JOURNEY V1.0
INTRODUCTION:
Journey is a utility to maintain and search timetables for routes between
two places.
The program is basically in two parts, one to enter and edit timetables,
and one to search them for the best journey.
The program is still in a relatively early state and I hope to release a
version with an improved user interface soon.
DISCLIAMER: The author believes this program to be correct (with the
exception of any known problems documented here). This does not mean that
the program is warrantied for any purpose. Responsibility for checking the
correctness of any input/output resides with the user.
------Advertisment---------------------------------------------------------
Other software available
XFILE 1.1 - Avoid the 50 Icon limit and allow icons in ANY application to
be changed on screen. Shareware.
NOREV 1.2 - Prevent reverse translation of OPL object code. This product
is individually tailored to prevent other users from accessing
your protected programs and so will only work if registered.
Registration costs 10.

Please note that entended correspondence will not be entered into with
unregistered users. I will answer letters if possible when a SAE is
included but I give no guarantee to do so. Future versions may be sent
to registered users only depending on feedback given.
INSTALLATION :
The following files are provided and should be copied into the appropraite
directories.
JOURNEY.OPO any /OPO/ directory
JOURNEY1.LIB
RJSLIB1.LIB*
XXXX.LOC /rjs/journey/ directory (internal drive only)
XXXX.MOD
XXXX.PRO
XXXX.JRY
XXXX.TAB
* = Same file as in XFILE11 and APACK11 and NOREV12.
HOW TO USE :
The following notes are that, notes. Full documentation is intended for
future versions but this may depend on the number of registered users.
(there is little point in documenting a program if only I find it of use)
Setting up:
To use the program you first have to enter the timetables using the SETUP
option from the main menu.
Files should be created in the following order.
a) LOCATIONS : details of the various stop points in each timetable
b) MODES : details of the journey's mode ir Bus, Train etc..
c) PROTOTYPES : A general layout of a journey giving the average times
between the stops made within a journey.
d) JOURNEY : Details of the Specific journeys within the timetable. These
details are defaulted from the associated prototype to save typing.
e) TIMETABLE : The final file. This is automatically generated from the
above files.
Once you have set up the data the rest should be self explanatory, but
please feel free to write if you have problems.
The XXXX.* files provided are for example only. Please delete them before
entering your own data. (unless you wish to travel between Edinburgh,
Aberdeen and Cruden Bay).
CURRENT LIMITATIONS/PROBLEMS:
- Error checking is limited especially relating to checks for files existing.
- EDIT/VIEW/DELETE option has a tendancy to skip records. This does not
actually cause any problems, but is a little annoying. I do not plan to
correct this because the next release will probably have a redesigned
user interface
- It is planned that the dialog screens will be altered as part of the
new user interface in future versions. This will make using the software
easier.
- Data files must be on internal drive. This will change in later versions.
- File names are currently fixed. It is invisaged that future versions will
run as a normal application and allow multiple data files.
- Searches for journeys starting before midnight but ending afterwards are
currently not implemented (exepect in one particular case). This is not a
bug, but a deliberate ommission at this time.
- Future changes will include a means of defining a way of setting up info
on times to travel between one location and annother when this is not via
a timetables servive, ie It takes 2 minutes to get from Aberdeen railway
station and Aberdeen bus station. This will allow these to be set as
different locations and give more accurate journey statistics.
COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME.
