│ WhatsNew.Doc: Description of JEPRS' improvements │
╘═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
****NEW****NEW****NEW****NEW****
JEPRS now has a special COMPETITIVE UPGRADE option for users of competing
software. See the end of this file for more information!
****NEW****NEW****NEW****NEW****
Improvements from version 2.0 to 2.5:
FORMATTING:
AUTOMATIC BIBLIOGRAPHY GENERATION
JEPRS can now automatically generate a bibliography in either
WordPerfect 5.x or PC-Write 3.0 format. All you need to do is place
special JEPRS codes in your document. For example, if you want to cite
reference #224, then enter "{J#224}" (without the quotes) into your
document. Then specify that file as an input word processor file on the
Format Menu, and the program will read the codes and output the correct
references.
WRITING WORDPERFECT 5.X AND PC-WRITE 3.0 FILES
On the Format Menu, JEPRS can produce your output in PC-Write
3.0 or WordPerfect 5.x format. This allows users to use special func-
tions of their word processor that JEPRS itself doesn't support (such
as full justification, downloadable soft fonts, etc.). This also
prevents you from having to enter printer codes, since presumably
your word processor is already set up for your printer.
SORT BY AUTHOR, YEAR, OR JOURNAL
Sorting by author has long been a feature of JEPRS. But now
with version 2.5, you can sort by author, year, or journal before your
references are output.
INSERT PERIODS AFTER AUTHORS' INITIALS
The standard method for authors' names is like this:
"Miranda LM, Wright WE"
But sometimes you will want formatted output that looks like this:
"Miranda L.M., Wright W.E."
JEPRS now sports the ability to insert these periods after the
authors' initials. You can specify this separately for each
Format Style you create.
SEARCHING:
SORTING IS *MUCH* FASTER
Because of a change in the way JEPRS accesses your computer's
memory, sorting time has been dramatically reduced.
SORT BY AUTHOR, YEAR, OR JOURNAL
As with the Format Menu, you can now sort by author, year, or
journal, instead of just by author.
ADDING/EDITING REFERENCES:
EDIT MULTI-LINE FIELDS AS ONE SCROLLABLE LINE
There are several fields on the Add Reference Screen that are
several lines long, such as title and keywords. In previous versions,
you had to edit each line separately. Due to a number of requests by
registered users, version 2.5 now edits multi-line fields as a single,
scrollable line. This makes it much easier to edit these fields.
MOUSE SUPPORT ON MENUS
New in version 2.5 is the ability to use a mouse for input at
JEPRS' menus. In order for this feature to work, you must have a
Microsoft-compatible mouse, and you must have the mouse driver (called
"Mouse.Com") installed before you start up JEPRS.
REMOVAL OF REGISTRATION REMINDER SCREEN
Registered users of version 2.5 will learn a simple trick that
will prevent the appearance of the registration reminder screen (this
is the Opening Screen that reminds you how to register your use of the
program, and then tells you to "Press F1 for ordering information, or
any other key to continue"). This results in a nicer entry into the
program without any nagging. It is a "Thank You" for paying for the
program.
IMPORTING: MED2GO
Registered users of version 2.5 will receive a free utility
called Med2Go (also available on CompuServe). Med2Go works with JEPRS,
or any other bibliographic system, to read MedLine, BRS/Colleague,
ERIC, PsycLit, and comma-delimited files, and produce either MedLine
or comma-delimited output files.
****NEW****NEW****NEW****NEW****
COMPETITIVE UPGRADE OPTION FOR REGISTERING JEPRS:
Now you can get JEPRS direct from the author at a super low price.
For a limited time, you can "upgrade" from the software you're currently
using to the latest version of JEPRS. For just $24.95 you will get all the
benefits of full registration: The latest version of JEPRS; 6 months of
free customer support; a 60 page, ring-bound, laser-printed manual; and
a reduced price on future upgrades.
To qualify for this competitive upgrade, you must provide the name
of the program you are currently using to manage your references (even if
it is just a generic database program like dBase IV), the version number of
the program, and the name & address of the company that makes it. You can
supply this either written down on a 3x5 index card or by pressing your
[PrintScreen] key when the "opening screen" of your program is displayed
(the "opening screen" is the one that displays the name & version number of
the program, as well as the name & address of the company that makes it).
Then all you have to do is write "COMPETITIVE UPGRADE" at the top of
the JEPRS Order Form (see the file called Order.Doc), cross out the regular
price and write in "$24.95", and include the 3x5 index card or screen dump
that shows the program you are using (see previous paragraph). To take
advantage of this special offer, you must send a check or money order
directly to the author; you cannot register through the Public software
Library. THIS OFFER EXPIRES ON 01 SEPTEMBER 1991.
