FILES
The following files are packaged with STRUTIL.ZIP
Strutil.exe <--- executable program (MUST BE IN SAME DIR AS STORE PROGRAM)
Strutil.doc <--- You are reading it right now
NOTE: If you are haven't registered LIVESTORE, then any Text files
you create will be saved BUT not used because the LIVESTORE is limited to
handle 3 departments until it is registered.
NOTE: STRUTIL.EXE requires the presence of BRUN45.EXE either in the
same directory as STRUTIL or accessible via PATH. If you set
your library in autoexec.bat and all the brun files there,
then you have no problems..
SET MYLIB = C:\MYLIB
Be sure to put all your brun*.exe files in the mylib directory!
also be sure to have the brt71efr.exe file there for the Storex
program to operate correctly.
NEED FOR STRUTIL.EXE
If you intend to run STOREX v?.? then you will need this utility to create
your sales information files. They are now "Random Access" files which lets
us pick up all the sales information without buyer intervention.
All the caller/buyer needs to do is pick which record they are buying and
give us there name and address, credit card info etc.. and we pick up the
entire order from the record number in the "Random Access" file that this
utility will help you create.
The menu is fairly simple to understand....
First choice is to:
View CFG file - Write or Re-Write CFG file
a: When viewing CFG file, the program defaults to storex.cfg
b: When editing an existing CFG file, we look for storex.cfg
Second choice is to:
View NDX file - Write or Re-Write NDX file
a: Store.ndx file holds the names of the Random files for each dept.
b: Editing the file is simply changing the names of the dept files.
Third choice is to:
List TXT Files - View a TXT file - Write or Re-Write a TXT file
a: Listing TXT files comes from reading your store.ndx file
b: Viewing TXT file comes from the existing *.txt that you create
with this program.
c: Write or Re-Writing the TXT file allows you to add more sales
info records into each department's TXT files.
Fourth choice is to:
List LOG file - Delete Log File
a: The store creates a log file of each visitor which you can view
b: Deleting the file creates no problem because the STore will create
one when the next caller visits.
Fifth choice is to:
View order file - Delete Order file
a: Store creates a file called STORE.ORD and you can view this file
anytime without any problem.
b: Deleting this file means you have no record on any existing orders
so we suggest that you print the file prior to deleting it!
Sixth choice is to:
Get out of this program..
a: Simple enough right!
NOTE: The "Random Access" file consists of six fields.. listed below:
1. StockNumber allowing: 12 characters
2. ItemName allowing: 40 characters
3. ModelNumber allowing: 20 characters
4. Description allowing: 60 characters
5. Description allowing: 60 characters
6. ItemPrice allowing: 10 characters
All future updates of strutil.exe will stick to these fields.. we will only
consider adding fields should enough people convince us that they are needed.
We will NOT change the current fields nor delete any.. so any files that you
create now will be good even if we add fields. Should fields be added, we
will supply an option at that time to convert all current files to the new
field format..
Any problems can be reported to The Livewire BBS 609-235-5297 or if you are
a registered sysop or member call 609-866-2551.
