FileMaster

Pop Out and Print Instructions if required

As the 1980's Widgets FileMaster data management package is still available at a reasonable price from the eBay store the powerful Pierre. Then why not give it a go? After reading the manual that states the package can be integrated with OPL then additions and alterations to the package become apparent. To evaluate the package and the (LINKS.OPL) additions then reasonable database files are needed. The attached OPK includes the additions and alterations (.OB3's) and a set of database files that can be used with ReNUM and Append. Those wishing to give it a try that don't have a spare 128K datapak can evaluate it in JAPE by selecting an LZ64, inserting File Master IV in B: then the LINKS.OPK in C: and you can import the snap file LZ64_Links_VU.SNA and run it. The database files can be downloaded separately from the links below.

Let me know how you get on or to send me bug reports

Sincerely and in good faith

Martin

Organiser Database Files

These relatively large database files are provided to allow users and enthusiasts the opportunity to practice their database handling routines, even better if they are an angler, race goer or twitcher. Those 64K Organiser users may wish to free up some space on A: in order to receive these files. Those 32K (or less) Organiser users will want to receive the files directly onto a clean 32K or greater Data, Ram or Flash Pack. You will get all these files and more onto one of Olivier's 256K Rampacks.
