| Add Space Between Files When Printing ALL | When you set up the print format, you can just enter ALL to print out the whole file. Unfortunately, no space is printed between files. I could be wrong, but I think in most cases a space would be desired so I changed the routine so that whenever ALL is the print format, a blank | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |
| Cancel Name Reverse Routine | The name reverse routine can be cancelled out while operating with the following changes. Remember that any time you press ENTER the routine is activated and if you press the space bar, it is deactivated. You can switch back and forth as it runs if you wish. | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |

In the first file (the one that says “SEARCH IS COMPLETE”) 1 added a second line that holds 8 characters for the date such as 12/25/85. Any 8 characters (or less) can be used. When | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |
| TALLY or a SUM search on any line you select | One of the changes in this issue permits you to do a TALLY or a SUM search on any line you select. When I was limited to one line, I made little use of the SUM routine and no use of TALLY. Now I can set up a file for each of my products which | Timex/Sinclair 2068 |
| Thank you for your support | I want to thank everyone for your support. Many very complimentary letters have been received and repeat orders would certainly seem to imply satisfaction.
