PC-FILE+ version 1.0 ENHANCEMENTS
---------------------------------
(compared to PC-File version 4, disk 2916):
* Far faster speed
*Eliminated the multiple program files on disk. All of pc-file is now in
one program file. Easier to install, use, and share. Much faster "chai-
ning" from one module to another.
* Context sensitive HELP windows.
* Much easier to learn and use. Command structure better organized.
* Improved subdirectory support.
* New menus make PC-File even easier to learn and use.
* "Setup" is much easier to use.
* Help, error, message windows movable to allow viewing underneath.
* A new TEACH mode can be turned on/off. When on, it automatically
provides the help screen associated with the prompt being requested.
* The BIN command is no longer necessary. PC-File+ keeps track
of binary fields automatically (through the sort).
* New CLONE routine makes cloning a snap.
* New Labels printing program. Very flexible and easy to use. Draw
(paint) your label format.
* Twice as many records allowed (65533 records maximum).
* Relational database retrievals are now a standard feature.
* Defining new databases is easier and more flexible:
Choose from a "Paint" the input screen mode, or
a fill-in-the-blanks mode
* Greatly enhanced report writer
* Calculated fields greatly improved
* Improved Find command. You can AND and OR your finds.
* Comparison searches improved
* GLObal update/delete
* DOS commands can be executed at any time
* New UNDELETE feature can recover deleted records
* A third color can be specified, to highlight field names on the
data display screens.
* A field can now contain BOTH an edit mask and a constant.
* PCFix can also removes deleted records.
* Import and export can handle selected records, with operator override
* Import can now import a pcfile database, changing field lengths if
necessary. This eliminates the need for a "merge" program. Allows
"merging" selected records.
* A "Duplicate record" reporting utility has been added.
Note: RAM memory requirements:
240K in the partition
+80K if editing print command files (report define, option "C")
