CycleDBase - by DWM Productions
Requirements - An Amiga and Gadtools library v37+ in rom
Programmed with Golded 4.7.2 & StormC 3.0
Final (for now) version completed - 20/10/99
With grateful thanks to the members of the AmigaC mailing list
at onelist.com for all their assistance.
This program is the sixth that I have written with a GUI.
It is one of the programs I have set myself to write to
gain practice in doing this.
This program contains an Advanced Search program which will find all
matches in a search and then allow the user to navigate through the results,
rather than just the first.
Instructions:
*** NOTE - The save files from Version 1.4 are no longer compatible
with this or future versions and will not load properly. ***
Before using this program, the user has to understand how I got around the fact
that as yet I cannot display decimal numbers in a GUI. The decimal numbers
entered into this program are entered as whole numbers, NOT decimal. So,
a mileage of 6.9 miles is entered as 6 then 9 in the two gadgets available.
They have a decimal point displayed between them and the program will appear
to treat them as decimal.
Other than that, enter what data you require, and use the keys with ',' or '.'
to move back and forth through the records. You can also use the '<' & '>'
buttons on the screen.
As for loading and saving, you don't actually need the file extension.
The program should only load files previously saved by it which have not been
altered in the meantime.
As always, don't forget my trademark 'About' menu item.
Legal:
This program hardly requires it yet, but I should start as I mean
to go on and so:
This program is Freeware.
