FIREARMS INVENTORY PROGRAM Saxlyn Data Concepts, Ltd. This program is designed to be user friendly and to help all firearm owners to keep a complete inventory of their firearms. In the organization of files, the data files have been broken down into the following catagories: Manufacturer of Firearm - accepts up to 15 charachers Model of Firearm by Mfg. - accepts alpha/numeric combo Caliber of the Firearm - accepts alpha/numeric combo Manufacturers Serial No. - alpha/numeric characters accepted Type of Firearm - eg.(shotgun, bolt action, pistol) Original Purchase Date - Accepts MM-DD-YYYY format Additional Information - allows you to add all additional equiptment added to firearm as long as it is seperated by spaces and up to 26 characters I have included a sample data file named: SAMPLE.DAT within the program so you can see an example of how the information will look when printed out. The data files generated by the program can be named by the user to be tailored to their needs and can be up to eight (8) characters in length. The ".DAT" extension will be automaticly added to the end of the filename made by the user and all data files created can be accessed by the user to be edited in future so there is no need to recreate files from the beginning, thus saving time during updates. The sample data file can be also ammended. The programs within the main programs are all accessable from a Main Menu Program which automaticly loads. At the "A>:" (A_prompt), type "FIREARMS.BAT". This will automaticly load the program. If you wish to print this documentation file, then type "PRINT-ME" at the A>:prompt. I have tried to create an easy working environment to create records and data file of the firearms you may have as a hunter or collector. This program should work on DOS 3.1 or higher. I have DOS ver. 6.0 on a 80286, with 360K 5.25 drives only, and the program handles everything I have dished out to it and survived. If you have any questions or suggestions on how to make this program run smoother, please contact me at the below address. I am a new programming student majoring in Computer Science. This program was written in Quick Basic Version 4.5 Compiler Program and was part of an assignment for the class in creating a data file handling program. My hope is that the program is of use to you for inventory of your hunting or collecting purposes. If you like the program or have suggestions, please use the form attached to let me know. Thank you!.
