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.

            NOTES ON INSURANCE DATABASE

The program "B.Insce" is a dedicated database which will
allow you to record and update the contents of your house
and so make sure that you are always fully insured.

The program is fully menu driven and will allow you to enter
or amend records and search for specific descriptions or
values. You can save and load files to and from disc o
tape, sort the records into alphabetical or value order and
output any of these details to a printer if required. There
is a facility to adjust the value of a particular group of
items by a percentage amount which you enter. The program
also gives you access to the Operating System for operations
such as locking or unlocking files.

The program will hold 150 records with PAGE at the normal
&1900 for disc users. Tape only users will be able to
increase the number of records as they will operate with
PAGE at &E00. The maximum number of records allowed can be
changed by altering the value of Z% in line 20. The number
of records held on the file will be Z%-1.

When first LOADed and RUN the program has to dimension the
various arrays used. This takes a few seconds, so be
patient. The main menu will then be displayed.

One useful feature to notice is that EXCEPT DURING SAVE AND
LOAD OPERATIONS you can return to the Main Menu without
losing data by pressing ESCAPE once, and then pressing upper
case "M". If by mistake you press ESCAPE more than once you
can recover the program and the data by typing "GOTO 50"
providing you have not pressed BREAK.


Let's go through the Menu options in detail :


1- Enter new record

The program will find the first available record number to
use and display this number at the top of the screen. If all
available records are in use this will be reported. (Note
the maximum number of records is one less than the value of
Z% in line 20 of the program. If you only want to keep a few
records on file then reducing the value of Z% will make the
program run much faster.)

When adding a new record you will be able to enter 4
seperate fields.
Item description : 23 characters long
Item type        :  2 characters long
Room code        :  2 characters long
Value            :  8 characters long

To use these fields correctly you first need to decide on
the various Item Types you wish to list, and then devise
your own 1 or 2 character alpha-numeric code for each Item
Type. For example you could give Furniture the code "F",
Electrical items "EL", Computer Equipment "CE", Curtains and
other Soft Furnishings "SF". Getting organised to start with
will allow you to make the best use of the facilities this
software offers.

Use a similar idea to devise a 1 or 2 character code for
your rooms - Living Room "LR", Study "S", Master Bedroom
"B1", Kitchen "K".

The value of each item is subject to a minimum of 10 pence
and a maximum of #99999.99 per item. In practice these
restrictions should not be of any importance. Any values
outside these ranges will be reported.

When entering the value of an item only numeric characters
plus one decimal point will be accepted. After you have
entered a five figure # value a decimal point will
automatically be printed, ready for you to enter any pence
to the value.

When all four fields have been entered you will be given the
chance to accept the data you have typed in, or to press "N"
and enter it all again. If you have only made a slight
error, the quickest way of correcting it is to press "Y" to
accept the data, and then immediately use the Amend option
from the Menu (see details of this below).


2 - Amend existing record

From the first page of the Amend option you can choose the
record number to amend, "S" to Search for a record if you
don't already know the record number, or "M" to return to
the Main Menu. Your input here must be followed by RETURN.
Once you have chosen a record number the cursor keys and
COPY key will work normally to allow easy editing. Pressing
RETURN will leave the field you are amending unaltered.


3 - Search record

It is possible to search on any of the four fields by
choosing options 1 - 4 from the Search Menu. If you want to
display all the records on file select option 1, 2 or 3 and
then in response to "Enter data to search on" just press
RETURN. All the records will be displayed. To search for
specific Item Descriptions, Item Type or Room Codes type in
a few characters of the field you are searching on. All
items which match the search you have requested will be
displayed along with their record number.

After the "Enter data to search on" prompt you will be asked
if you want a hard copy of the search. If you ask for a
printed copy the program checks that a printer is attached
and available to print. You can tell the program that you
are printing on single sheet paper (this is taken as A4
size), or on roll paper. Single sheet output will print 50
records and then wait for you to check the paper supply.
Roll paper output will print out all records being searched
for without any further prompts.

If you have selected no hard copy output, then to move
backwards and forwards through the list of records use the
up and down cursor keys. If the monitor goes blank for a
moment after you have pressed a cursor key it is because the
program is searching for the next record to display.

Imagine the list of records as being on a long roll of paper
with item 1 at the top. Press the down cursor key to move
down the list. When you reach the end of the list the
message "End of File" will be displayed. At this point you
can step back up the list by pressing the up cursor key, or
press the down cursor key when a total value of the listing
will be displayed. You can only exit at the bottom of the
list (high item number) or by presing "M" instead of a
cursor key. At the end of the Search the total value of the
items displayed will be shown. Press "M" for the Main Menu.

Searching on the Value will produce a list of items of value
+ or - #25 on the value you typed in.


4 - Delete record

Select the record you want to delete as when Amending a
record. The record you have selected will be displayed and
the program will ask if this is the correct record to
delete. Pressing "N" will leave the record intact and return
you to the Main Menu. Pressing "Y" will delete the record
from the file.


5 - Save current file

Once the program has checked that there is valid data in
memory you will be given the option to SAVE to tape or disc.
The current file name will be displayed. Press RETURN to
over-write this file, or type in any other valid file name
for the filing system you are using.

If saving to disc and the file name you have chosen already
exists you will be asked if you wish to over-write the file
or abort the SAVE routine. Whenever this happens the file
found on disc will have been un-locked. If you keep your
files locked as a means of protection remember to use option
9 from the Main Menu to re-lock it.

If the file name you have chosen does not already exist on
disc the file will be saved with no prompt being given.

Tape users make sure you have a blank tape in the recorder!


6 - Load new file

If valid data exists in memory you will be given the option
to continue with the LOAD by pressing upper case "L", or to
abort back to the Main Menu by pressing any other key.
Remember that loading in a new file will destroy all
existing data in memory.

If you decide to continue with the LOAD you will be able to
select either the tape or disc filing system. Type in the
file name you wish to LOAD.

If using disc and the file does not exist then this will be
reported. If using tape the computer will continue searching
for the file until found and will report any errors in
LOADing.

Any attempt to load a file not created from within this
program will generate an error which will end the LOAD
routine. In this case any existing data will remain in
memory but no new file will have been loaded.


7 - File sort

A file sort can be carried out on any of the four fields. On
the Item Description, Item Type or Room Code the records
will be put into appropriate alphabetic order. A sort on the
Value will put the lowest value first.

With 150 or more records, each having four fields, the sort
routine can take several minutes. It's best to make sure you
have the data saved to tape or disc first - just in case -
and then set the program up to sort on the field you wish -
then go and make a cup of coffee! If the records are already
in almost the correct order the sort will be very quick.

When the sort is finished the Main Menu will be displayed.
You will notice that all valid files have been moved down
towards the bottom of the list.

In practice you won't need to do a sort every time you use
the program. The main benefit of having this sort routine is
to provide an ordered print-out.


8 - Group value adjustment

This option allows you to adjust the value of a group of
items, based on their Item Type code, by a plus or minus
percentage amount. For instance you may find that the cost
of replacing furniture goes up by a few percent each year,
whilst the cost of replacing electronic equipment seems to
be staying about the same, or in some cases even falling.

Getting the Item Type codes correct when you first set up
your database will allow you to get the most benefit from
this facility.

If during an adjustment calculation a value is created of
greater than #99999.99 or less than 10 pence then this will
be reported and the program will wait for you to acknowledge
before continuing. Any value of more than #99999.99 will be
stored as #99999.99 and any value of less than 10 pence will
be stored as 10 pence.


9 - OS Command

This option will give you access to the Operating System
commands. To return to the Main Menu from this option enter
"M" plus RETURN.

It is vital to remember that any command which uses computer
memory such as *COPY, *COMPACT, *BACKUP etc will destroy the
program and data. Commands such as *ACCESS, *DELETE, *CAT,
*INFO etc are perfectly OK.

If you enter an invalid command this will be trapped by the
PROCerror routine in the program and you will be given the
opportunity to return to the Main Menu by pressing upper
case "M" without loss of data.


0 - Finish with program

Always exit the program through this option so that the
computer keys are returned to their normal functions.

Pressing "0" will cause the program to check for any valid
data (this is done by looking for the values of items). If
no data is present the program will end immediately. If
valid data is found then pressing "Q" will Quit the program,
any other key will return to the Main Menu without loss of
data.
