- Songanizer Version 2.0
-
- What's New
-
-
-
- Version 2.0 of Songanizer is a complete rewrite of the original
- version 1.x program. Since the time I had originally released
- the program, I have had numerous requests for changes and
- enhancements. Some I had added into version 2.0, along with
- changes that I felt I should add.
-
- The following list will describe the more obvious changes to
- Songanizer. By no means is this a complete list, but these are
- the ones that you will notice in every day use. If you have not
- used Songanizer before, this list will give you a brief history
- of the program as well as what to expect with this version.
-
- 1. Songanizer now supports context-sensitive help. By pressing
- the <F1> key at various times in the program, Songanizer will
- display an overview of what you are looking at, and what
- options you can perform.
-
- 2. The report options have been improved. Larger reports can now
- be displayed on screen without memory errors. Songanizer does
- this by loading and displaying sections of a total report.
- Printed reports have been improved with a Printer Setup menu
- option to enable laser printers to take advantage of landscape
- mode to print various detailed reports.
-
- 3. Search times have been greatly reduced!! For example, on a
- 386/40 using a Song file containing 3300 records, searching
- for a song beginning with "Z" with version 1.x took 25
- seconds. With Songanizer 2.0, search times were under 1
- second!!
-
- 4. A conversion utility will convert your old data files to
- version 2.0 format (Registered users only).
-
- 5. You can alter the way Songanizer looks by toggling the screen
- size between 25 and 50 line mode, and by changing the colors
- of the background, menu items, and all entry screens. Changes
- can be saved to a file, and Songanizer will configure itself
- at startup to use these settings.
-
- 6. Songanizer now has a DOS shell!!
-
- 7. Album and Song searches can now go forwards and backwards.
-
- 8. Songanizer contains a new "Find Album" screen, to locate
- albums quicker.
-
- 9. Menu items are no longer shaded out. Instead, clicking on
- these items will bring the selected entry screen forward,
- placing it on top of all other open screens.
-
- 10. When you update the album name or artist name in the
- "Album Edit" screen, all songs linked to that album are
- automatically updated as well.
