!MultiStor/HelpText
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

How to use the Minerva Software Text Reader
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*>Help
This text reader has been written for easy browsing of
Minerva help files. To use it, you can click on the
icons to the right. The � and � icons will move you
through the text one page at a time. The � icons select
'index points' and any which have text beside them may
be clicked to jump directly to the indicated page.
The text may be printed out by clicking on the PRINT
icon. While printing takes place, you may interrupt it
by pressing [ESCAPE].
When you have finished with the Text Reader utility,
click the � icon to close the window and exit.
MultiStore vII
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*>MultiStore
MultiStore vII (v2.00 and above) has changed in several
ways since the first versions. There is an errata sheet
inside the first page of the manual which describes the
changes. The information is repeated in this help text
for your convenience - to see this, click on the � icon
labelled 'Errata.'
There are no further alterations to the manual for this
version of MultiStore.
Errata
~~~~~~
This version of MultiStore has improved labelling. The
*>Errata
label setup window now allows a page length and leader
to be specified. The leader is a number of lines to be
left blank at the start of each page. The page length
may be set so labels will not cross page boundaries. If
you are using a laser printer or sheet feeder for your
labels these settings may be useful.
Version 2.00 and above of MultiStore use different core
code and a different file format from versions prior to
2.00. This means that any existing data must be changed
to the new format, using the !Convert utility supplied
on the data disc. Before using this utility, you should
double click the !MSModules directory on your original
MultiStore. There is a help file for !Convert which
describes how to use it; note that v2.00 and above of
MultiStore use the same module as FlexiFile so you read
any references to FlexiFile in the help as referring to
the current version of MultiStore.
This change in core code has given improved performance
and reliability at the cost of minor features. The list
below describes these changes:
* There is no longer support for the 'No Blanks' option
when creating an index.
* There is no longer support for the old, 8-bit System
Delta file format.
Changes to the MultiStore Manual
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*>Manual
p10. Paragraphs 3 and 4 should be deleted
p14. Paragraph 4 should be deleted
p18. Second paragraph, lines 3 and 12. '90 days'
should read '60 days'
p27. Paragraph 1, line 2. 'Click' should read
'Double click'
p27. Paragraph 1. The stated order in which cards are
found is slightly wrong. See 'Fast Find,' below.
p31. Paragraph 2, line 4. 'clicking' should read
'double clicking'
p42. Paragraph 5, line 5. '5S' should read '5B'
p44. Paragraph 4, line 12. Before clicking on
the Test icon you should select the Label Setup
dialogue box from the report menu to bring up the
setup box.
p55. The illustration is slightly wrong.
p63. Delete the first line of paragraph 4.
p68. Paragraph 6, line 1. 'SEL' should read 'MENU'
p72. Paragraph 5 should be deleted.
p74. The second sentence should be deleted.
p77. The illustration is slightly wrong.
p77. The last paragraph should be deleted.
p124. Paragraph 1, line 2. 'MENU' should read
'ADJUST'
p145. Paragraph 5 should be deleted.
Appendices D and F are also incorrect. Appendix D can
be ignored and appendix F is replaced by the Help for
the new !MSImport utility.
Fast Find
~~~~~~~~~
*>Fast Find
The order in which it is stated that cards are found
(page 27) is slightly wrong. In fact a Fast Find will
search any indices first and then key fields (unless
specified - see pp.83-84 of the manual). Thus the books
will be found in the following order:
BOOK FOUND BY
1. Nelson - His Life Index: Title
2. Lets Go Hang Gliding Index: Surname
3. Nelson - His Life Key: Titl
4. HMS Victory Key: Sub
5. Portsmouth Town Key: Sub3
Note that one book is found twice as there is a key and
an index which both refer to the title field.
Impulse Transmission
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*>Impulse
This version of MultiStore now supports the Impulse
system for communicating with other tasks in the
DeskTop. This is a system designed by Computer Concepts
and, at time of writing, Impression is the only other
Impulse server available. This description will there-
fore refer to Impression but in the future this could
mean any other Impulse servers.
In order to use the Impulse system you must have the
Impulse II module loaded. This is most simply achieved
by running a server which supplies the module. At the
time of writing, Impression is the only such server.
(continued)
You may send commands to other Impulse servers from
MultiStore and MultiStore is itself an Impulse Server
(called :MultiStore) which understands the following
comands:
GetField <Expression> Evaluates the Expression and
returns the value. Fields
may be referred to, as with
formula reports.
GetData <Expression> Synonymous with GetField.
GetTimeDate [<Format>] Returns the current date and
time. A Format may be given
as describe on pp337 of the
Archimedes User Guide.
When using Impression, these commands should be placed
in Merge Commands in the document, eg
:MultiStore.Addresses GetField @Name
:MultiStore GetTimeDate
:MultiStore.Invoices GetField #val*1.175
Note the filenames after the '.' characters - these may
be omitted if MultiStore only has one file open.
MultiStore may also be used to send commands to other
Impulse servers, eg Impression. This may be done in one
of two ways. Firstly, the Card submenu now has an
Impulse option, leading to a leaf which may be edited.
Any Impulse command may be typed in here and it will be
transmitted, with the selected MultiStore file recorded
as the default file to be used for any Impulse commands
that might be received as a result of the command sent.
This is useful for one-off commands and experimentation
but generally, the option on the File submenu should be
used.
The File submenu also has an Impulse option. This leads
to a dialogue box which requests a document name. You
should type in the document name (or drag an Impression
document into this window) and click OK. MultiStore
will execute some preliminary Impulse commands and then
step through each card in the current subset, sending
out some Impulse commands for each card. In the case of
Impression, this results in a 'Mail Merge' with the
Impression document being printed once for each card in
the subset, any Merge Commands having been satisfied.
The Impulse commands used to do this may be changed by
clicking on the icons in the 'Presets' box; since
Impression is currently the only other Impulse Server,
there is only the one preset - others will follow as
more servers appear. Advanced users may wish to modify
the commands used by this preset. To do this, click the
'toggle size' icon at the top right of the dialogue box
to reveal the commands. There are two which are issued
at the start of the merge, three issued for each card,
and two issued at the end of the merge. These may be
edited as desired. Note that the '<Object>' in each
command will be replaced by the document name before
the command is transmitted.
As an example, the !MailMerge Impression document is
supplied on the MultiStore Data Disc. Load Impression
and open this document. Now load MultiStore and open
the Address file (also on the data disc). Drop the file
icon for the !MailMerge document into the card window
of the Address file and the Impulse dialogue box will
appear. Simply click OK (or press RETURN) to mailmerge
using the two files.
While Impulse transmission is taking place, the STOP
icon on the MultiStore tool pane may be clicked. After
verifying, the transmission will be interrupted. This
may take some time as the terminating commands will be
transmitted before the card is re-displayed. 00000000 3b 0a 3b 20 48 65 6c 70 20 66 69 6c 65 20 66 6f |;.; Help file fo| 00000010 72 20 4d 75 6c 74 69 53 74 6f 72 65 0a 3b 20 7e |r MultiStore.; ~| 00000020 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 00000030 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 0a 3b 0a 3b 20 46 69 72 73 |~~~~~~~.;.; Firs| 00000040 74 2c 20 74 68 65 20 6d 61 6a 6f 72 20 70 72 6f |t, the major pro| 00000050 64 75 63 74 20 6e 61 6d 65 20 66 6f 6c 6c 6f 77 |duct name follow| 00000060 65 64 20 62 79 20 74 68 65 20 73 75 62 2d 74 69 |ed by the sub-ti| 00000070 74 6c 65 3a 0a 3b 0a 4d 75 6c 74 69 53 74 6f 72 |tle:.;.MultiStor| 00000080 65 0a 76 65 72 73 69 6f 6e 3a 20 20 32 2e 30 32 |e.version: 2.02| 00000090 0a 3b 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 |.; | 000000a0 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 | | * 000000c0 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 0a 3b 20 4e 6f | .; No| 000000d0 77 20 74 68 65 20 61 63 74 75 61 6c 20 68 65 6c |w the actual hel| 000000e0 70 20 74 65 78 74 3a 0a 3b 0a 0a 20 20 20 20 20 |p text:.;.. | 000000f0 20 48 6f 77 20 74 6f 20 75 73 65 20 74 68 65 20 | How to use the | 00000100 4d 69 6e 65 72 76 61 20 53 6f 66 74 77 61 72 65 |Minerva Software| 00000110 20 54 65 78 74 20 52 65 61 64 65 72 0a 20 20 20 | Text Reader. | 00000120 20 20 20 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 00000130 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 00000140 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 7e 0a 0a |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~..| 00000150 2a 3e 48 65 6c 70 0a 54 68 69 73 20 74 65 78 74 |*>Help.This text| 00000160 20 72 65 61 64 65 72 20 68 61 73 20 62 65 65 6e | reader has been| 00000170 20 77 72 69 74 74 65 6e 20 66 6f 72 20 65 61 73 | written for eas| 00000180 79 20 62 72 6f 77 73 69 6e 67 20 20 6f 66 0a 4d |y browsing of.M| 00000190 69 6e 65 72 76 61 20 20 68 65 6c 70 20 20 66 69 |inerva help fi| 000001a0 6c 65 73 2e 20 20 54 6f 20 20 75 73 65 20 69 74 |les.
