Ŀ Grocery Manager for Windows v2.10 SEE BELOW FOR PRODUCT INFORMATION Ŀ This is a VENDINFO Product Information Record This record is a means of conveying information about a software product from the author to distributors and users. It contains a normal, "human-readable" section (you're reading it now), followed by a compressed data record. The data record contains a great deal of information in a form useable by automated tools. This allows BBSes, disk vendors, etc. to test automatically for permission to distribute, and to automatically extract product information for use in BBS files databases, vendor catalogs, etc. The VENDINFO file standard is published and is freely useable. The VENDINFO toolset includes a free end-user viewer, processing tools for use by distributors (BBSes, shareware disk vendors, etc.), and the editor used by author/publishers to produce these records. These tools are either free or very-low cost shareware. The toolset can be obtained from many sources, including the originators of VENDINFO: Rams' Island Software Voice: 303-841-2848 CompuServe: 76244,324 7644 E.

Please Read: The install program AND Grocery Manager REQUIRE that VBRUN200.DLL be in one of the directories in your path, your Windows directory, or your Windows System directory, or they won't run. VBRUN200.DLL isn't included in this archive because many people already have it, it's big (357K), and it is very annoying to have a big file included that you already have. It can be found separately on many BBS'es (see list at the end of this section), and it is available on the WINSHARE forum on Compuserve as VBRUN2.ZIP. Be sure a copy of VBRUN200.DLL is in your path, your Windows directory, or your Windows System directory, then follow the instructions below: {{ UPGRADING FROM V.1.09 OR PRIOR TO V.2.10 }} If you're currently using version 1.09 or older of GMW, and you want to continue using the information you've saved in the previous version, DON'T use the install program. Instead, follow these steps: First, make a copy of EVERYTHING in your GMW directory (it's the safe & smart thing to do!). Copy these files from GMW210.ZIP to your GMW directory: CONVERT.EXE GMW.EXE GMW.INI GMW_DOCS.WRI GMW.HLP TOOLBUTN.VBX Run CONVERT.EXE to convert your existing data to v.2.10's format. Click on the "Help" menu selection in CONVERT.EXE to read specific details about the conversion program. After successfully converting your data, you are ready to use GMW v.2.10. {{ UPGRADING FROM V.2.00 OR V.2.02 TO V.2.10 }} If you're currently using version 2.00 or 2.02 of GMW, and you want to continue using the information you've saved in the previous version, DON'T use the install program. Instead, follow these steps: Copy these files from GMW210.ZIP to your GMW directory: CONVERT2.EXE GMW.EXE GMW_DOCS.WRI GMW.HLP Run CONVERT2.EXE to convert your existing data to v.2.10's format. Click on the "Help" menu selection in CONVERT2.EXE to read specific details about the conversion program. After successfully converting your data, you are ready to use GMW v.2.10. {{ INSTALLING GROCERY MANAGER FOR WINDOWS }} Automatic Installation: Unzip GMW210.ZIP onto a floppy or into an empty directory on your hard drive. While in Windows, start INSTALL.EXE. You will be presented with a default directory for GMW to be installed into. This can be changed to anything you want, but please keep GMW in its own directory. Select "No" if you don't want a program group created for GMW (Install defaults to "Yes"), and then click on the start button. Click on the Exit button when the installation is complete, and then delete all files from the directory you unzipped GMW210.ZIP into. Manual Installation: Place VBISAMMX.DLL in your Windows System directory, create a directory for GMW, and place all remaining files into it. {{ GMW SAMPLE FILES AND A QUICK TOUR OF GMW }} Included with GMW are some sample files so you can evaluate GMW without having to manually enter any data. These files are copied to your hard drive during the automatic installation. The sample files will enable you to see how Grocery Manager works. Immediately after installing GMW, go to the View menu, and browse through the various screens to view. The sample files are set up so that you can view or printout a sample menu and shopping list without going through the usual steps to make one. Select Shopping List from the View menu. This is an example of what you would take to the grocery store. Select Menu from the View menu. This is a sample of a menu that shows what meals are planned on each day. When you get to the point that you want to enter your own data, you may either modify the existing data, or delete it and start over. To completely delete the data and start over, be sure that GMW isn't running, and go to the directory that GMW was installed in and delete all the data files by typing the following command at a DOS prompt: "Del *.IS?". {{ WHERE TO GET THE LATEST COPY OF GROCERY MANAGER }} In an effort to make it easier for you to obtain your favorite software, the latest updates of many ASP authored programs can be found on the BBSs listed below.

Revised Print/Menu & View/Menu layouts Shortcut keys implemented for "Menu - Select Dishes" spin button: Ctrl-D = Down, Ctrl-U = Up Fixed: Edit/Dish screen: Error #C2001-6 would happen if a qty was changed manually and CR was pressed. Sometimes the Create Shopping List routine would select the wrong items if there were two Menus where the dates overlapped. When modifying an existing Menu and then recreating a Shopping List some items wouldn't be deleted from the Shopping List that should have been. 12/18/93 2.02 New: Error messages are saved to a file (ERRORLOG.TXT). Edit/Dish & Edit/Misc Item Groups screens now show the UM for each item. Printer Setup has been added to the File menu. View/Ingredients/Current Store: All Items & only Stocking Status = Yes. Print/Ingredients/Current Store: All Items & only Stocking Status = Yes. Fixed: Edit/Aisles Description field didn't clear after saving. Edit/Misc Item Groups allowed an existing group to be saved without any items. Edit/Misc Item Group status wasn't changing to "Editing..." when an ingredient was added to the list. Edit/Misc Item Group save confirmation dialog box said "Save Dish?". Sort/On didn't work on Edit/Dish & Edit/Misc Item Group. The Edit/Stores, Menu - Select Name, Edit/UM's and Edit/Misc Item Groups screens allowed a save that had no characters except spaces. Leading and trailing spaces are now automatically removed. When changing an Ingredient the change wasn't completely proliferated to the Misc Item Groups nor Dish records, thus causing some errors when trying to access these changed records. When a Dish was renamed, any references to that dish in a saved Menu wasn't changed. Printed reports that weren't form feeding at the end of each page: Menu, Misc Item Group/Brief, and Shopping List 11/14/93 2.01 New: Print/Shopping List now includes the Menu & Store names in the heading. Fixed: Shopping List was made even if "Ignore Stocking Status = No". 11/02/93 2.00 New: GMW is now a MDI Application, and allows multiple screens to be open. Multiple Stores, Menus, and Shopping Lists are now accomodated. Ingredients now have a price field. Greatly enhanced online Help file.
