Hi John,
Hee hee. i just installed PC File 1.1 on my work PC...set up our
Serial numbers and RAs on it...much simpler and cheaper than Access :)
Maybe I should run it on the 286 at work off a 1.2Mb floppy
drive...probably more reliable than Windoze :)
I dont like the format of MEMO though...you cant have multiple lines.
