- !AMFBase 1.00 (02-Jul-91)
- =========================
- A DataBase
- ==========
- AMFBase is a simple card style database.Each card may have upto ten fields
- stored on it.Fields may be defined,and cards sorted,found,updated,etc.
-
- Click on the AMFBase icon to start.A window will appear,this is where many
- of the operations in AMFBase are carried out from.To define the field names,
- click on the Define icon,enter the appropriate names for the field titles,
- and click on OK.
-
- You can now enter the data in the boxes provided.Pressing RETURN at the end
- of one card will move onto the next.The same effect can be acheived by
- clicking on OK.Click on Clear to wipe all the data for a particular card,or
- use Cancel to bring it back.Use the arrow icons to move between cards,or
- enter a card number in the box provided,and press RETURN.
-
- Insert will insert a card before the current one,and Delete will delete the
- current card.Find will allow you to find particular cards.Enter search
- strings in the boxes provided,and click on OK.The number of cards found will
- appear,and you can go through them by using the arrow icons in the find
- window.Sort will allow you to sort the cards in a particular order.Select
- a numerical sort if the value of the datum is to be used,otherwise use an
- alphabetical sort.Click on OK to sort.
-
- Pressing menu on the AMFBase window will allow you to save the data in three
- different ways.You can save all the data,part of the data (either that which
- has been found,or a numerical section),or save the data as a text file.If
- this is done,you can select which options to include,whether to include the
- field title,and how many spaces (if at all) to indent both title and data.
-
- Preferences
- ===========
- The preferences can be seen by selecting Preferences after pressing menu on
- the !AMFBase icon.You can set whether the Delete option needs a confirm,
- whether a file is loaded on startup,whether the fields are loaded on start
- up,and whether the indentation table (how the data is saved as a text file)
- is loaded on start up.You can also determine the maximum number of cards.
