Summers¢¢ DATAX.CTB is a full-featured¢information processing system for¢Atari XL/XE computers with at least¢64K. The program can handle files¢with up to 300 characters (letters¢or digits) per field, 20 fields per¢record, 1,000 records per file, for¢a maximum of 600,000 bytes of¢information.¢¢XXX¢ The program performs certain¢mathematical manipulations¢across fields as well as the add,¢delete and update functions normally¢found in this type of program. With¢the use of windows, no complicated¢commands need be learned.¢¢XXX¢¢IMPORTANT NOTE:¢¢ The Pong program (PONG.EXE) and¢the Printer Spooler files¢(SPOOLER.OBJ and SPOOLER.M65) are¢on the back of this disk.¢¢XXX¢² * > MORE BONUS FILES < *²¢¢Whenever there is sufficient room,¢we will be including TYPO II and¢LINKLINE on the monthly disks.¢TYPO II is in LISTed form, and ¢must be ENTERed before using.¢It will not RUN from the menu.¢¢²²²¢¢XXX¢¢The menu that appeared on the screen¢when you booted the disk will only¢RUN programs with a .BAS extender.¢If you try to run a program and the¢response is 'cannot run Filename',¢check the file extender with this¢list:¢XXX¢¢.BAS BASIC saved program, use menu¢ RUN or LOAD and RUN.¢.LST BASIC listed program, ENTER¢ then RUN.¢.EXE Assembly language 'Load and¢ Go' file.
