ROLADEX 2.0
09/02/1993
This is the newest version of my networkable roladex program.
I've fixed a bug and added an 'abort' to the 'name list'
button because this process could get lengthy when you start
to accumulate lots of records.
The program is pretty self explanatory, but I should point
out a few things.
1) INSTALLATION
To install ROLADEX, simply copy the EXE file onto
each computer that will be using it. YOU MUST HAVE A
COPY OF THE .EXE FILE RUNNING ON EACH WORKSTATION
THAT IS USING ROLADEX ON THE NETWORK.
2) DATA PATH
The first time you start ROLADEX, you will get
prompted for the DATA PATH. This is simply where
ROLADEX will look for the data files. This should be
a sub-directory on a server's hard disk. For example,
if your server is your drive E: then create a
subdirectory like E:\ROLADEX and then each user will
specify E:\ROLADEX\ as their data path. Everyone
will have a copy of the .exe file, and share one
common data file on server E:.
3) SINGLE USER
Roladex may also be used by a single user. Simply
make a directory on you hard disk the data path. For
example : C:\ROLADEX\
4) SHARE
As on many networks, the dos SHARE program MUST be
loaded in order for ROLADEX to work correctly.
5) EUTIL
EUTIL is a database utility for manipulating data
files created by ROLADEX. I should note that the
ISAM routines used in ROLADEX are from EllTech
Development, and are great! EUTIL is their program
and is distributed with permission. If you are a
BASIC programmer and want all kinds of great assembly
and database libraries, call EllTech at 404-928-8960.
