FUELMON V1.05 Last Updated: 04-12-97 by Dean Barnard (c)1997 -OVERVIEW- Fuelmon is a FREEWARE program for keeping track of your car's fuel statistics by entering the date, mileage, cost and amount of fuel from your receipts. It was written originally for use by myself and because I live in England, only takes into account the way we buy and measure fuel i.e. We buy our fuel in litres but measure our consumption in Miles per Gallon. It was mainly inspired by Ad Bosch's shareware MyCar program that is available from http://www.worldaccess.nl/~adbosch. Ad's program takes into account various other costs related to motoring, such as servicing etc. -INSTALLATION- The program was zipped with the relevant directory structure, but in case this has not been recreated, please use the following. FUELMON.OPA - Main Program \APP FUELMON.HLP - Help File \APP\FUELMON (Not required if low on space) Any data files will be stored in the \APP\FUELMON directory. FUELMON.PRF will be created in \APP\FUELMON the first time you use Fuelmon. If contains the registration code and your preferences. At the moment Fuelmon will only run on the Internal Drive (M). For more detailed instructions see online Help. Information about myself appears when opening and closing Fuelmon files. Once registered this will not appear. Registration DOES NOT cost anything, it is just to enable me to get an idea of how many people are using it. If you want to be told when a new version is available please let me know when you register. Fuelmon is only available over the Internet, so you should be able to E-mail me for the code. Feel free to give the code to a user who does not have Internet access, but please drop me a line to tell me that they are using it. Any comments and suggestions would be appreciated. Send them to fuelmon@dhjb.demon.co.uk -HISTORY- 1.05 (04-12-97) Corrected bug on 3c where graphs not changed when using the Menu or Psion+key. Corrected spelling mistake. Added ability to choose 2 or 3 decimal places on Cost per Mile. Added Nag screens at startup & end until registered. (Registration FREE!) 1.04 (11-10-97) Added quick keys, Enter, Tab and Delete for Add, Update & Delete record. Removed the need for graph rebuild after Add/Update cancelled. Corrected spelling mistake. Corrected messy screen build. Removed Start Up screen. Moved to be shown when viewing 'About'. Removed Version Number from Icon. 1.03ß (28-8-97) Corrected problems with Graph rounding. Added File, New, Open, Erase. Added ability to rename file to be exported to MyCar if it already exists. Changed MyCar Export from Psion-e to Psion-z to allow Psion-e for Erase file. 1.02ß (4-8-97) Added Export to MyCar. Corrected bug in Diamond Key processing. 1.01ß (6-7-97) Changed Average Line on graph to show figures in more than 5 entries. Corrected a couple of minor bugs and spelling mistakes. Stopped bars reaching top and bottom of graph to enhance appearance. 1.00ß (May 1997) Started coding -FUTURE PLANS- Below are ideas from myself and suggestions from others on what I should add to, or change about Fuelmon. I should get round to them all eventually. If you have one that you would like to see first, please let me know. Allow installation on drives other that the Internal (M). Allow renaming of file in export to MyCar. Add estimated next fill date. Weekly/Monthly & Yearly stats. Customise maximum number of bars on graphs. Allow jumping to transaction by record number or date. Allow addition/deletion of records in the middle of the file. Choose between seeing averages of whole file, or last nn records. -THANKS- Thanks to Dave Catlin and Darren Anderson for Beta testing, and to Heather (my wife) for putting up with my constant quiet spells during the coding. (Although she probably enjoyed them!) And of course to Ad Bosch, who without whose program I would probably never thought of writing this.
