- RADIO is living proof that data
-
- bases don't have to be boring to be
-
- functional. Ian Phillips has locked
-
- on to a unique property of his
-
- subject matter to make his data base
-
- interesting visually as well as
-
- useful.
-
- RADIO is a filing program for those
-
- who listen to more than one AM radio
-
- station. The program can store up
-
- to 1000 different American and
-
- Canadian AM radio stations.
-
- Two menus operate this program.
-
- The first searches for a STATION, a
-
- CITY, a FREQUENCY, or a
-
- CLASSIFICATION. The program will
-
- automatically list any radio stations
-
- matching the data you entered.
-
- The second menu, or the ALTERNATE
-
- MENU, allows you to enter new radio
-
- stations. You can also remove any of
-
- the stations you don't want listed.
-
- It is also through the ALTERNATE MENU
-
- that you exit the program. Make sure
-
- you leave the disk in the drive while
-
- adding or removing radio stations as
-
- RADIO needs to access the file named
-
- AMSTAT. To get to the ALTERNATE MENU
-
- press the 'A' key.
-
- Here are few points of interest for
-
- those who don't know:
-
- Canadian stations generally begin
-
- with the letter C and a few begin with
-
- V. One American station begins with V
-
- while the rest begin with A, K, or W.
-
- One more note--CLASSIFICATION allows
-
- you to classify the stations. In the
-
- over 150 stations already on file,
-
- there are classifications such as NBC,
-
- CBC, ABC, ROCK, OLDIES, COUNTRY,
-
- LARRY KING, TALKNET, and even
-
- FRENCH and SPANISH. How you want to
-
- classify the stations is really up to
-
- you!
