JOURNEY V1.1 

INTRODUCTION:

Journey is a utility to maintain and search timetables for routes between
two places.

The program is basically in two parts, one to enter and edit timetables,
and one to search them for the best journey.

The program is still in a relatively early state and I hope to release a
version with an improved user interface soon.

DISCLIAMER: The author believes this program to be correct (with the 
exception of any known problems documented here). This does not mean that
the program is warrantied for any purpose. Responsibility for checking the
correctness of any input/output resides with the user.

            is individually tailored to prevent other users from accessing

INSTALLATION :

The following files are provided and should be copied into the appropraite
directories.

JOURNEY.OPA   any /APP/ directory
JOURNEY1.LIB  any /OPO/ directory
RJSLIB1.LIB*

Journey can then be installed in the normal manner.

* = Same file as in XFILE12 and APACK11 and NOREV13.



HOW TO USE :

The following notes are that, notes. Full documentation is intended for
future versions but this may depend on the number of registered users.
(there is little point in documenting a program if only I find it of use)


Setting up:

To use the program you first have to enter the timetables using the SETUP
option from the main menu.

Files should be created in the following order.

a) LOCATIONS : details of the various stop points in each timetable

b) MODES : details of the journey's mode ir Bus, Train etc..

c) PROTOTYPES : A general layout of a journey giving the average times
between the stops made within a journey.

d) JOURNEY : Details of the Specific journeys within the timetable. These
details are defaulted from the associated prototype to save typing.

e) TIMETABLE : The final file. This is automatically generated from the
above files.

Once you have set up the data the rest should be self explanatory, but 
please feel free to write if you have problems.



CURRENT LIMITATIONS/PROBLEMS:

- Error checking is limited especially relating to checks for files existing.
- EDIT/VIEW/DELETE option has a tendancy to skip records. This does not
  actually cause any problems, but is a little annoying. I do not plan to
  correct this because the next release will probably have a redesigned
  user interface
- It is planned that the dialog screens will be altered as part of the
  new user interface in future versions. This will make using the software
  easier.
- Searches for journeys starting before midnight but ending afterwards are
  currently not implemented (exepect in one particular case). This is not a 
  bug, but a deliberate ommission at this time.
- Future changes will include a means of defining a way of setting up info
  on times to travel between one location and annother when this is not via
  a timetabled service, ie It takes 2 minutes to get from Aberdeen railway
  station and Aberdeen bus station. This will allow these to be set as 
  different locations and give more accurate journey statistics.


       COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME.
