- ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒ¥ What Vehicle History? 2.1a 10/7/1992 √ƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒƒ
-
- This is the fully functional, Unregistered Edition of What Vehicle
- History? Other than a 7-second pause at start-up, it is identical
- to the Registered Edition (i.e., it is not "crippled"). The
- Unregistered Edition functions at the lowest registration level (5
- vehicles maximum).
-
- WVH provides any easy way to track the service history on many cars,
- trucks, campers, dozers, grading equipment, what-have-you. You may
- identify vehicles by VIN or manufacturer's number (for non-VIN
- equipment).
-
- WVH contains five data bases:
- 1. Vehicles
- 2. Mechanics, employees, or places of service
- 3. Divisions, departments, locations, etc.
- 4. Types of service
- 5. Service history
-
- The only practical limit WVH has is the number of vehicles you may
- track, which is limited by your registration level. The service
- history requires the most disk space, since it will grow as you add
- information. The other data bases will likely be very small (just a
- few kilobytes) unless you have a very large number of employees or
- departments.
-
- On a 360k floppy disk there is about 100k of free space. A typical
- service entry will take around 512 bytes (depending on number of
- parts entered), so I would figure that you could track 3 vehicles
- from assembly line to junk yard in this space. Just the same, a
- hard disk is best since it is so much faster and sealed from dust
- and fingerprints.
-
- Integrated back-up/restore/format floppies functions make WVH a
- complete environment in which even a novice user can manage data
- without the need for addition software or knowledge of DOS commands.
- A brief on-line manual is accessible within the programme (via the
- Help/Index menu).
-
- Mouse support is installed on menus only. I don't know anyone who
- is using WVH with a mouse -- if you are, tell me and it will give me
- the fire I need enhance the mouse support.
-
- Documentation on-disk is provided in TWO FORMATS: ASCII and
- WordPerfect 5.1. If the user has WordPerfect (or a conversion
- utility) the documentation can be properly formatted for their
- printer, taking advantage of special fonts and in many cases saving
- paper.

- I would like the chance to gain your active support for my software.

- you a registered copy of the package (WVH will be at the 5 vehicle
- registration level) on the disk of your choosing. As updates are
- released I will send them to you -- this will update your registered
