Version 1.1
- Fixed display problem.
- Now works with Palm OS 2.0 and high
Version 1.0 Release to the public on July 26th, 2000
4T Pet is a well-designed database application for tracking
important Pet information. Each entry lets you enter a pet's name, date of
birth, age, sex, weight, color, breed and other information including
Veterinarian information and medical history plus and much more. User-customizable categories allow you to maintain multiple databases (i.e. one for
each pet or species). Pull-down menus are utilized throughout to make data entry quick and simple. If you've ever had to find your
Pet information fast, you'll certainly see the value of this easy-to-use application. Now you can keep all this information in the palm of your hand (no pun intended).
- None at this time.
New Installation.
Install the included FPet.prc file by
using the install application that is included with your Palm OS Desktop software.
You can purchase 4T PET through http://www.fortsoft.com.
When you purchase has been approved,
you will receive a license number via e-mail from the author within 24 hours.
The Main Form View is the 'home base' view of 4T Pet. The look and feel is very similar to the address list view of the Address application on the Palm Pilot. The accounts are listed in alphabetical order by the description field of the account.
To create new record press the 'New' button from the Main Form View. The Item Details View screen will appear where you can start inputting your information, you can choose the label names by tapping on the drop down list of each label and selecting a new label. Enter the information in each field by tapping on the field to place the cursor and use the Graffiti input or Palm Pilot soft keyboard input to enter the record information. Use the drop down list box in the top right corner of the form to select a category for the Item that you are currently editing. Edit the list of categories by selecting 'Edit Categories...' from the category drop down list. Tap on the 'Private' check box to identify the account as private. This will allow you to utilize the built-in Palm Pilot security feature and hide the record until the Palm Pilot security password has been entered. Once finished, tap the 'Done' button and the Main Form View will appear.
To view/edit an record, select the account from the Main Form View by tapping on the name of the record. The Item Details View screen will appear with the record information. View or edit the information as needed and then tap the 'Done' button when finished viewing the account and the Main Form View will reappear.
To delete the record Item, tap on the Item, from the Main Form View, to bring up the Item Details View, then tap the delete "Trash Can" icon. A dialog box will prompt you to ensure that you don't accidentally delete the wrong record.

Importing from the memopad is exactly the same as the export except for one thing, change the word Export to Import. The fields and the structure is exactly the same. As a matter of fact, the BEST way to insure no type-o's is to first export to memopad, then edit the data and import back into 4T Pet.
The minimum requirements are; 1.) new memo named
"4TPet Import" 2.) First line of memo named "4TPet" 3.) ANY
one of the fields below.
NOTE: The list fields ARE CASE SENSITIVE. They MUST be type in EXACTLY as
they are in the program.
