- What's New
-
- Each edition of MicroData Infodisk will now include three new features:
-
- * Highlights -- a summary of selected new and updated reports
-
- * Perspectives -- feature articles from Faulkner's subscriber
- newsletter. Our first Perspectives articles cover network
- servers and advice on buying used computers
-
- * OLDNEWS -- news abstracts from previous issues of MicroData.
-
- Highlights
-
- To get a brief summary of new and updated coverage, type HIGHLIGHTS
- after selecting KEYWORDS at the F3 window.
-
- Perspectives
-
- For a list of feature articles from Perspectives written by Faulkner's
- senior editorial staff, type PERSPECTIVES after selecting KEYWORDS at
- the F3 window.
-
- OLDNEWS
-
- Each new MicroData Infodisk contains the most recent news abstracts
- along with full reports, charts, and summaries. However, news abstracts
- from earlier MicroData editions are still available to you. To access
- the OLDNEWS data base:
- Press F5
- Move your cursor to the option, Select New Data. Press ENTER.
- The screen displays two choices, INFO and OLDNEWS.
- Move the cursor to OLDNEWS and press ENTER. (INFO is the
- current MicroData Infodisk data base.)
-
- Everything in the program -- searching, retrieving, saving -- works
- exactly the same.
-
- When you are ready to return to the current MicroData file, repeat
- the process from F5, but this time select INFO.
-
- This enhancement is the result of subscriber feedback -- our customers
- telling us what they wanted. We think it's a great idea. Keeping a
- separate data base on the same Infodisk conserves work space and
- optimizes response times, while giving you easy access to news
- abstracts from prior issues of MicroData Infodisk.
