By the time this issue of Updates reaches you, I anticipate that I’ll be up to be up to my hips in Pro/File 2068 cartridge boards, eproms, and instruction books. So if you ordered one, expect it to arrive soon. Several people who had never used Pro/File 2068 asked what sort of instructions come with the new cartridge version. Here is what comes with the cartridge: 1 new copy of the Big Pro/File book; | copy of BREAKTHROUGH, the Pro/File addendum which shows you how to use the improved M.C. sorting facilities; and finally, a new 20 page instruction booklet which covers the new features of the cartridge such as the OR and NOT searching, use of the IBM keyboard, etc.
Unfortunately, I could not afford to cover details on the bank switching mechanism or other points on how the program works.(Booo!) That would have delayed production substantially, and the price would have to be adjusted accordingly to account for more writing and printing costs. Pro/File is already expensive enough. Rather than include this meaty information with the cartridge, I have decided to include it here in Computer Updates. (Hooray!) Many of the new features can be applied to other programs, so even if you don’t get the cartridge (Boohoo!), you can still see how it all fits together.
