software, so I know there will be some bugs hanging
around. Let me know if you have any problems - even if you think that
you are the one doing something wrong, it might be a bug. I'll get the
updates out as quickly as I can. Registered users will receive version
2.3 free through the mail as soon as it is ready.
2/15/93 CONVERTING FILES TO VERSION 2.2
I have changed the file structures slightly, so version 2.2 of WVH
includes a conversion programme, CONVERT.EXE.
If you have been using a version prior to 2.2 (look at the Help/About
screen) you must use Convert. CONVERT is automatic ── Just run it by
typing "CONVERT" and when prompted answer "Y" to continue, and your
files will be converted. That's it; you're ready to go. Your old files
will be saved with the extension ".OLD", just in case anything goes
wrong.
On The Drawing Board
────────────────────
Here's where WVH is headed:
I will be adding a new field for number of hours to compliment the
mileage field for big rigs and other equipment which is tracked by
number of hours rather than miles.
I want to add the "smarts" to WVH so it can figure out the average
number of miles or hours a vehicle is used every week, month, etc. so
that it can predict when, for example, a 10,000 mile tune-up would be
likely to occur. Once I get this working I can have WVH do automatic
scheduling such as, "Oil change every 5000 miles", etc.
Expanded help, including context-sensitive help is being added to
all screens so when you want more information about something you can
press the F1/Help key. Mouse support is also finding its way slowly
into all of the screens.
