╔F THIS IS THE FIRST TIME USING THE ─┴╘┴ ─╔╙╦ IN THE DISK DRIVE YOU MUST CREATE A ─┴╘┴ ╞╔╠┼ (OR ╥ETURN TO THE MAIN ═ENU). ┴FTER ALL YOU CAN'T LOAD OR DELETE A FILE THAT DOESN'T EXIST. ╘HE SAME APPLIES IF YOU HAVE DELETED ALL THE ─┴╘┴á╞╔╠┼╙ THAT WERE ON A ─┴╘┴á─╔╙╦. ╧THERWISE YOU CAN SELECT ANY OPTION YOU WISH.
╠╧┴─á┴á─┴╘┴á╞╔╠┼.
╙ELECT THIS OPTION TO CHOOSE THE ─┴╘┴ ╞╔╠┼ YOU WISH TO DISPLAY OR WORK WITH. ╘HIS WORK INCLUDES ADDING & DELETING ISSUES, UPDATING THE GRADES & PRICE GUIDE LISTINGS. ╫HEN YOU CHOOSE THIS OPTION YOU WILL BE SENT TO THE ╘╔╘╠┼╙ MENU. ┼NTER THE NUMBER OF THE TITLE YOU WISH TO WORK WITH. ┼NTER '0' (OR JUST PRESS <╥┼╘╒╥╬> ) TO LIST THE NEXT PAGE OF TITLES. ┼NTER 'E' TO RETURN TO THE ─┴╘┴á╞╔╠┼áMENU.
╬╧╘┼: ╔T IS NOT NECCESARY FOR THE TITLE YOU WISH TO SELECT TO BE DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN IN ORDER FOR YOU TO CHOOSE IT. ╔F YOU KNOW THE NUMBER ON THE ─┴╘┴ ─╔╙╦ OF THE TITLE YOU WANT, JUST ENTER IT.

╬╧╘┼: ╘HE ISSUE RANGE REFERS TO THE NUMBER OF ISSUES PUBLISHED UNDER THAT TITLE WHICH FALL WITHIN THAT THAT RANGE. ╬╧╘ THE NUMBER OF ISSUES YOU OWN. ╞OR EXAMPLE, ╔F YOU WERE CREATING A ─┴╘┴ ╞╔╠┼ FOR ┴CTION ├OMICS, EVEN THOUGH YOU ONLY OWN 100 ISSUES OF ┴CTION ├OMICS, YOU WOULD SELECT OPTION #3 (╠ARGE : 501-750 ISSUES) FOR THE FILE SIZE, SINCE ┴CTION ├OMICS HAS PUBLISHED WELL OVER 500 ISSUES.
╚╔╬╘ : ╫HEN SELECTING A FILE SIZE, IF THE TITLE IN QUESTION IS VERY NEAR TO THE UPPER LIMIT OF THE FILE SIZE IT IS CURRENTLY IN, CHOOSE NEXT FILE SIZE SO YOU WON'T HAVE TO RECREATE TO ENTIRE ─┴╘┴á╞╔╠┼ WHEN IT STARTS PUBLISHING ISSUES THAT MOVE IT INTO THE NEXT RANGE. ┼X. IF YOU ARE CREATING A ─┴╘┴á╞╔╠┼ FOR A COMIC (THAT IS STILL BEEN PUBLISHED) THAT IS ON ISSUE #245 GO AHEAD AND CHOOSE ═EDIUM (251-500 ISSUES) FOR THE FILE SIZE.
┴FTER YOU SELECT THE FILE THE PROGRAM WILL ASK YOU THE NAME OF THE TITLE YOU ARE CREATING A ─┴╘┴ ╞╔╠┼ FOR. ┼NTER THE TITLE AND PRESS RETURN.

┴FTER YOU ┼NTER A TITLE NAME THE ─┴╘┴ ╞╔╠┼ WILL BE CREATED. ╘HE ─┴╘┴ FILE CAN NOW BE LOADED USING THE ╠╧┴─á┴ ─┴╘┴á╞╔╠┼ OPTION. ╧F COURSE AT THIS POINT THERE WILL NO USEFULL INFO IN THE FILE. ┘OU WILL HAVE TO LOAD AND UPDATE THE FILE TO PUT INFORMATION INTO IT.
╬╧╘┼ : ┘OU CAN CREATE A MAXIMUM OF 50 ─┴╘┴ ╞╔╠┼╙ OR A MAXIMUM 600 BLOCKS CAN USED FOR ─┴╘┴á╞╔╠┼╙. ╫HICH EVER COMES FIRST. ┴FTER ONE OF THESE LIMITS HAS BEEN REACHED YOU WILL NEED TO CREATE A NEW ─┴╘┴ ─╔╙╦. ┬UT KEEP MIND IF THE PROGRAM WON'T LET YOU CREATE A FILE OF A CERTAIN SIZE, THERE MAY STILL BE ENOUGH ROOM FOR A ─┴╘┴á╞╔╠┼ OF A SMALLER SIZE. (╘HIS DOES NOT APPLY TO ╙═┴╠╠á─┴╘┴á╞╔╠┼╙ OR IF THE 50 TITLES LIMIT HAS BEEN REACHED.)
─┼╠┼╘┼á┴ ─┴╘┴á╞╔╠┼

[7] ╥ETURN TO ╨REVIOUS ═ENU
╬OW FROM THIS POINT ON ╔ FEEL THIS MENU AND VARIOUS SUB-MENUS ARE PRETTY SELF-EXPLAINATORY SO ╔ WON'T GO INTO REAL DETAIL, BUT HERE ARE A FEW THING YOU MIGHT NEED TO KNOW AND A FEW MORE NOTES.
╔SSUE LISTING OPTION WILL LIST ALL OF THE ISSUES YOU HAVE. ╧NCE YOU CHOOSE THIS OPTION YOU MIGHT HAVE TO WAIT A FEW SECONDS AFTER THE SCREEN CLEARS FOR THE LISTING TO START.
├OMPLETE ISSUE INFO - INCLUDES THE GRADE AND VALUE OF YOUR COPY OF AN ISSUE.
╬╧╘┼: ╘HE VALUE DISPLAYED SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR BUYING OR SELLING OF COMICS. ╘HE VALUE IS BASED ON GRADE AND THE PRICE GUIDE LISTING THAT YOU SUPPLY FOR THAT TITLE. ╘HE PROGRAM DOES NOT TAKE IN ACCOUNT THE OVER OR UNDER GRADING OF ISSUES NOR THE WIDE RANGE OF VALUES AMONG PRICE GUIDES.
╬╧╘┼: ╘HE VALUE WILL BE ZERO IF YOU HAVEN'T ENTERED & SAVED ANY PRICE GUIDE VALUES FOR A ─┴╘┴ ╞╔╠┼ TO THE ─┴╘┴á─╔╙╦. ╘HE VALUE ALSO BE ZERO IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE ISSUE IN QUESTION.
╟RADES & ├OMPLETE ╔SSUE ╔NFO ARE DISPLAYED ONE ISSUE AT A TIME. ┘OU CAN START WITH ANY ISSUE YOU WISH.
╒SE THE RENAME A TITLE OPTION FOR A BOOK THAT HAS CHANGED ITS TITLE.
╒SE THE UPDATE OPTION TO ADD ISSUES AND CHANGE GRADES.
╫HEN ADDING OR DELETING ISSUE OR UPDATING THE PRICE GUIDE LIST YOU CAN DO IT ONE ISSUE AT A TIME OR BY A RUN. (┴ RUN IS A STRING OF CONSECUTIVE ISSUES)
╬╧╘┼: ╫HEN ADDING ISSUES YOU ═╒╙╘ ASSIGN A GRADE TO EACH ISSUE. ╘HIS IS DONE ONE ISSUE AT A TIME. ╔T ONLY TAKES ONE KEYSTOKE TO ASSIGN A GRADE, SO IT SHOULDN'T TAKE VERY LONG.
╬╧╘┼: ╔F YOU DON'T WON'T TO GRADE EACH ISSUE OR DON'T CARE WHAT THE GRADE OF AN ISSUE SELECT THE "─ON'T ├ARE" CHOICE WHEN ASSIGNING AN ISSUE A GRADE. ╚OWEVER IF YOU DO THIS THE ╟╥┴─┼╙ & ├╧═╨╠┼╘┼á╔╙╙╒┼á╔╬╞╧ DISPLAY OPTIONS WILL BE VIRTUALLY USELESS (THEY WILL STILL WORK BUT ALL GRADES WILL BE "─ON'T CARE" AND ALL VALUES WILL BE 0.) ─O THIS IF YOU ONLY WANT TO USE THE ╔╙╙╒┼á╠╔╙╘╔╬╟ OPTION.
╘HE ╨RICE ╟UIDE.
╫HEN YOU SELECT THE ─ISPLAY/╒PDATE ╨RICE GUIDE OPTION THE PRICE GUIDE LISTING FOR THE TITLE WILL BE LOADING INTO THE MEMORY. ╘HIS WILL TAKE A MINUTE OR TWO.
╒NLIKE THE ISSUE AND GRADE LISTINGS, THE PRICE GUIDE LISTING DOES NOT HAVE TO BE ONLY ON THE ISSUES YOU HAVE BUT CAN BE ON EVERY ISSUE OF THAT TITLE EVER PUBLISHED. ╙O NOW YOU CAN PUT A PRICE GUIDE FOR YOUR REFERENCE ON A DISK. ╘HOUGH THE PRICE GUIDE VALUES ARE ONLY FOR A SINGLE TITLE, YOU CAN CREATE A PRICE GUIDE FOR ANY TITLE WHETHER YOU HAVE IT OR NOT.
╔F YOU DON'T WANT TO USE THE PRICE GUIDE, DON'T. ╔T WON'T EFFECT THE OTHER PROGRAM FEATURES (EXCEPT FOR VALUE IN ├OMPLETE ISSUE INFO.). ┘OU DON'T HAVE TO ENTER ALL OR ANY PRICES INTO THE PRICE GUIDE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO.
┘OU CAN USE ANY ╨RICE ╟UIDE YOU WISH TO SUPPLY THE ─┴╘┴ ╞╔╠┼ WITH VALUES. ╔ WOULD RECCOMEND ╘HE ╧VERSTREET ╨RICE ╟UIDE, SINCE IT IS THE MOST COMPLETE AND WIDELY ACCEPTED COMIC BOOK PRICE GUIDE, BUT ANY PRICE GUIDE WILL DO.
╬╧╘┼: ╒SE THE ╬┼┴╥ ═╔╬╘ VALUES OF WHATEVER PRICE GUIDE YOU USE (╔F THEY ARE SUPPLIED OTHERWISE USE THE ═╔╬╘ VALUES).
╬╧╘┼: ╘HE MAXIMUM VALUE THAT CAN BE GIVEN TO AN ISSUE IS $65535.95 . ╘HOUGH ╔ HAD INTENDED FOR THE PRICE GUIDE TO BE ABLE TO HOLD THE VALUE FOR ANY COMICS FOR YEARS, ╔ DIDN'T REALIZE HOW FAST AND HOW MUCH THE MOST VALUABLE COMICS WOULD RISE IN VALUE. ╘HE DAY AFTER ╔ FINISHED DEBUGGING THIS PROGRAM, THE NEW ╧VERSTREET ╨RICE GUIDE CAME OUT LISTING ─┼╘┼├╘╔╓┼ #27 AT $60,000!!! ╙O IT WILL PROBABLY BE OUT OF RANGE BY NEXT YEAR (┴ND MAYBE EVEN SOONER IF THE 2ND ┬ATMAN MOVIE IS A HIT.).
╬╧╘┼: ╫HEN SAVING A PRICE GUIDE AFTER UPDATING IT THERE IS A NOTICABLE TIME LAG BEFORE THIS PROCCES IS COMPLETE (ESPECIALLY FOR LARGE FILE).
╨LEASE BE PATIENT, THE PROGRAM IS STILL WORKING EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT SEEM LIKE YOUR COMPUTER HAS LOCKED UP. ╘HIS IS DUE TO GARBAGE COLLECTING. ┬ECAUSE OF THIS TIME LAG ╔ WAS FORCED TO ELIMINATE OF ALL OF THE ╥┼═ STATEMENTS TO INCREASE THE AVAILABLE MEMORY AND SPEED UP THIS PROCESS. ╔ WAS PLANNING TO LEAVE THE ╥┼═S IN TO HELP YOU (AND ME) LOCATE AND DEBUG ANY PROBLEMS YOU MIGHT HAVE FOUND IN THE PROGRAM. ╙O IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS OR FIND ANY ERRORS, CONTACT ME.
╚╔╬╘ : ╫HEN ENTERING PRICE GUIDE VALUES ENTER VALUES FOR A RUN OF ISSUES WHERE MOST OF THE ISSUES WITHIN THE RUN HAVE THE SAME VALUE. ╙TARTNG WITH ISSUES THAT ARE THE FURTHEST AWAY FROM EACH OTHER IN ISSUE NUMBER. ╘HEN GO WITHIN THAT RUN AND DO THE SAME THING. ┼NTER THE VALUES OF SINGLE ISSUES THAT BREAK RUN OF SAME PRICED BOOKS LAST. ╞OR EXAMPLE :
╔╙╙╒┼ #'S ╓ALUE
101-116 $1
117,143 $5
118-142 $0.75
144-149 $0.75
150 $7
151-199 $1
┼NTER THE VALUES IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER. ╞IRST USING THE RUN OPTION ENTER VALUES FOR ╔SSUES 101-199, THEN ISSUES 118-149. ╠ASTLY ENTER VALUES FOR ISSUES 117, 143, 150 USING THE SINGLE ISSUE OPTION. ╘HIS SHOULD SPEED UP THE INPUT OF VALUES. ╘HIS WAY YOU DON'T HAVE TO ENTER THEM EXACTLY AS THEY ARE LISTED IN THE PRICE GUIDE, WITH ALL THE BREAKS IN THE VALUE RUNS.
╬╧╘┼ THIS PROGRAM WAS NOT INTENDED FOR LIMITED SERIES (═INI-SERIES & ═AXI-SERIES) BUT WORKS FOR THEM TOO. ╔F YOU WISH YOU CAN CREATE ─┴╘┴á╞╔╠┼╙ FOR THOSE TOO, HOWEVER THIS DOES WASTE A LOT OF SPACE. ╔ AM PLANNING TO WRITE A SIMILAR PROGRAM FOR LIMITED SERIES, AS WELL A COUPLE OF OTHER PROGRAMS THAT CAN BE USED WITH THE ─┴╘┴á╞╔╠┼╙ CREATED BY THIS PROGRAM. ─EPENDING ON THE RESPONSE ╔ GET FROM THIS PROGRAM ╔ MIGHT UPLOAD THEM TOO.
- ╧NLY SWITCH ─┴╘┴ ─╔╙╦╙ IN THE DISK DRIVE AT THE MAIN MENU AND THEN ALWAYS SELECT THE ╠OAD A ─┴╘┴ ─╔╙╦ OPTION. ╞AILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE THE PROGRAM TO CRASH WHEN LOADING A ─┴╘┴ ╞╔╠┼ OR COULD REALLY MESS UP YOUR ─┴╘┴ ╞╔╠┼╙ WHEN YOU TRY TO UPDATE THEM. ╔F YOU ARE NOT SURE IF THE DISK IN THE DISK DRIVE IS THE SAME AS THE ONE LISTED ON THE SCREEN SIMPLY SELECT THE ╠OAD A ─┴╘┴ ─╔╙╦ OPTION. ╘HIS CAN BE DONE AS MANY TIMES AS YOU WISH WITH ANY ─┴╘┴ ─╔╙╦. ╔T ONLY TAKE A FEW SECONDS AND WON'T CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS.
- ─O ┴╠╠ DELETING TASK WITHIN THE PROGRAM. ─O NOT SCRATCH A DATA FILE OUTSIDE OF THE PROGRAM. ╔T MIGHT CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH LATER FILES. ╘HE ONLY EXCEPTION IS IF YOU PLAN SCRATCH ALL THE FILES ON A ─┴╘┴ ─╔╙╦. ╔N THAT CASE USE 'SCRATCH:CBF*'.
- ╘HE PROGRAM IS WRITTEN NOT TO ALLOW ANY ILLEGAL VALUES. ╔ HOPE ╔ WAS ABLE TO PREVENT AN ILLEGAL VALUES TO BE ENTERED, BUT IN CASE ╔ MISSED ANY DON'T ENTER ANY VALUE THAT YOU KNOW ARE OUT OF THE SPECIFIED RANGE.
- ─ON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WONDERING ABOUT OR LOOKING FOR VERSIONS 1-4 OF THIS PROGRAM. ╘HEY WERE ONLY FOR MY PERSONAL USE. ╘HOUGH WHEN DECIDING TO WRITE THEM ╔ DID THINK ABOUT RELEASING THEM, THAT WAS IMPRACTIAL. ╘HEY WERE SLOW, TOOK UP A LOT OF DISK SPACE AND WERE VERY HARD & TIME CONSUMING TO IMPLEMENT & UPDATE (┼VEN FOR ME AND ╔ WROTE THEM). ╘HE VERSION THIS ONE WAS BASED ON USED A MEMORY EXPANSION CARTRIDGE & ITS EXTENDED ┬ASIC. ╘HIS VERSION WAS WRITTEN SOLELY TO BE UPLOAD AND USED WITH ANY ├=64'S STARDARD ┬ASIC V2.0.
╒NLESS YOU ARE A VERY GOOD AND ╨┴╘╔┼╬╘ PROGRAMMER ╔ SUGGEST YOU CONTACT ME IF YOU FIND ANY ERRORS IN THE PROGRAM. ╔ CAME UP WITH A LOT OF NEW IDEAS MIDWAY THRU WRITTING THIS PROGRAM SO THE CODING REALLY JUMPS AROUND AND IS KIND OF HARD TO FOLLOW. ╔F YOU FIND AN ERROR INFORM ME OF THE NATURE OF THE ERROR AND ╔'LL TRY TO FIND AND FIX IT.
╔ AM RELEASING THIS ╞REE╫ARE, SO IF YOU LIKE THIS PROGRAM A SMALL DONATION IS WELCOME. $5 IS THE SUGGESTED DONATION, BUT SEND WHATEVER YOU LIKE EVEN IF IT'S JUST A NOTE TELLING ME WHAT YOU THINK OF THE PROGRAM.
