(Simon Dubberly) STOCK LIST ~~~~~~~~~~ Import .CSV now working properly. Not for the computer-illiterate, however. Contact 01729 850824 or email info@auk2000.co.uk for instructions. 01/12/03 V4.44 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CUSTOMER ~~~~~~~~ Fixed bug tagging last customer in Daily Round list. 23/11/03 V4.43 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Windows printing modified. If Windows 32-Bit printing is selected in setup, printing will be via the Windows interface. The Windows default printer will be used. This is the only mode that will be reliable in Windows NT/2000/XP. Also, DOS capable printers are no longer necessary, so "dumb" Windows printers can now be used. Unfortunately it is considerably slower than the original printing technique, but that is the way of "progress" in the IT business, especially if M$ are involved. DOS & Windows 95/98/ME can still use individual printers via the old print interface, however. INVOICE ~~~~~~~ In the Account field of the invoice, F3 will give a pick list of customers on the day's round. (Tony Rowland) CUSTOMER ~~~~~~~~ Additions to Daily Round facility. Selected customers can be tagged & printed separately. (Tony Rowland) Printing of Day's totals now selectable in check box. 13/11/03 V4.42 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Minor tweaks, mostly for improved M$-Windows compatibility.

Checks and converts .CSVs to AUK format. Does NOT process current file, new files must be renamed TOOLS.DTA and reindexed in the program using CTRL-X. (Or done from command line using STOCK /X switch. See HEADER.CSV for the correct names for the fields to be imported. Also try tagging and Exporting a few stock items ( for eXport), and inspecting the output in Excel (Import DOS Text File). Feedback would be much appreciated. 26/02/03 V4.38 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ INVOICE ~~~~~~~ Fixed tendency for VAT calculation to add odd penny too much.

(Thanks Tony!) Updated facility on CTRL-X to rebuild all customer accounts. Use with care! This facility cannot take account of missing/damaged Invoice logs, and does not know about manually edited customer balances, hence the next change: Changed Editor to remove facility to edit account value on existing customer. Changes can now be made only through an Invoice. Entering start balance on new customer is unaffected. (Thanks Mike!) Merged Letters now go through Windows Print Interface, so neater printout. Still under test, if unsatisfactory, delete/rename PRINTW32.EXE to restore DOS Print capability (this feature only in Letters). REPORTS ~~~~~~~ Adds up columns properly in Open Account list. (Thanks Tony!) ORDERS ~~~~~~ Now prints customer orders for today instead of yesterday. (Thanks Mark!) DU2000 ~~~~~~ Fixed timeout on faster CPU's when formatting disks in backup, also when splitting file over more than one disk. (Thanks Tony!) 18/07/01 V4.32 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ INVOICE ~~~~~~~ Fixed bug when entering ordered part for customer with set discount. (Thanks, Ralph!) Shift-F10 for Card/Cheque now unnecessary. Same as F10 F10 now gives choice Cash/Cheque/Card. Computer remembers which payment type customer last used.

In View Tagged Records, can export short form .CSV data file suitable for downloading to Psion handhelds etc. with built-in spreadsheet. Improved Stock Take procedure. It is now much more difficult to pig it up and lose all your typing-in. ORDERS ~~~~~~ CTRL-D deletes tagged entries & turns off reordering of those items.
