Newsletter 1 - Fish and Hunting Expert Users
Users of the Fish and Hunting Expert Programs recommend some interesting
ways to use the Fish and Hunting Programs, and we pass them along to you.
Professional fisherman keep a lot of records, and this helps makes them
very successful. The logs bring the power and ease of the computer
to this important activity. You accumulate successful trends and
make better use of your time.
Have a neighborhood, company, or church parish accumulate information
in the logs. You really get a good scouting report which should
enable everyone to do well in fishing and hunting. The group accumulates
recipes and shares important safety information as well.
Companies can put the fishing and hunting programs on a network (they do
need a network license from us). The company then distributes the safety
information, recipes, and scouting info to all employees. This helps
employee morale tremendously as all company users accumulate and share
hunting and fishing information.
A father can easily pass along lake and other information accumulated
over a lifetime to his son(s). Church parishes and firms also have
a valuable pool information which they retain from generation to
generation.
Use of the F3 Search key in the logs and library gets you to a topic
you want instantly. No more searching for that packing list and
items on it.
The training a youngster receives using the programs develops
computer skills and knowledge he someday will need in his job or
profession.
By the way some Iowa school system hunter education instructors
recommend this program in their hunter education classes!
Users really have recognized the importance of the scouting log in your
hunt. Scouting is a vital activity and the log captures this information
easily. When after big bucks you need to record the size of bucks
visually sighted and their sheds of antlers to confirm the existence
of that big buck you will get next season. (We plan to add substantially
to the hunting program to cover more scouting technique)
If you have a recipe log or a scouting log for an area and wish to
share them, please send it along to us and we will make it available
via this newsletter.
In the logs turning off the INSERT makes entry easier sometimes.
Turn it off or on by toggling the Insert key.
Also use the TAB key to TAB over to certain areas.
Convert some logs to check lists by turning the insert off and
putting an X in the leftmost column
If you use Compuserve or any other Computer Service which lists
recipes or other messages, then you easily save important
recipes and messages to the appropriate log using the F9 key
to import the message or portions of the messages after having
saved them from the Computer Service. For example, if you use
Compuserve and access it using the TAPCIS program you save
Outdoor Forum messages in a file called either Outdoor.msg or
Outdoor.sav. Press the F9 Key after in a logs and give
this file name (include any path); pick which portions of the
messages you want using the F9 key at the beginning and end
of the messages you want and you have easily saved and stored
important messages for future use.
You capture valuable information from hunting and fishing TV
programs, videos, seminars, etc. by creating an added log from
the extra or blank log. Then while or after you view a lecture
or rented video, enter the key points in the log so you
have the key points permanently at your finger tips.
We updated the hunting data base for version 4 to include the latest
information on whitetail hunting and it has much more information and
some new conditions.

USER INPUT
If you have a file you think would work well with the program, send
it to us, and we will make it available to others and give you
a free upgrade if we include it on our list.
Tell us a new way to use the Program and if used we will give you a
free upgrade.
-------------------
NEXT VERSION - Graphics!
We are already planning the next versions and it will include more
data base material in the expert system, more library information, and
even more Log Applications (send us your idea for a Log Application Key
and get a free upgrade if chosen). We also tentatively plan to use
Microsoft Windows to give you some graphics uses. For Example,
Hunting Maps, Lake Charts, etc.. Unfortunately we could not implement
a graphics function in the current versions with high enough quality
to make it really useful to you.
