===========

This is a new release of Scanner Buff! The Comments file has
been changed. Now, individual files are written for the record's
comments. You may edit them with any ASCII editor from DOS if
you would like. Ignore the ì character; it will be inserted for
you... if you insist, its ASCII 141. The comments were changed
for several reasons: 1) disk space is saved, 2) the old comment
file containing all comments was VERY sensitive and could cause a
crash and trash of your data file! I received no reports of this
and only know that it can happen because I've tested the program I
wrote... I would hate for one of you to duplicate my errors!!!
Scanner Buff! is no longer released with SCAN.MDF and its index
files. Rather, the files are created the first time you start
the program. No data is contained in this file, however, data
may be imported from any Scanner Buff! data file created by
version 2.0 or above. If using less than a v3.50 data file, you
must merge it into a v3.50 data file if you would like to read
the comments. The text file will be created for you. Extensions
are .CMT .
Data files created by the users of this program are encouraged.
In this manner many more people from any state can enjoy the
wealth of information available. I will continue researching
data and releasing data files on various systems and counties in
the state of California. Each time Scanner Buff! is released I
also release current data files on the same BBS, so they are
available.
Important to note is the fact that Scanner Buff! will be released
commercially very soon now. You may reserve an advance copy by
registering your Shareware copy at the Shareware price. The
commercial price will be higher in order to pay the cost of
printing, etc.
Thank you for making Scanner Buff! the number one program of its
type ( not rated by me :-> ) !!! I will continue striving to
produce only a quality program with as few errors as possible...
I spend a great deal of time on error-trapping, thus increasing
the size of the program, but protecting your data.
QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS: Install all files in a sub-directory
and type:
SCAN35 or SCAN35 [/C] [/M] for Color or Monochrome (see doc's)
The program will start and SCAN.MDF will be created automatically.
If you would like to use a previous data file called SCAN.MDF either
import the data into the new data file (the other copy of SCAN.MDF
must reside in another directory, or it will be over-written) from the
search menu, or exit the program, erase the new file and its indices,
then copy the old files into the sub-directory.
