COINS-TO COPYR. 1996 JAY REDDEN ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
COINS-TO(TM)
THE IDEAL
COIN COLLECTION INVENTORY
PROGRAM FOR PC'S
COINS ENTRY:
COINS-TO will ask you to enter the coin's name (Quarter, Dime, Ect),
then its country of origin, the date the coin was made, followed
by the value of the coin, and finally, the grade of the coin (Good,
Poor, LN, Ect.).
COINS-TO IS CASE SENSITIVE:
Which means that dime, Dime, and DIME are three different names.
However, COINS-TO converts lower case to upper case as you type to
give a better appearance.
COINDAT.EXE
To create a new coin.dat file run COINDAT.EXE at the C:\COINS-TO>
prompt. Do not run COINDAT.EXE unless you want a new coin.dat
file because it will OVERWRITE or replace the old one causing you to
lose any data in the file.
USING COINS-TO.
Simply select what you wish to do from the menu. Add new coin records,
view the coin listings that you have entered by name or by value, delete
a coin record, or modify a record.
When using DELETE A RECORD or MODIFY A RECORD, the first entry of the
last name you entered will appear. The prompt will ask DELETE THIS
RECORD (Y/N)? or CHANGE THIS RECORD (Y/N)?. If this isn't the record
you wish to change or DELETE press N then Enter, the prompt will then
ask SEE NEXT RECORD (Y/N)?, so you press Y and Enter and the next
name will appear. Continue these steps until you get to the record you
want to Delete or Modify.
If you are in MODIFY A RECORD and have pressed Y for CHANGE THIS
RECORD (Y/N)? another list of options will appear:
ENTER THE NUMBER OF THE FIELD
TO CHANGE (1-5) ZERO QUITS
you will see the full list of the record with the numbers 1
to 5 to the left. If you want to change the Name press 1 and
fill in the prompt, you may change every field listed if you wish.
Once you have finished making changes press zero and Enter and you
will return to the menu.
SHORT-CUT HINT:
When you are using DELETE A RECORD, or MODIFY A RECORD you don't need
to type in the full name, just enter a few letters of the coin name
will get the coin you want or close to.
