- WHATSNEW.DOC EView 5.2
-
- Features new since version 3.1 include:
-
- Version 5.2 Adds "Append DUPLICATE of this record to database" function."
-
- Version 5.1 Network version.
-
- Version 4.51 Corrects an oversight that disallowed dBase IV memo files.
-
- OPTIONS MENU. Press F10 for a pulldown menu of EView functions.
-
- CREATE Create a new database.
-
- APPEND Append records from disk file. Legal formats include CSV,
- DBF and SDF.
-
- ZAP ZAP database. Permanently remove all records for database.
-
- DIALING. To make life just a little easier, a modem dialer has been
- added. This may be convenient for persons who keep mail list
- with phone numbers in dBase files. EView accepts phone
- numbers from either alpha or numeric fields. Attempting to
- dial a non phone number field does nothing.
-
- INDEXING. For significantly faster searches, EView now includes options
- for INDEXING and REINDEXING. EView indexes have an .EDX
- extension. EView version 4.50 allows multiple key indexing.
-
- ADD BLANK Add a blank record to current database.
-
- DELETE On/Off Toggle. The SET DELETE condition may now be toggled ON
- and OFF by pressing the 'D' key. A message at the bottom
- left corner of the screen indicates the current SET DELETE
- condition. After toggling SET DELETE, the condition is
- activated as soon as the screen is changed. Probably the
- fastest way to activate a new SET DELETE ON is to press the
- 'PgDn' or 'PgUp' or 'B' or 'T' key.
-
- DELETE Mark current record for deletion. Use pacK to PACK database.
-
- VIEW Up to 40 fields in the current record may be viewed on one
- screen by pressing the 'V' key. An option allows the screen
- to be printed. If there are 20 or fewer fields, fields are
- truncated at 68 characters. If the number of fields is
- greater than 20, fields are truncated at 25 characters.
-
- COPY The database can be copied to a disk file by pressing the 'W'
- key. Output format options include comma delimited (CSV),
- tab delimited (TAB), Lotus WK1, SDF and space separated
- fields (ASC). The default name, which can be changed, is the
- name of the current database, and the extension is that of
- the output file type.
-

- would be appreciated. If you send $25 or more you will receive, when
- available, the next update of the EView program. Please state the version
- of EView that you currently have. Send check or money order to:
