- JOURNEY V1.1
-
- INTRODUCTION:
-
- Journey is a utility to maintain and search timetables for routes between
- two places.
-
- The program is basically in two parts, one to enter and edit timetables,
- and one to search them for the best journey.
-
- The program is still in a relatively early state and I hope to release a
- version with an improved user interface soon.
-
- DISCLIAMER: The author believes this program to be correct (with the
- exception of any known problems documented here). This does not mean that
- the program is warrantied for any purpose. Responsibility for checking the
- correctness of any input/output resides with the user.

-
- HOW TO USE :
-
- The following notes are that, notes. Full documentation is intended for
- future versions but this may depend on the number of registered users.
- (there is little point in documenting a program if only I find it of use)
-
-
- Setting up:
-
- To use the program you first have to enter the timetables using the SETUP
- option from the main menu.
-
- Files should be created in the following order.
-
- a) LOCATIONS : details of the various stop points in each timetable
-
- b) MODES : details of the journey's mode ir Bus, Train etc..
-
- c) PROTOTYPES : A general layout of a journey giving the average times
- between the stops made within a journey.
-
- d) JOURNEY : Details of the Specific journeys within the timetable. These
- details are defaulted from the associated prototype to save typing.
-
- e) TIMETABLE : The final file. This is automatically generated from the
- above files.
-
- Once you have set up the data the rest should be self explanatory, but
- please feel free to write if you have problems.
-
-
-
- CURRENT LIMITATIONS/PROBLEMS:
-
- - Error checking is limited especially relating to checks for files existing.
- - EDIT/VIEW/DELETE option has a tendancy to skip records. This does not
- actually cause any problems, but is a little annoying. I do not plan to
- correct this because the next release will probably have a redesigned
- user interface
- - It is planned that the dialog screens will be altered as part of the
- new user interface in future versions. This will make using the software
- easier.
- - Searches for journeys starting before midnight but ending afterwards are
- currently not implemented (exepect in one particular case). This is not a
- bug, but a deliberate ommission at this time.
- - Future changes will include a means of defining a way of setting up info
- on times to travel between one location and annother when this is not via
- a timetabled service, ie It takes 2 minutes to get from Aberdeen railway
- station and Aberdeen bus station. This will allow these to be set as
- different locations and give more accurate journey statistics.
