- ──> Feature Enhancement For Printing
- Infodex Version 2.19 adds "Lines Per Page", "Blank Lines
- After Record", and "Page Break After Each Record" options to
- the print dialog box. This allows users to customize the
- number of lines on each printed page, the number of blank
- lines that are printed after each record, and whether or not
- the records are printed as a one-per-page format. Other
- minor issues were also addressed. See the file INFODEX.REV
- for details.
-
-
- What's New in Infodex Version 2.18
-
- ──> Feature Enhancement
- This version of Infodex adds the ability for the user to
- eliminate the text delimiter when exporting records. (This
- feature was added by user request.)
-
-
- What's New in Infodex Version 2.17
-
- ──> Problem Fixes
- This release of Infodex fixes a couple of problems. The
- first problem was that an error message #10164 (Invalid Key
- Number) would occur for every record when attempting to
- import a delimited text file. This problem is now fixed. A
- detailed explanation can be found in the file INFODEX.REV.
- (This problem was introduced in version 2.15.) The second
- problem was an obscure bug where the Decimal Places value on
- the Edit Control screen would not be saved the first time the
- control was created. The user had to edit the control and
- re-enter the decimal places value to get this feature to work
- properly. This problem has also been fixed.
-
-
-
- What's New in Infodex Version 2.16
-
- ──> Feature Enhancements!
- This release of Infodex adds mouse drag & drop support on the
- field layout screen. To drag & drop a prompt and its field,
- simply click on the right bracket (if you are using field
- delimiters, or the "field handle" if you are not using
- delimiters), and drag the field to a new location. This
- release of Infodex also adds improved printing support. The
- fields are now positioned in the same relative location as
-

- they appear on the editing screen. For a complete list of
- changes, see the file INFODEX.REV.

-
- What's New in Infodex Version 2.15
-
- ──> Maintenance Release - Memory Issues Addressed
- Several of our users have reported receiving a Runtime Error
- 216 shortly after executing Infodex on a memory-limited
- system. We have attempted to reduce the memory requirements
- of the database manager (in protected mode), which should
- make it much easier for users of memory-limited systems to
- use Infodex without errors. Several other minor issues were
- addressed, including enhanced network support.
-
-
- What's New in Infodex Version 2.14
-
- ──> Two Executable Files!!! READ THIS!!!
- This version of Infodex includes 2 executable files for
- Infodex. The previous version of INFODEX.EXE was a
- protected-mode only application (286 or higher required),
- that required at least 1MB of extended memory. Many users
- requested a version of Infodex that would run on memory-
- limited systems. To address this, we have created 2
- versions. The protected mode version has been RENAMED to
- INFODEXP.EXE. (If you are upgrading from a previous version
- of Infodex that worked well on your system, change your
- executable file to INFODEXP.EXE!) The second (new)
- executable file is a real-mode application (8088 or higher),
- that will require at least 500K of conventional memory, with
- an additional 512K of EMS recommended for better performance.
- This file is named INFODEX.EXE, and is recommended if you are
- running on a memory limited system that has EMS, but no
- extended memory available. For more information, see the
- Memory Requirements section of the documentation.
-
- ──> Sample files included.
- STSI has included a sample database file (SAMPLE1.DAT) for
- users to use when getting started with Infodex. This should
- help you become familiar with how Infodex operates, without
- needing to complete an entire template right away.
-
- ──> Minor problem fixes.
- A few minor problems have been fixed including:
-
- 1. F3 was not working properly to allow users to change the
- database description that was displayed on the top of the
- editing screen.
-
- 2. The printing status screen has been updated with several
- cosmetic changes.
-
- 3. A heap-leak problem was fixed. (This could have caused
- intermittent hangs or screen corruption with Infodex after
- extremely long periods of operation.)

- What's New in Infodex Version 2.13
-
- ──> Minor feature enhancements.
- Several helpful features have been added, such as the
- highlighter bar in the browser being displayed on the current
- record when Browse is selected, instead of going to the first
- record. Printing support has been enhanced to allow users to
- print only the current record, in addition to all records in
- the database. Users can cancel the printing process at any
- time by pressing Escape. The database libraries have been
- updated to the newest version, making database access faster,
- especially when rebuilding the index file. Also added a
- couple of message boxes to the "Next" and "Previous" routines
- to inform users when they have reached the last record and
- have "wrapped around" to the first or last record in the
- database.
-
- ──> Problem fix for the "Delete Field" option when rebuilding a
- database.
- When users attempted to delete a field from an existing
- database, corruption of the database file could occur. Any
- fields AFTER the deleted field could show signs of
- corruption, lost data, etc. This problem has been fixed!
-
- ──> Problem with Infodex Version 1 importing has been fixed.
- The file ISAMIO.EXE, which is required to properly convert
- Infodex version 1 files to version 2 was not included in the
- distribution package for version 2.12.
-
-
-
- What's New in Infodex Version 2.12
-
- ──> Import Infodex Version 1 Files!
- Infodex now allows the importing of files created with
- Infodex version 1.x.
-
- ──> Problem Fix For Importing
- One noteworthy problem has been fixed when importing
- delimited text files. If the total length of any one field
- in the text file was equal to 0, the database would not
- import properly.
-
- ──> Cosmetic Changes
- Several cosmetic changes have been implemented, including a
- notes indicator that shows that the field it is attached to
- is a Memo field. A few minor color changes have been made,
- and layout settings have been modified. For a complete list
- of changes, please see the file INFODEX.REV.
-
-
-
- What's New in Infodex Version 2.11
-
- ──> Optional Field Delimiters!

- the template. To toggle this setting, use the Configuration

-
-
-
- Options screen, and check the Use Field Delimiters field.
- (Default=On)
-
- ──> Problem Fixes
- Several problems have been addressed in this version,
- including a runtime error when attempting to import a

- list of changes, see the file INFODEX.REV.

-

- the database.
-
- ──> Enhanced Searching Capabilities!

- lift on Infodex. Monochrome color schemes have been updated
- to provide a more consistent appearance.
-
-
-

-
- ──> Update For The High-Tech Trader!
- Infodex Version 2.02 has added support to read "The High-Tech
- Trader" data files created by The Bertha BBS. These data
- files contain computerized "classified ads" to allow buyers
- and sellers to place and respond to product ads. To download
