- The ORDER.BAT file on the Utility Disk may be used to print out an Order
- Form and a Mailing List form. The Order Form may be used to register your
- copy of File Express if you decide to do so, or to order the latest version
- of the program. You may also order extra printed User's Guides if you don't
- want to print out the disk version. The regular File Express Program Disk and
- Utility Disk labels may also be purchased. The Mailing List form can be
- used to send Expressware your name and address so that we may add you to our
- mailing list so that you can be notified of future updates and product
- announcements. The form may also be used to send us comments about File
- Express. If you have received this copy of File Express from a friend, please
- take the time to send in the Mailing List form.
-
- Please read WHATSNEW.DOC on the Utility Disk to see all the new features and
- enhancements that have been made to File Express.

-
- Note:
- If you are upgrading from a version
- of File Express that is earlier than 2.5
- you should delete any stack files from your
- Data Disks. These are the files that have
- an extension of ".STK". You can do this by
- inserting your Data Disk into drive A and
- typing:
-
- DEL A:*.STK <Enter>
-
- If your database files contain any deleted
- records you should rebuild this deleted
- record stack file by selecting <7> (File
- Maintenance) from the Main Menu and then
- selecting <3> (Rebuild Deleted Record Stack).
- This will cause File Express to go through
- the entire index for that file and look for
- deleted record slots that can be used the
- next time you enter data.
