THE BOOK SHELF v1.00 Brian Bodley Registration $ 20.00 Canadian
DATA JUL91 BOOKS BODLEY
FILES: books.exe printer.def readme
New Release
The Book Shelf is a simple data base program designed to provide an
easy and convenient way of cataloging books, magazines, publications,
etc.
No attempt has been made to emulate formal library practices such as
using the Library of Congress or Dewey-Decimal Systems. The program
provides features such as:
* Adding, editing and deleting books;
* Printing book description records or just titles;
* Viewing book description records;
* Listing authors, book titles, series names, publ
* Customizable printer definition and selectable print size.
The Book Shelf requires a minimum of 256k of available RAM to execute
properly. It runs under MS-DOS 3.x or higher on the IBM PC, XT, AT
or compatible, and may be used with color (recommended) or monochrome
displays.
It is recommended that a hard drive be used for the benefits of speed
and storage capacity, although the program will work on a floppy based
system.
Virtually any printer may be used. The PRINTER.DEF file that is provided
should work with most printers. In the event that the printed copy is
not correct, a function under the OPTIONS menu allows the user to customize
the definition file.
When the program is first installed the following files should be present:
BOOKS.EXE, the main program file;
PRINTER.DEF, the default printer definition file;
README, general program information and registration form.
To run The Book Shelf simply type BOOKS <CR>. There are no other
installation procedures required for this product.
The top of the screen is called the COMMAND LINE. It contains a series
of menu names; each one with a highlighted initial. To select a menu
simply type the ALT key at the same time as the initial of the menu
you wish. A menu will appear on the screen containing a list of functions
for that menu. Using the horizontal arrow keys will allow flipping
through each of the menus.
A menu function may be selected in one of two ways. First, by using
the up and down arrow keys, move the cursor bar until it rests on top
of the desired function and then press the ENTER key. The second method
is to simply type the highlighted character for the desired function.
Each menu groups together related functions such as editing, printing,
viewing, etc.
For an in depth discussion of the functions in this program, a printed
reference manual is available upon registration - along with any
technical assistance that may be required.
Please remember that this is a Shareware product and as such it would
be much appreciated that, if you should find this program useful, you
would register with the author. I would be interested in hearing
your comments or suggestions concerning any aspect of The Book Shelf that
would help improve this product to meet your needs.

money order for $20.00 in Canadian funds and send to:
