Hi. I got this reply from Mike Re computer program
"Thanks for the enquiry. Below is some information for you. If you need more please feel free to come back to me.
The computerised catalogue is something I sell. I sell the program and the data, which is the whole of the catalogue and a load of older boxes as well. I sell the data on behalf of Tony Moore who produces the catalogue twice a year. It is updated approximately once a month via e-mail.
You cannot download the computerised catalogue, you need to send me a cheque for the appropriate sum and I will then send it on via snail mail.
Cost is £25 for the program, £25 for the current data and updates are 75p per update via e-mail.
Facilities available include:
· for each stamp the following information can be stored: Name, walk name & number, stamp number, catalogue grid reference, your grid reference, whether deleted, catalogue description, your description, comments, where found, was there a stamp, type of box (traveller, normal etc.) date found, expiry date;
· Stamps can be displayed in order of name, number, grid reference, entry order, or by walk name;
· you can add, edit or delete (physically or just mark as deleted but retaining data) all stamps;
· import new and amended stamps from floppy disc;
· store function keys holding frequently used pieces of data for quick input;
· put an expiry date on stamps and automatically mark as deleted when expired;
· enter ½ or ° symbols or any other symbol that your computer supports;
· automatic entry of walk name, number, walk number and expiry date when you enter a walk stamp;
· maintain a data base of known places on the moor and their grid references along with a comment for each;
· find where: uses two points (known or fuzzy such as tor starting with C) and the bearings to them to find an unknown location (use the database with quick search routines), also displays the clue of the last stamp looked at while doing so and can them automatically transfer the generated grid, and a comment, back to the stamp as an additional grid (this additional grid will then be included in any further searches);
· amend the magnetic variation used in the find where function;
· selectively list stamps with many different ways of including/excluding certain stamps;
· produce a report including any range of stamps. Selectively add walks, ranges or individual stamps to the report. Quickly and easily move stamps up and down the report to achieve the desired search order. Print the report to screen to see how it will look then print to the printer. Save the report for later use if required;
· print on a windows supported graphical printer;
· search for obscure information such as all stamps having A or B as the second letter of their name and in grid square 7865 but only if the stamp was found after 05 Jan 95 (if you really want to do this!). All fields can be searched;
· stamps density report showing the best place on the moor to visit;
· backup and restore stamps and places database. Selectively backup to exchange clues with friends;
· anagram solver using the database of places;
· full windows based context sensitive help, just hit F1 if you are stuck;
