- What is WINCOIN?
-
- WINCOIN is a Windows application that tracks coin inventory, on
- orders and wants. Over 90 category types (ie. Indian cents),
- including grading information, history and ability for notes, are
- included. Coin Master List for category types includes all years
- and varieties. Shareware version includes Half Cents, Large
- Cents, Small Cents, Two Cent Pieces, and Three Cent Pieces.
- Registered version provides Master Coin List for all other
- category types, including gold and commemmoratives, over 4300
- entries.
-
- WINCOIN features include:
-
- Data bases for Categories (ie. Cents, Nickels) and Category Types
- (Buffalo nickels, Jefferson nickels) are provided and are user
- modifiable for new issues.
-
- Category Types include grading information, history, and type notes.
- Category Types can be resequenced to keep new issues in the proper
- order.
-
- Master Coin data bases for each Category Type can include all US coins
- and can even be set up to handle foreign coins if desired. All
- varieties can be maintained. Newly found varieties of older coins can
- be entered and put into their proper position in the master coin
- list.
-
- Grading Templates can be set up by Category Type. This allows grading
- schemes to be customized to suit the way you like to collect your
- coins. Only those grades established for each Category Type are
- displayed on the panels and reports. New grades can easily be added
- and placed in the proper sequence.
-
- Coin Maintenance panel provides for current inventory as well as On
- Orders and Wants. Text can be associated with any coin, if desired.
- A FAST ADD feature allows for easy conversion of current inventory.
-
- Reporting capabilities include on line and printed. Current inventory
- reports, wants, orders can all be printed. Version are available
- on-line and as printed reports. Many options can be set to customize
- the reports.
-
- Positions for grades which do not exist are blacked-out, so at a
- glance you can see which coins you need to complete your collection.
-
- Capability for notes to be entered into the system. Eliminate all
- those pieces of paper and have the information at your fingertips.
-
- Prices for coins can be kept in the system. A price report is
- available.
-
- File design was done with speed and disk access optimization in
- mind. Only data entered is stored. For example, no space is
- reserved for each grade for a coin. Only grades with inventory
- are on disk. System Utilities are available to compress and
- optimize your files. This frees up disk space for deleted items
- and sequences files to keep "like" items together.
-
- This is a shareware program and once registered , all future
- updates to the program can be used at no additional cost

- INSTALLATION
-
- ******************************************************************
- New Installation
-
- To install the evaluation version of WINCOIN, create a
- subdirectory and copy all the included files into this
- subdirectory. Copy the file VBRUN300.DLL, distributed separately,
- and available for free) to this same subdirectory.
-
- If you have other programs that require VBRUN300.DLL it is better
- to put a single copy in the Windows\System subdirectory rather
- than have duplicates taking-up space on your hard drive.
- GRID.VBX and THREED.VBX, included, can also be put in this
- directory. Use the VBX and DLL files with the latest dates.
-
