ADDRESS CONTROLLER
Improvements During 1990
01/20/90
*** Elimination of the "WAIT" sign during file Read/Writes and menu
changes.
*** Totally new SORTING routine. Many times faster than the old
routine, and will now sort up to 8,100 records.
*** Totally new MERGE FILES routine. Many times faster than before.
Files are read in 64k chunks rather than one record at a time.
03/25/90
*** Added File Directory POP-UP Window available from anywhere in program
by hitting the "F2" key.
*** Added POP-UP Window of ".RAN" address files for choosing an "Existing"
file for editing or printing.
*** Rewrite of "Fn" keys routines - Shortened compiled program 27k.
*** Rewrite of "UTILITIES" routines. Condensed to three routines, eliminating
redundant "SHELL" & "BACKUP". Shortened compiled program 15k.
*** Compressed "ADDRESS.EXE" using "LZEXE-91" - Reduced file size 40%.
*** Changed "Data Entry Screen" slightly to make room for a "Total Records
In File" display at top of screen.
*** Changed "Names Too Long" routine so that the screen warning will appear
whenever "long name" records are displayed.
*** Changed screen border color to "medium blue".
*** Produced a smaller "UnRegistered" version of the instruction manual to
reduce Upload/Download times.
*** Eliminated offer of "Printed Instruction Manual" for $10 extra.
*** Eliminated "CONVERT.ZIP, OLDSTYLE.EXE & INSTALL.BAT" from "Unregistered"
version.
*** Lowered program price from $39/$49 to $19 effective March 25, 1990.
Any older (higher) registration fees received from Users AFTER 03/25/90
will have the new price of $19 deducted from the amount paid, and the
Registered User will be sent a refund check for the difference.
Software ordered will be shipped immediately, but there will be a delay
of 30 days on refunds to allow time for "out of state" checks to clear.
03/29/90
*** Improved "Cursor Movement" commands in "Data Entry" screen.
IMPROVED - "Page Down" now moves cursor to the "Comment" field.
NEW - "Up/Down Arrow" keys for field to field cursor movement.
NEW - "Control + Y" command will "delete" an entire field entry.
04/05/90
*** Fix small "bug" in "Double Check Your File Name" routine. Program would
not allow operator to select a different file without first going to the
"Main Menu".
10/18/90
*** Added a safety routine to the SORTING & MERGING Sub-Routines to help
avoid accidental "Loss" of data files when "Disk Full" or "Disk Error"
problems are encountered. When this situation now occurs, a warning
window appears and the Sub-Routine operation is stopped.
*** New feature. File selection can now be done from inside of the
"File Directory" Window (F2 Key). This is now possible in the following
routines: COPY, DELETE or RENAME files, and also in "MERGE" files. Just
use the Up/Down Arrows to move the "Highlighted Scroll-Bar" to the
proper file, and then hit the "Enter" key. Use "Escape" to exit the
window without making a file selection.
