Major Release 3.0
=================
Added functions for managing addresses:
- Entry, Consult, Change, Remove addresses
- Mail-Merge functions with WordPerfect to make large mailings
and to make labels
- Exportfunctions to dBASE, LOTUS en ASCII
New utilities 'TRANSFER', BackUp and Restore.
Possibility to indicate the location of the ALARM interface-file
for the sake of diskless workstations.
Release 3.01
============
Solved complaint regarding the day of the week when
looking ahead in the diary.
Release 3.02
============
Solved complaint about the reporting of future years which do not
fall within the range of the search-parameter in BatchMode.
Major Release 4.0
=================
- ASCII-pick-list added for names such as Jäger and Ängström.
These special characters are normally generated by a combination
of the ALT-key and the numeric key-pad.
In BatchReminder this is not possible because the ALT-key controls
the pull-down menu. By pressing Control-A one may call the shortened
ASCII-list from most data-entry screens in BatchReminder.
- 4 function Calculator with memory-function which may be operated with
the mouse or key-board.
- Introduction of BatchReminder Memo's which are connected to address-
records in the address-file. This was implemented by special request
of a chef and a salesman. The chef needed a way to record and
retrieve dinner-preferations and diets for his customers. The other
needed it to type in a short report about the last visit to a
account.
The memos may be made unreadable for prying eyes by means of
data-encryption.
Furthermore these memos may be exported to a TEXT-file.
On export the memo is date-stamped so the memo-text file can turn
into a log-file with valuable information.
Release 4.01
============
The following problems where solved:
- Memory-problem when calling the address-index.
Over a certain amount of entries BatchReminder ran out of
string-space when constructing the index.
- The reporterscreen always expected a user response when it popped up.
This meant that if no response followed, the screen would stay on
permanently thus holding up other processes.
Now the reporterscreen only stays on for 5 minutes after which
it will self-terminated, that is, if the user did not press enter
before that time.
Release 4.1
===========
New feature
- File-browse utility BatchBrowse (BB.EXE) has been added to enable the user
to browse and print the BatchReminder TEXT-files such as exported
memos and the DIARY historical file.
In fact it will browse files, drives and sub-directories indiscriminately,
please use it as you see fit.
- MS Word for Windows support, which was already available through
export, has been added to Mail Merge.
The documentation gives a in-depth-approach about Mail Merging
with MS Word through ODBC.
RELEASE 4.2 (March 1996)
========================
- Change in appearance of the calendar:
Added weeknumber indication and improved readability of calendar
- Enlarging of Postal(ZIP)-code field to accomodate US-format
- Introduction of Windows-application 'BatchNotes/BatchLauncher'
which brings BatchReminder alarms to the Windows(tm) platform.
The BatchLauncher program BATLANCH.EXE for Windows (needs VBRUN300.DLL)
is included in the BatchReminder package.
