!AWApr94/Goodies/PowerBase/PBaseDoc/Miscell
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.

File contents
Miscellaneous features
======================
This file describes the various odds and ends which haven't been covered
elsewhere. Most are menu options controlling relatively minor features of
Powerbase.
Main menu choices
=================
Brief explanations follow for those main menu choices which have not been
explained in any other document.
Information
-----------
Shows the numbers of records in the six subfiles (0-6) together with the
date on which a change was last made to each. The total number of records
available in the database, the number in use, and the percentage usage, are
also given.
Current key
-----------
Gives the number of the currently-active index (the primary key index is
always 0) and the structure of the key in the form of the descriptor(s)
of field(s) used to construct the key (plus tag(s) if different from
descriptor(s)) and the number of characters from each of words 1-4.
Show keypad
-----------
Displays the keypad if you happen to have closed it or lost it behind the
record window. If the entry is shaded then the keypad has been deliberately
disabled by the designer of the database.
Export subset
-------------
This enables you to export a limited selection of the records as a
fully-functioning database. It leads to a dialogue box containing a writable
icon into which a search formula may be typed (see 'Printing'). The name of
the new database should be entered also (by default the name is "Subset" and
the pathname points to 'PrintJobs'.) Dragging the database icon to a
directory viewer results in a new database which contains only those records
which match the search formula. Note that the passwords which apply to the
main database apply also to the subset so this is not a method of getting
round the password protection. It is also possible that the designer of the
database may have disabled this option in which case the menu entry will be
shaded.
Save choices
------------
Saves within the database directory a text file called 'Choices' which
stores the status of the following options:-
(1) Validate input (ticked/unticked) (See 'Validation' sub-menu)
(2) Show relations (ticked/unticked) (See 'Validation' sub-menu)
(3) Warn of delete (ticked/unticked) (See 'Field' sub-menu)
(4) Save indices (Automatic, Warning, Manual) (See 'Miscellaneous'sub-menu)
(5) In quotes (ON/OFF) (See CSV options window)
(6) With header (ON/OFF) (See CSV options window)
(7) Include blanks (ON/OFF) (See CSV options window)
(8) With primary key (ON/OFF) (See CSV options window)
(9) With field data (ON/OFF) (See CSV options window)
(10) Separator (for CSV files) (See CSV options window)
(11) Terminator (for CSV files) (See CSV options window)
(12) Display (when importing CSV file) (See CSV options window)
(13) Case specific (ON/OFF) (See any window which has a
'Case specific' button)
(14) Warn of duplicates (ticked/unticked) (See 'Utilities' sub-menu off
icon-bar menu)
Help
----
A fairly extensive help application to supplement the short messages
provided via the Acorn !Help. It concentrates on telling you, briefly, how
to actually get things done and directs you to the fuller documentation in
these text files.
Sub-menu choices off the main menu
==================================
Field � Warn of delete
----------------------
When ticked a warning message is displayed if you are about to delete an
'External' field, i.e. one of the types 'Text', 'Text Block', 'Sprite',
'Picture' or 'Draw'. When unticked deletion of the external object proceeds
without further warning. Default state is ticked.
Validation � Validate input
---------------------------
When ticked fields linked to validation tables will allow only items in the
linked column of the table to be entered. This column is called the
validation list. When unticked all validation is bypassed and anything may
be entered. The keystroke equivalent is SHIFT/f8.
Miscellaneous � Colours
-----------------------
The following default colours are used to distinguish fields with certain
characteristics:-
Type Foreground Background
---- ---------- ----------
Descriptor of key field (inactive) dark blue -
Descriptor of key field (active) red -
Data icon of primary key field - pale yellow
Data icon of field linked to table dark green -
All these colours may be altered by the use of a dialogue box reached from
the above menu entry. Clicking with SELECT on the descriptor and data icons
within this window makes either the foreground or background (depending on
the setting of the two radio buttons) cycle through the available colours.
Clicking with ADJUST cycles through the colours in the opposite direction.
'Apply' allows you to see the effect of the changes and 'Defaults' enables
you to return the colours to what they were before, provided you haven't
clicked on 'Save choices'. The latter applies the new colours and saves the
changes so that they are effective next time the database is used.
Icon-bar menu options
=====================
Save choices
------------
Saves within the Powerbase directory a text file called 'Choices'. The items
stored in this file are the same as those already listed for the similar
entry in the main menu. Note, however, that whereas the main menu 'Save
choices' applies to the current database only, the icon-bar menu 'Save
choices' applies to Powerbase itself. The choices stored in this file will
be applied to any database which doesn't have a 'Choices' file of its own.
In other words by setting up the choices described earlier and clicking on
the icon-bar menu 'Save choices' you are configuring Powerbase to work in a
way which suits you.
Default choices
---------------
Choose this entry if you wish to return Powerbase to its original state
after using the 'Save choices' entry just described, or to override a
'Choices' file which is part of the database.
Help
----
Identical to the main menu 'Help'.
The 'Config' file
=================
This text file, which will be found in a subdirectory called 'Resources'
inside the Powerbase directory,allows the user to alter certain aspects of
Powerbase. Most users will be content with the deafault settings but special
circumstances may indicate a change.
Maximum fields per record
-------------------------
This defaults to 100. It may be set higher, if necessary, up to a maximum
value of 127. Small memory savings may be made by setting it lower if all
your databases have only a few fields.
Maximum number of indices
-------------------------
The primary key index is always index 0 and the value in 'Config' determines
the number of secondary indices you may define. The default is 10. If you
never use more than the primary key you may set this value to zero.
Maximum number of validation tables
-----------------------------------
The actual number permitted is one greater than the number in 'Config'
(which is 19 by default). You may set the value to 0 (thus allowing only one
validation table) but you must not set a negative value.
Separator in date fields
------------------------
By default this is a hyphen. You may wish to use a colon, full-stop, slash
or other character. Remember that you may TYPE any non-numeric character
when entering dates and Powerbase will re-format the field to use the
character specified in 'Config'.
Separator in time fields
------------------------
This refers to editable time fields, not automatic time-stamps. The default
separator is a colon. As in the case of dates, you may TYPE any non-numeral
you like during data entry and Powerbase will reformat the time as hh:mm:ss.
Launch new copy of Powerbase without closing current database
-------------------------------------------------------------
On the default setting (NO) double-clicking on a new database smoothly shuts
down the current database then opens the new one. If you change the setting
to YES then double-clicking on a new database will run a further copy of
Powerbase, leaving the current database open. This can be useful if you want
to access several databases at once, since Powerbase only supports the use
of a single database. If there is a dormant copy of Powerbase on the icon
bar (i.e. one with "No data" under its icon) then double-clicking a database
sends it to that copy rather than launching a new one.
Even with the NO setting you can load multiple copies of Powerbase by
double-clicking on Powerbase itself and then open a different database in
each by dragging the databases to the icons.
Both here and in the entry described below it is essential to leave at least
one space after YES or NO.
Replicate search formulae in relevant windows
---------------------------------------------
A search formula field and an associated 'Case specific' switch appear in
six of Powerbase's dialogue boxes, of which the 'Match' window will be the
most familiar. The contents of the fill-in field are normally blanked before
the window is opened and all six operate independently. It is possible,
however, to make an entry in one such field appear in all the others, so
that it is already present when the window opens, and also have all the
'Case sensitive' switches linked so that changing one changes them all. If
you wish to use this feature edit the final line of the 'Config' file to
begin with YES instead of NO.
Left-opening icon-bar submenus
------------------------------
This feature, which is available only under RISC OS 3, causes the submenu
arrows on the icon-bar menu to appear on the left-hand side instead of on
the right. Submenus are therefore opened on the left by moving the mouse to
the left. This avoids the overlapping of menus which can be something of a
nuisance if the Powerbase icon is near the right edge of the screen. Some
users, however, appear to dislike the left-opening menus very much so this
feature is provided as a configurable option. Simply change the beginning of
the line in 'Config' from NO to YES.
Background colour of record window
----------------------------------
This is normally colour 1 (light grey) but may be changed to any of the
other standard desktop colours. Only the record window (not the dialogue
boxes) is affected. The descriptors of key fields will still be light grey
unless you alter them to match the window background.
