──────┤ What Vehicle History? 2.2m 5/12/1993
This is the fully functional, Unregistered Edition of What Vehicle
History? Other than a pause at start-up, it is identical to the
Registered Edition (i.e., it is not "crippled").
WVH provides any easy way to track the service history on many cars,
trucks, campers, dozers, grading equipment, what-have-you. You may
identify vehicles by VIN or manufacturer's number (for non-VIN
equipment).
WVH contains five data bases:
1. Vehicles
2. Mechanics, employees, or places of service
3. Divisions, departments, locations, etc.
4. Types of service
5. Service history
The only practical limit WVH has is the number of vehicles you may
track, which is limited by your registration level. The service
history requires the most disk space, since it will grow as you add
information. The other data bases will likely be very small (just a
few kilobytes) unless you have a very large number of employees or
departments.
On a 360k floppy disk there is about 100k of free space. A typical
service entry will take around 512 bytes (depending on number of
parts entered), so I would figure that you could track 3 vehicles
from assembly line to junk yard in this space. Just the same, a
hard disk is best since it is so much faster and sealed from dust
and fingerprints.
Integrated back-up/restore/format floppies functions make WVH a
complete environment in which even a novice user can manage data
without the need for addition software or knowledge of DOS commands.
A brief on-line manual is accessible within the programme (via the
Help/Index menu).
Mouse support is installed on menus only. I don't know anyone who
is using WVH with a mouse -- if you are, tell me and it will give me
the fire I need enhance the mouse support.
Documentation on-disk is provided in TWO FORMATS: ASCII and
WordPerfect 5.1. If the user has WordPerfect (or a conversion
utility) the documentation can be properly formatted for their
printer, taking advantage of special fonts and in many cases saving
paper.
