File Express is an information management program written for
the IBM Personal Computer and other compatible computers using
PC-DOS. This allows easy manipulation of small and medium sized
databases using menu driven commands. File Express allows you
to create and maintain files of facts, figures, names, mailing
lists, patient records or what have you.

The ORDER.BAT file on the Utility Disk may be used to print out an Order
Form and a Mailing List form. The Order Form may be used to register your
copy of File Express if you decide to do so, or to order the latest version
of the program. You may also order extra printed User's Guides if you don't
want to print out the disk version. The regular File Express Program Disk and
Utility Disk labels may also be purchased. The Mailing List form can be
used to send Expressware your name and address so that we may add you to our
mailing list so that you can be notified of future updates and product
announcements. The form may also be used to send us comments about File
Express. If you have received this copy of File Express from a friend, please
take the time to send in the Mailing List form.
Please read WHATSNEW.DOC on the Utility Disk to see all the new features and
enhancements that have been made to File Express.
Note:
If you are upgrading from a version
of File Express that is earlier than 2.5
you should delete any stack files from your
Data Disks. These are the files that have
an extension of ".STK". You can do this by
inserting your Data Disk into drive A and
typing:
DEL A:*.STK <Enter>
If your database files contain any deleted
records you should rebuild this deleted
record stack file by selecting <7> (File
Maintenance) from the Main Menu and then
selecting <3> (Rebuild Deleted Record Stack).
This will cause File Express to go through
the entire index for that file and look for
deleted record slots that can be used the
next time you enter data.
