T X T FundRaiser Basic Version 1.44 (01/22/96) μμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμ This file contains a list of changes and additions made to FundRaiser Basic since it was first released in version 1.10: 1.43-44 01/22/96 ---------------- 1) Added ability to increment a date by a day, week, month, or year by pressing +/- and PgUp/PgDn keys: + increase by a day CTRL PgUp increase by a month - decrease by a day CTRL PgDn decrease by a month CTRL + increase by a week ALT PgUp increase by a year CTRL - decrease by a week ALT PgDn decrease by a year Also, pressing the space bar will blank out the date. 2) Fixed an error from version 1.42. 1.42 12/22/95 ------------- 1) Fixed File Maintenance problem that would occur if there were 0 records in the Master or Gifts databases. 2) Removed requirement that a State code be entered for every address. 3) Moved source-code summary (at bottom of deposit report) to right side of the page. 4) Added ability to specify your printer port (LPT1-3, COM1-3) or to print to a text file on disk. 5) Made Insert (rather than OverWrite) the default mode whenever editing notes or form letter text. 1.41 11/17/95 ------------- 1) Fixed an importing problem (if the right-most (last) field was a character type field that contained numbers, it would be mis-read). 2) Added ability to restore default colors (do so by ESCaping from the Colors screen in the Customization menu). 3) Moving the program from one directory to another would cause it to lose about 40 days from the evaluation period. Fixed. 4) Fixed an error that would occur when first printing labels. 1.40 09/01/95 ------------- 1) Added Exporting - ability to export all or a portion of your list. 2) Added GIFTLIST() merge function: end of year listing of donations 3) Expanded the ability to turn Hint Lines and other automated help screens on/off through Customization Menu. 4) Removed the need to include parentheses after a merge function, unless you're putting something inside the parentheses. So, \\GIFTAMT\\ now works the same as \\GIFTAMT()\\. 5) Changed the non-registered version: returned the F4 calculator and the ability to change colors; printing is now disabled after the evaluation period has expired. 6) Printing: Names Listing - Choice F. Now a choice to print 1 page/donor, or as much as will fit on a page 7) Printing, Exporting: Sort Orders now include Amount Given, either for "This Year" or for All Time. Makes it handy to list your big donors. 8) Deposit, Donation Report: You can now limit the report to contributions with a particular Source code. 9) File Maintenance: added automatic integrity checking of databases, and automatic correction of most problems. The few that can be corrected by FundRaiser are detailed so you can handle it yourself. 10) Customization: Recalculate Giving Totals was added. If a database error is detected, you may be instructed by the program to run this. Also, it won't hurt to run it whenever you suspect the totals are wrong. 11) Minor fixes/changes: - Names Screen search by Account Number did not work - Names Screen search - picklist for State and Category Code did not work properly - Changed $0.00 contributions, so that they do not count as the "Last Gift" as displayed in the Names Screen - Names Listing #1 would double-space on some printers. 1.38 08/11/95 ------------- 1) Added one-liner report #4 to the Names Listing. 1.37 07/06/95 ------------- 1) Added ability to adjust mailing labels up/down, left/right 1.36 06/28/95 ------------- 1) Fixed an obscure problem with the space bar that would sometimes delete characters. 1.35 05/02/95 ------------- 1) Printing Criteria Bug: If a gift source code AND a donor category code were both specified, then the donor category code was being ignored. 2) Added a startup switch to enable use of operating systems other than DOS (like OS/2). To use, start the program with "FRB D". 1.34 04/06/95 ------------- 1) Import: minor changes 1.33 03/14/95 ------------- 1) Import: minor changes 1.32 03/08/95 ------------- 1) Fixed bug: unable to exit a Help screen with F10 key 1.31 02/15/95 ------------- 1) Fixed re-calculation of Current Year totals. 2) Added ability, in Customization Menu, to turn off automatic dupe checking 3) enabled ability to print a help screen by pressing F9 to exit. 1.30 01/31/95 ------------- NOTE: This version now requires a FILES=22 (or greater) statement in your CONFIG.SYS file. It previously required 21. FRB will offer to take care of this for you. This version also modifies the file format of the MASTER database. This is done automatically for you when you first enter the Names Screen. Please be aware that two copies of the MASTER database will temporary exist as the changes are being made. This will require a little extra hard disk space. Unless your hard disk is extremely full, this will not be a problem. 1) Added the Import section in which you can import existing mailing lists. dBase III and ASCII comma delimited files are supported. 2) Added Year-to-Date totals to the Names Screen, and added this field as a Report Criteria. You define the YTD dates in the Customization section. 3) Added a Donation Report, which is virtually identical to the Deposit Report, but is based on the date of contribution rather than the date of entry. 4) Fixed the Deposit Report, which was disregarding the ending date. 5) Added printer codes specific to the Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4 family. 6) Changed the default colors. 7) Introduced FRBMERGE as the first FundRaiser Basic Addon. This program lets two users of FundRaiser Basic merge their data together into one list, checking for possible duplicates as it merges. See ADDONS.DOC. 1.22 11/25/94 ------------- 1) When printing appeal letter (Printing menu choice A), the wrong letter would be printed if you typed the letter code instead of selecting from the pick list. 2) Steps were taken to make it impossible for FRB to assign a duplicate account number. This had only been possible if names were imported using another program. 1.21 11/08/94 ------------- 1) When printing labels (Printing menu choice B) with a laser/ink jet printer, labels were being printed with 7 lines per label instead of 6. 1.20 09/23/94 ------------- 1) Added a new menu choice, List, to Names Screen and to Letters Screen. 2) Names Screen/ Add, Change a name/ Duplicate Checking: - Changed the display of duplicate names. - Added duplicate checking of the address, based on delivery address, city, and state. - Corrected a rare condition in which FRB would erroneously report a duplicate name. 3) Registration Menu: added "How to"; made minor changes elsewhere. 1.11 07/22/94 ------------- 1) Printing/ Names Listings: corrected the heading, which was splitting itself over too many lines. 1.10 06/10/94 ------------- 1) Internationalized the program by offering multiple formats for phone numbers and dates. μμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμ Sales: (800) 880-3454 Gene Weinbeck Voice: (417) 256-4280 Professional Support Software Fax: (417) 256-6370 106 Garfield Ave BBS: (417) 256-2026 PO Box 901 CompuServe: 72077,1015 West Plains, MO 65775 USA Internet: edgewalk@townsqr.com America OnLine: EdgeWokkrr Internet World Wide Web: http://www.townsqr.com/~fundraiser/ μμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμμ
