JEPERS v2.03 Louis Miranda REGISTRATION $20.00 REFERENCE SCIENTIFIC DATABASE DATA JAN90 ~FILES: j203pgm.snd j203doc.sdn JEPRS (pronounced "Jeepers!") is the Journal and Editorial Personal Reference System. What does that mean? That means that you now have an easy to use, menu-driven program to keep track of reference citations to the (scientific) literature. Anyone who writes extensively, such as a scientist, and needs an up-to-date list of references, needs JEPRS. Briefly, JEPRS allows you to add references to your database (either directly or by importing a MEDLINE or BRS/Colleague formatted file), search through those references with an easy but powerful search module, and format those references for output to a file or printer in virtually any format imaginable, including boldface, italics, underlining, superscripts, and sub- scripts. Version 2.03: 14 January 1990; 138,884 bytes New feature: You can now add and search for "foreign" (non-English) characters in the PC's extended character set in your references: On the ADD REFERENCE and EDIT REFERENCE screens, you can add any character to your reference that your PC can display; characters not on the keyboard (such as "" or "" or "") are entered by holding down the [Alt] key and entering the ASCII code of the letter or symbol on the numeric keypad. For example, to enter a "beta", hold down [Alt], press [2],[2],[5], and then let go of the [Alt] key, and you should see on your screen. On the SEARCH MENU, you can also search for the extended characters you have entered into your references. (However, you cannot search for the box-drawing characters (such as ù).) When using these extended characters, and then searching for them, keep these facts in mind: 1. Make sure your printer can print them! Not all printers can print the PC's extended character set. 2. Realize that when searching, "a" is not the same as "" (that is, non-English characters do NOT match the English ones); if you entered "" in your reference, then you must use "" when searching for it. 3. Whether searching is set to CASE-SENSITIVE = NO or YES, JEPRS will NOT convert lowercase extended characters to their uppercase equivalents. For example, if you turn Case Sensitivity off, and search for "Lone", then JEPRS will convert that to "LONE" before searching; it will NOT convert it to "LONE".
