Revision History of PXDB:
=========================
version 1D 7-04-93
-------------------
Changes to PX.EXE:
(1) Minor cosmetic change to main menu (slightly decreased spacing between
the letters "W", "P" and X").
(2) Modified the Delete option within the Edit function so that after a log
entry is deleted, the line which reads "Entry # xxxx is ........." is
updated to read the corrected (updated) log entry for that particular
record number. This worked properly for some instances of a deletion
but now works for all instances.
(3) Under the Sort/save menu selection, changed the sub-menu "save without
sorting" key from "V" to "A". (It just seemed to be more logical.)
(4) Corrected a problem with the "Print <A>ll entries (!, ++) not yet cred-
ited for HR" function in which the new and previous totals were
calculated incorrectly. This affected ONLY those users who were
involved with WPX Honor Roll totals.
(5) Revised the application form file WPX_APP.FRM to reflect the change in
Norm's address (now has a P. O. Box) and added line for "Previous
Total"; the new Form 1051B is now dated 1993.
No changes to PXSETUP; PX is now version 1.11.
version 1C 6-08-92
-------------------
Major re-work of portions of the code; much more optimized. .EXE file
sizes and memory requirements reduced without losing significant
functionality. Still uses the newer version of the PX.DAT file (as
will future versions) which includes screen-blank option (see version
1B revision notes).
Changes/Additions to PX.EXE:
(1) Some cosmetic changes to the main menu: removed the blue lines
around the edges (they looked pretty but bloated the menu code and
added nothing to functionality); slightly re-arranged the menu layout.
(2) Added capability to print out CQ form 1051B (WPX application &
endorsement form). This is accomplished via a shell to DOS to copy
the ASCII file "WPX_APP.FRM" to the printer; please DO NOT edit this
file! It was designed to have all information fit within 66 lines
and the Awards Manager would undoubtedly appreciate it if we all try
and maintain integrity of this file so that all the endorsement cover
sheets we send him look the same. (Thanks!)
(3) Deleted the "Locate" function; "Read-Entire" now displays each entry
by record number and is only two columns wide instead of three.
(4) "Save log file" and "Sort & then Save log file" are now combined in
one "Sort/Save" option available from main menu. (Changes (3) and
(4) resulted in the main menu selection box being smaller.)
(5) "Print" functions totally re-written; when printing log data, the
first "x" entries are printed on the first page, the next "x" entries
are printed on the second page, and so on. This tends to make it
easier to locate a particular prefix on a lengthy printout. Each
page is now numbered. Also, if there are not enough entries found to
print for a particular selection, PX informs you of that and does not
print.
Changes to PXSETUP.EXE:
Besides some code optimization, there are only two notable changes.
(1) The "Read" function now displays each entry by record number in two
columns the same as PX does.
(2) While in "Add" mode, several examples of proper callsign format are
now displayed on-screen.
PXSETUP is now version 1.02 and PX is now version 1.10.
For full discussion of all new/added features to both programs, refer to
the complete documentation file, PXDB.DOC.
version 1B 3-10-92
-------------------
Made screen blanking optional; PXSETUP now has "screen Blank time" option
in main menu. IMPOPRTANT NOTE: If you have been using a previous version
of PXDB, you will now have to create a new PX.DAT program data file since
the previous one is incompatible with the new versions of the .EXE files.
Delete PX.DAT and run PXSETUP again and enter your callsign, GMT offset,
WPX manager info., sound effects option, log file path (if not default),
and screen blanking time. Then save the data file to disk. This change
will NOT affect the log file(s) in any way (you will NOT have to re-enter
or edit any log data). Both executable files have been revised; PXSETUP
is now version 1.01 and PX is now version 1.02.
version 1A 11-27-91
--------------------
Corrected a small problem in the <Read>-Statistics funcion in which WPX
Honor Roll statistics were incorrectly calculated under certain condi-
tions.
Added Print function to print ALL confirmed (in addition to New confirmed
or Old confirmed) prefixes which were not yet credited toward WPX Honor
Roll. This was to add flexibility in submitting Honor Roll endorsements.
Both executable files (PX.EXE & PXSETUP.EXE) are now compressed with
PKWare's executable file compressor, PKLITE.
PXSETUP is still version 1.00 and PX is now version 1.01.
version 1 09-01-91
-------------------
Initial release of program.
