- Newsletter 1 - Fish and Hunting Expert Users
-
- Users of the Fish and Hunting Expert Programs recommend some interesting
- ways to use the Fish and Hunting Programs, and we pass them along to you.
-
- Professional fisherman keep a lot of records, and this helps makes them
- very successful. The logs bring the power and ease of the computer
- to this important activity. You accumulate successful trends and
- make better use of your time.
-
- Have a neighborhood, company, or church parish accumulate information
- in the logs. You really get a good scouting report which should
- enable everyone to do well in fishing and hunting. The group accumulates
- recipes and shares important safety information as well.
-
- Companies can put the fishing and hunting programs on a network (they do
- need a network license from us). The company then distributes the safety
- information, recipes, and scouting info to all employees. This helps
- employee morale tremendously as all company users accumulate and share
- hunting and fishing information.
-
- A father can easily pass along lake and other information accumulated
- over a lifetime to his son(s). Church parishes and firms also have
- a valuable pool information which they retain from generation to
- generation.
-
- Use of the F3 Search key in the logs and library gets you to a topic
- you want instantly. No more searching for that packing list and
- items on it.
-
- The training a youngster receives using the programs develops
- computer skills and knowledge he someday will need in his job or
- profession.
-
- By the way some Iowa school system hunter education instructors
- recommend this program in their hunter education classes!
-
- Users really have recognized the importance of the scouting log in your
- hunt. Scouting is a vital activity and the log captures this information
- easily. When after big bucks you need to record the size of bucks
- visually sighted and their sheds of antlers to confirm the existence
- of that big buck you will get next season. (We plan to add substantially
- to the hunting program to cover more scouting technique)
-
- If you have a recipe log or a scouting log for an area and wish to
- share them, please send it along to us and we will make it available
- via this newsletter.
-
- In the logs turning off the INSERT makes entry easier sometimes.
- Turn it off or on by toggling the Insert key.
-
- Also use the TAB key to TAB over to certain areas.
-
- Convert some logs to check lists by turning the insert off and
- putting an X in the leftmost column
-
- If you use Compuserve or any other Computer Service which lists
- recipes or other messages, then you easily save important
- recipes and messages to the appropriate log using the F9 key
- to import the message or portions of the messages after having
- saved them from the Computer Service. For example, if you use
- Compuserve and access it using the TAPCIS program you save
- Outdoor Forum messages in a file called either Outdoor.msg or
- Outdoor.sav. Press the F9 Key after in a logs and give
- this file name (include any path); pick which portions of the
- messages you want using the F9 key at the beginning and end
- of the messages you want and you have easily saved and stored
- important messages for future use.
-
- You capture valuable information from hunting and fishing TV
- programs, videos, seminars, etc. by creating an added log from
- the extra or blank log. Then while or after you view a lecture
- or rented video, enter the key points in the log so you
- have the key points permanently at your finger tips.
-
- We updated the hunting data base for version 4 to include the latest
- information on whitetail hunting and it has much more information and
- some new conditions.

-
- USER INPUT
-
- If you have a file you think would work well with the program, send
- it to us, and we will make it available to others and give you
- a free upgrade if we include it on our list.
-
- Tell us a new way to use the Program and if used we will give you a
- free upgrade.
-
- -------------------
-
- NEXT VERSION - Graphics!
-
- We are already planning the next versions and it will include more
- data base material in the expert system, more library information, and
- even more Log Applications (send us your idea for a Log Application Key
- and get a free upgrade if chosen). We also tentatively plan to use
- Microsoft Windows to give you some graphics uses. For Example,
- Hunting Maps, Lake Charts, etc.. Unfortunately we could not implement
- a graphics function in the current versions with high enough quality
- to make it really useful to you.
