- S3A COLLECT Version 1.2 READ.ME file
- -------------------------------------
-
- Welcome to my Collection Manager V1.2
-
- The archive should contain the following files:
-
- \APP\S3ACOLL2.APP Main program.
-
- \APP\S3ACOLL\S3ACOLLH.OVL Optional Help file.
- \APP\S3ACOLL\S3ACOLLP.OVL Optional Print file.
-
- \OPD\S3APRINT.DYL Optional Print file.
-
- README.NEW 'Get you started' instructions for new users (This file).
- README.V11 Instructions on upgrading from V1.1.
-
- REGISTER.TXT Details on how to register the program.
- LICENCE.TXT A legal licence.
-
- HISTORY.TXT Details of the various upgrades the program has gone through.
-
- S3ACOLL2.DOC Full instructions in Word for Windows format.
- S3ACOLL2.TXT Initial instructions in ASCII Text format.
-
- DATA.ZIP An example set of data files.
-
- This is a fairly complex program, so I would strongly encourage you to
- read the instructions and work through the tutorial. In particular, read the IMPORTANT
- note in this file before you start to put in any data.
-
- However, if you still insist on flying blind:
-
- 1. Put S3ACOLL2.APP in your \APP\ directory
-
- 2. If you want to use the optional On-Line Help (Highly recommended)
- put the file S3ACOLLH.OVL into an \APP\S3ACOLL\ directory.
-
- 3. If you want to use the optional Print option put the file
- S3ACOLLP.OVL into the \APP\S3ACOLL\ directory and the file
- S3APRINT.DYL into an \OPD\ directory. Note that this file is
- common to all my programs, so if you have more than one of
- them you only need one copy of this file.
-
- 4. Install (PSION-I) and go for it !!
-
-
- IMPORTANT NOTE
- --------------
- Before you enter any data you really need to decide what you will want the program to
- accomplish. In particular you need to decide what will be grouped in the 'Names' fields
- and what will go into the 'Categories' fields. The difference to remember is that the
- filter function will operate on the 'Categories' and the Text search will work on the
- 'Names' fields. The other aspect to consider is the 'Sorting'. If you sort on
- Category the order of the categories will be the order in which they were entered using
- the 'Enter Category' option, so make sure you enter them in the order you want.
-
- If you do get a problem, PLEASE read the full instructions first.
-
- All comments, and registrations, gratefully received.
