Version 3.00. First general release of program.
Version 3.10. Corrected an exit error that displayed a wrong color if
program was run on a mono system. Corrected a couple of errors in the
documentation. Added up and down arrow keys to the record scan options.
Arrows on enhanced keyboards or key pad arrow keys with <num-lock> off.
Did not think to add these before and thought they might be more
convenient for some.
Version 3.11. Added Key Definitions to the Help routine. Modified the
Help routine and some of the key prompts to make them clearer to the
user. Correctly updated the documentation.
Version 3.12. Some more minor changes. I now have the program use the
users' system background color on exiting the program. I was changing
it to black, my system background color, and have just figured out
how to restore the original colors prior to exiting Turbo Pascal
programs. It took me a long time to figure this out and makes exits
look that much better in those programs where I use blue backgrounds
inside programs.
Version 3.13. More minor changes and updates. Added HUCKABEY.TXT,
SOFTWARE.TXT and ARCHIVE.TXT to the archive. See them for details.
Version 3.20. More changes, fixes, spelling, etc. Removed the arrow
keys from the prompts. They are still operational, but I thought it
looked cleaner without them being displayed. Added left (previous)
and right (next) arrow keys to the acceptable keys both from the Main
Screen as well as the Edit Screen. The Search option has changed
slightly, and hopefully it is better. See LABEL.DOC for details. I
was tempted to make this release 4.0, but didn't.
If you have any problems with this release please notify me. I am
trying to make it clearer and as easy to use as possible.
Version 3.21. Did some work on the (printer) Code routine so that
input errors are handled better. On some errors the invalid input
data was still being sent to the printer. This does not happen now!
If you do have a printer error you no longer have to retype in your
printer codes. Printer Codes are now handled the same as the Search
Criteria.
Version 3.22. Corrected spelling errors. Just discovered that the
date in the header was not displayed correctly. The year was being
cut-off. Fixed these errors and made a few other cosmetic changes.
Changed the sound default to OFF. If you want sound effects,
warnings, etc., you can turn the sound on once the program has
started. This was a limited release update.
Version 4.00. I made so many changes that I thought it best to make
this 4.00. In another program I added a verification routine for
each new record to check for duplicate entires and I added it to
this program. Now after each additional record the database is
checked to make sure that the same first/last name is not already
in the database. For some this may or may not be a good thing. Two
people might have the same names, but I figure this is going to be
rare. You can always use middle initials. (grin)
If the full path and file name exceeds 40 characters only the
database name is displayed. This is to prevent the display from
wrapping around to the next line.
The header line has been added to the Edit/Add Records screen.
The <A>ll Labels had been changed to <A>ll Records. You are now
prompted on whether you want to print labels for each record or
to print out all data in all records at 8 per numbered page. I
had not given thought to a data/records dump to the printer.
The documentation has been updated as well as modified to try and
make it clearer. The on-line help has also been updated.
There may be other changes, but the program's operation remains
pretty much the same.
