WizCheck Documentation
------------------------------------------
Version 5
Program Written By Douglas J Gray
Please note:
The only change in this version is instead
of the esc key for exit I changed it to the 'x' key. Some people
had problems if they had a touchy ESC key like mine was it sent two ESC presses
and one was intercepted
by the operating system and the OS would bring up a window asking to quit
the program if they answered
yes to this prompt they would lose there data. So I put 'x' to exit
except in the add screen and x wont be
intercepted by the operating system.

1) Data and Operation Limitations AndConsiderations
A) The number ofrecords
is limited to 230
The sharp 730 is aittle
slow when saving data to memory. Ibenchmarked 30 records to load
at 7 seconds Based
on that; 230 records would takeapproximately 53 sec. Based onthese
figures you may want
to use smaller files
B) TheNumber
Of Files Is limited to 20
I was able to create
20 files successfully and I am not aware of anylimitation on byte total that
can be used by a program
in files and I am not aware of anylimitation of the number of files that
can be created by all
programs in memory other then available memory,but limitations may
exist.
C) Important File Name and Other File Information:
1) File Names shouldbe
less then 7 characters long, Version 4Truncates The File Name
To 7 digits
so make sure file names are unique in the first 7characters.
2) Errors will occurif
there is a file on the wizard ina another program that has the
Same file
name as one on WizCheck. If you get a Bad File Nameerror, Check for
a filewith
the same name on the Wizard, I cannot fix this error, itis an operation
systemerror.
I cannot pinpoint exactly when this error occurs,but keep inmind other
programs
that might use the same file name and adjust for that(Rename)
3) If you see a prompt that
says "Do You Really Want To Exit This Program" You should
answer NO(ESC)
to the prompt or you might lose your data.
