Tanken
v1.1
Just
after I bought my first car (a VW Golf I from 1983), I
kept track on the fuel consumption of it. At first I
registered it on a piece of paper. A few month later (my
first car was already smashed by a big Mercedes) I wanted
to do some programming in Clipper. These two things came
together and I made a program that creates databases to
register the fuel consumption of multiple cars and/or motorcycles. The program is written in Clipper v5.2 © . The mouse
procedures are written in assembly (Masm v5.10 ©) to
speed up the mouse actions. I linked the program with
RTlink v3.14B. All source files are edited with the
MS-DOS editor (simple but effective). Although it is a
DOS program, it has been tested under Windows 3.11, 95/98, XP and Vista
(runs perfectly).
Here are some features of
the program:
- Easy to use menu
structure
- Simple data input and
select windows
- Allows registering
data of multiple cars
- Fuel consumption
calculated in km/L and in L/100km
- Calculates the total
amount of km and the average fuel consumption
- Creates, opens and
saves all database files automatically
- Overview of all data
from a car can be displayed on the screen or be
send to a printer
- Cars are registered
on their number plates
- Additional field for
remarks are available
If you fill your fuel tank always to the maximum this program is ready for use.
The first version I called
1.0. But after 5 years the program did not behave very
well after the millennium. So I had to adjust a few minor
things, this now is called version 1.1. In the future I
would like to write a full Windows version with Delphi
but I don't know if I have the time for this. The program
has Dutch texts and allows only Dutch number plates to be
entered (or similar plates), but if there is enough
demand I can rewrite it with English texts and no
restrictions to the number plate. Just let me know by
e-mail and I will see ...
This program is freeware, but if you find it useful and are
going to use it please send me an e-mail. I would like to
keep track on this program.
