AUCTION.EXE was created with a rather limited intent: to make the annual
gifts and crafts "Time and Talent" auction of the First Reformed Church of
Cary, NC easier to handle. It's not particularly elegant. But it achieves
its purpose fairly well... most of the important functions needed for a
church or charity auction are included, it isn't too difficult to master
and when things go wrong the program usually recovers (or restarts, if
necessary) gracefully and without losing much of its hard-gained data.
There are three executable files, AUCTION.EXE, SETUPAUC.EXE and
PRINTLOG.EXE. The main program, AUCTION.EXE, will present the user with
menu screens to handle basic auction functions. It is small, fairly fast
and reasonably robust.
SETUPAUC.EXE is invoked by AUCTION.EXE in the course of preparing for an
upcoming auction.
The PRINTLOG.EXE file has (so far) never been needed. It will simply print
out the transaction log recorded by the AUCTION program should that program
become unusable for any reason. It can also be invoked from AUCTION.EXE.
