Bulk V1.4 8/90
A configuration file (BULK.INI) has been added. The file items are the
same as the input screen with the addition of three new items ...
SCREENS, INPUT MODULE & 200 Valid Records Check. This allows you to
bypass the documentation screens, as well as the finishing screen, the
input screen and the 200 record check. This should help to incorporate
Bulk into a batch file routine, combined with other code.
Details on setting up the configuration file are contained inside the
default BULK.INI file. This file must reside in the same directory as
BULK.EXE
Bulk V1.3 8/90
Bulk now checks for 200 valid records. If there is less, the user has
an option to quit execution or to continue. Other bugs have been fixed
... esp. when using very large databases of over 1500 - 2000 records.
Increased speed to the State sort routine, as well as overall speed
improvements.
Bulk V1.2 8/90
Added more user feedback to the processing screen. Bar graphs give the
user an idea of where the program is at in processing the database.
The same totals and valid record counts that would be added to the
headers labels appear on the screen as well.
Bulk V1.1 8/90
Added the current number of valid items to the header labels. Also
added the item count per group of finds to the header labels.
Bulk V1.0 7/90
This was a separate module designed to work in MList (an integrated
mailing list program for the Freeware market, developed by Cool Baby
Software). Instead of trying to code everything in one shot, as I
often do, I separated this complex procedure and made it a stand alone
application with a simplified from end. Later, through a friends
advice (Marco Ciavolino - the faithful Cool Baby Beta tester), the
front end was made open to any dBase file structure so that it could
be used as a separate standalone utility.
Bulk was not designed to be fancy.
However, it was designed to meet two criteria ...
1. That is works.
2. That is serves some useful purpose!
I've downloaded hundreds of megabytes of software in my years of
computing. Most of what I've found is shareware ... and most did not
meet the two criteria listed above. I can not imagine people paying
$25 to $50 for things that don't even work! I feel that there should
be more freeware! Then if you like it and use it, give the author
something for his time and effort.
If you find bugs or flaws with Bulk, please write to me and let me
know ... I really want this to be flawless. Give me some detail as to
what happened and a list of the hardware you were using as well as a
printout of your config.sys and autoexec.bat. Leave an address and
phone number ... I may need to get in touch with you.
