-

- instead of the beginning of the list.
-
-
- 08-27-95
-
- TeleShoppe has been TOTALLY rewritten to only contain our code. Prior
- releases of TeleShoppe used third party libraries that took a lot of
- memory to load.
-
- The Instructions file (TSHOP.INS) was changed so that you may now
- customize it with color @ codes.
-
- Memory requirements were lowered by allocating only the memory needed
- by the amount of categories your system contains. Prior releases had
- a set number of categories that could be shown. Version SE removes this
- requirement.
-
- TConfig has been rewritten to allow the insertion of information for
- CHECKS and other items. All Database routines have been optimized for
- speed.
-
- Added Online CHECK support for your own or Automated Transaction Services
- check service. See the README.ATS for full details on setting up an
- electronic check charge account.
-
- Added a new program TELESEND! that will automatically send and archive
- your online checks if your using the ATS service.
-
- Updated 2TSHOP (Version 1.7) to work with the new database format of
- TeleShoppe SE 01.
-
- Added PST support (Canadian, Foriegn) - This tax if set to yes will
- act like a state tax in that if the state/province code matches, PST
- will be charged to all items.
-
- Added a feature for systems that have over 45 categories to remember
- where it came from, so that if a customer views category number 145
- it will start the list back at that point. The user also has the
- option of selecting a command B) to return to the B)eginning of the
- listing.
-
- Removed requirement for the @TOTAL@ to be at the very end of your receipt.
- You can now put any @ code in your receipt and invoice.txt files in any
- order.
-
- Added StockNum to INVOICE data in the write_invoice fields
- (The stocknumber will be written to the sysops invoice only, after
- each line item has been printed)
