PERSONAL COMMENTS:
Very easy to use! This is one of those rare programs you can start using
after spending only a few minutes reading the documentation. The program
was straight forward and the documentation was ample. The confirmation
prompt before deleting records was a good error check.
ADDITIONAL REMARKS or RATINGS:
Including an install batch file was helpful but need to indicate in the
documentation which batch file to use (e.g. INSTALLC.BAT INSTALLD.BAT
INSTALLE.BAT INSTNET.BAT).
Simplify the set-up process even further by including an option to update
the buffers and files in the CONFIG.SYS file during INSTALL.BAT rather than
just instructing the customers to add these commands to CONFIG.SYS
themselves.
Increase the search features of THE CARDSHOP by including the abilities to
search using wildcards, operands and conditional logic.
Documentation was straight forward but spelling errors need to be
corrected.
