- This should be where you would get all the 'down and dirty info' about how
- evrything runs, and I'll try not to disappoint. DBMENU was written to be
- _VERY_ simple to run. It does have a few quirks and here they are
-
- * It depends on other units
- *Mulkey (a rewrite is included)
- *GetFld (a rewrite is included *SUPPORT FOR THIS IS NOT PROVIDED*)
- it was the best choice I have yet found for field input
- *TPRO - ask Kim or Brian for details. It is a superb package
- *TACCESS - otherwise known as DATABASE TOOLBOX
- * The date fields are written as YYYY/MM/DD for easier sorting
- * It is written for 'flat files' meaning no releation between databases. There
- are provisions to get a record and then relate to other records.
-
- I am open to all suggestions for rewrites, as I consider this to be version
- 0.9 and not a full blown package. Please take it and experiment! I have
- included a _very_ simple example, but no other docs [I consider it _THAT_
- easy].
-
- For menu handling, please refer to the TPRO manual. For those of you who
- haven't yet purchased TPRO, just use cursor keys and then enter.
-
- Tips on field input:
- The delete, backspace and enter keys will work as expected
- The field will use the previous data
- Control-enter will take you past a required field [non-blank or valid_date_field]
- Escape will take you to the end of a record
-
- For the legal issues: NO LIABILITY OF ANY TYPE IS ASSUMED PERIOD.
- THIS IS NOT FREEWARE. If you use the package
- I at least expect to get some message on the forum.
- Donations of money or time are also welcomed.
