MINFILE/pc Highlights:
 | MINFILE/pc is a user-friendly, DOS application for IBM-compatible
computers. |
| MINFILE/pc, through 12 menu-driven screens, enables the user to search
the MINFILE Database on a variety of exploration and/or geological
parameters. |
| MINFILE/pc can send the data, in 12 formatted reports, to the screen, a
file or a printer for viewing. |
| The data entry module allows the user to alter data in the MINFILE
Database. |
| New Program Features are:
| Georeferencing changes: location data handled in both NAD 27 and
TRIM/NAD 83 datums; output files and reports display either datum; new region
fields; and ability to enter world-wide locations. |
| New extract files and formats: in ASCII, dBASE and Worksheet
formats; Longitude/latitude in decimal degrees. |
| System configuration changes: ability to modify Code Tables;
configure own editor; select datums; specify coordinate working areas; and password
security to restrict access to read only. |
| Report and print enhancements: dBASE and Worksheet formats; set
default print device; and report preview feature with single page print. |
| Exploration database changes: flexibility to archive project
details; Exploration Database Coding Manual; export utility for all exploration project
data; search-driven batch delete function; and new searches by Mining Division, Regions,
Work Completed, Work End Date, and Projects associated with MINFILE searches. |
|
| In the January 1998 version of the software all searches have code table
lookups. |
| The September 1998 version incorporates a minor patch. |
| The next version will be Year 2000 compatible. |
