- The Amiga Club that I belong to has never been able to locate a
- program that allows them to keep track of their membership
- properly. I decided that I wanted to learn "C" and I thought
- that the creation of this program would be a good project.
- Anyway, here it is and I hope that Amiga clubs everywhere will
- use it!
-
- Thanks to the members of the Central Pennsylvania Amiga Computer
- Club (CPACC) who contributed suggestions during the development
- of this program.
-
- Special thanks goes to C.W. Fox and Bruce Dawson for the
- great job that they did on the Requester Library. The file
- and text requesters from their library really make this
- program SHINE!

- This Program is released as a SHAREWARE Product. If the About
- screen displays the message [ Demo Version! ], the program is
- limited to a maximum of 60 member records. If you find a program
- bug or want to make a suggestion for an improvement, I would like
- to hear about it. If you try the program and decide that you
- like it, send $15 to the address listed below and I will send you
- an updated version of the program that allows more records to be
- stored.

- - User Instructions -
-
-
-
- Members will allow you to enter addresses for businesses as well
- as for Members. If the Date Joined and Date Expired fields are
- left blank the program will print the Last Name first and
- concatenate the First Name to it.
-
- Example:
-
- 1. Commodore Busin | ess Machines
-
- will print as:
-
- Commodore Business Machines
-
- These types of addresses will not print on any the Member related
- reports; however, they will be included in the mailing labels.
- Otherwise, they will be treated as non-members.
-
- A last minute addition to the program, was to provide for the
- ability to have a C/O (Care Of) name on business addresses. If
- you want a C/O to print on the mailing label, simply place the
- persons name in the first Interest field.
-
- You can leave records in the file for those members who have left
- their membership expire. Since all of the reports are triggered
- by a YY/MM requester, these records will not be printed unless
- unless you want them to. This will allow you to keep a history
- file.

- Installation:
-
- The file Req.Library must be placed in your libs:
- directory for this program to work.
-
- Gadgets:
-
- NEXT: This gadget will allow the user to view the next
- record when in normal mode. During search
- operations clicking on this gadget will search
- for the next record.
-
- PREV: This gadget will allow the user to view the
- previous record when in normal mode.
-
- DONE: This gadget allows the user to signal the comple-
- tion of an ADD or EDIT operation. When you are
- finished adding or editing a particular record,
- click on the DONE and the record will be added or
- replaced.
-
- CLEAR: This gadget will clear the data from the screen.
-
- Menus:
-
- SAVE: The data is not automatically saved when you
- exit the program, and no warning message is
- issued.
-
- SAVE AS:
- The program will not allow you to do a SAVE if a
- SAVE AS has not been done.
-
- ADD: To add a record select the ADD menu item. The
- screen will be cleared. Enter the member inform-
- ation and click on DONE. The record will be
- added and the screen will be cleared. Continue
- by entering the next member and click on DONE
- when finished editing. The program will remain
- in ADD mode until another menu selection is made.
-
- If the date in the Date Joined field is entered
- in a YY/MM format the program will automatically
- compute the Date Expired (one year) and position
- the cursor to the Model.
-
- The program will automatically change all of the
- data entered in the Interest fields to upper
- case. This is for search purposes.
-
- SEARCH: Select the SEARCH menu item, and a requester will
- ask you to enter the search value. If a match is
- found the record will be displayed on the screen.
-
- Last Name:
-
- When entering the Last Name into the
- search requestor the data has to be
- exactly the same as the value in the
- record. If the first letter of the
- field is capitalized, then the first
- letter of the search value must be
- capitalized.
-
- Interest :
-
- When entering the Interest into the
- search requestor, the program will
- automatically change the entered
- value to all CAPS.
-
-
- EDIT: When the record that you wish to change is shown
- on the screen, select the EDIT menu item. Change
- the information and click on DONE when you are
- finished.
-
- If you wish to keep the original date that a
- member originally joined your club, leave it
- alone and change the Date Expired manually.
-
- DELETE: When the record that you wish to delete is shown
- on the screen, select the DELETE menu item. The
- record will be deleted.
-
- SORT: The sort allows you to print out or view the data
- in a different order; however, when the data is
- saved it will automatically be sorted into Last
- Name sequence.
-
- MAILING LABELS:
-
- Enter the current YY/MM in the requester. Labels
- will be printed for all current members and for
- those records that have a NULL Date Joined field.
- Additionally, the program compares the YY/MM to
- the Date Expired field. If the values are equal
- "LAST ISSUE!" will be printed in place of the
- expiration date on the label. This will act as
- a reminder to those members who memberships are
- about to expire.
-
- If you have records in the file where both the
- Date Joined & the Date Expired fields are blank,
- those records will also be printed. This is to
- provide for the ability to print labels for
- businesses that receive information from your
- club. If the first Interest field contains any
- information, the program will print a C/O (Care
- Of) line on the label. This was a last minute
- change to the program. And yes, it is kind of
- sloppy.
-
- EXPIRED ROSTER:
-
- This will print a brief (Name & Expiration Date)
- listing of those members who have left their
- membership expire.
-

- listing of current members. This listing can
