- Programming considerations:
-
- Performance- since Paradox is not the quickest program at times the editor
- is not instaneous on an XT, but if the XTis accelerated or AT,
- 386 computer the program is very nice. Even on the orignal PC
- my users have had no complaints, and nothing but praise for the
- additional features this editor provides.
-
- Plug in to your current scripts - simply have a call to savevars command, save
- tablename, and call editor.sc with a call to play savevars script
- for an example look an see how search.sc is called with savevars
- You can call me at number above, I charge if the call turns into
- time periods over a couple of minutes, but usually I don't, but
- you must have a registered copy to call. Have the Registration
- number, your name, Paradox version, listing of code on hand to
- to hustle the process.
-
- In case of error(CANCEL or Debug options arise) - CALL ME, or write a letter
- and I will get back to you. At the immediate time you should
- write down what happend, then choose DEBUG, and type Ctrl-E,
- then do a shift printscreen after Paradox puts you in the editor
- so I can get page of information to debug. Include this in your
- letter. You can then exit the editor(F10, then cancel) and avoid
- whatever you did. This should not happen very often, this editor
- has been in service for many hours, you should first check that
- that your download went properly. When you write a letter you
- must be a registered user.
-
-
- Optimization - In the code after the proc fancedit is defined in editor
- script user should put 'index TABLE on FIELDNAME' if you hard-
- wire the editor to a particular table, this helps locate work
- in the search routines, and gives user a sorted look at the
- file while editting which always is nice.
-
- The program supports directory paths, but the code is small so
- (make it a library function!!! once you register - it will really
- be fast, one of Paradox best functions is the librarian learn
- how it works!) you could just put in all subdirectories you have.
-
- All forms for all tables should be current, and work correctly
- or this will cause a script error. The moral of the story is
- then to have your default form designed nicely for all tables,
- or have the Paradox just make one for it by entering F7 when view-
- ing it.
-
- I will include on the registered version disk many examples of
- use of this editor in many systems, so it good to register.
-
- This editor has over 300 hours of data entry put through it, and it is
- very reliable, however if you for some reason lose data while using this
- program, I will not take any responsiblity, you are using the code,
- and that is all if you have data loss. This editor if used properly
- is very nice, and much safer than normal Paradox editing mode.
-
- Note for password protected files you must insert the password command
- after the Proc is defined in editor.sc for proper results.
