RockRom 7 2001

I had been using this version of the program for some time before i released iyt. I also added some extra features that were not easy in the CD ROM version this program was now available as RockRom7 pro. The CD only version had the same data set and was named RockRom 7 standard. The pro version is much faster and the data structure is simplified, this makes the whole program/data set much smaller even though it contains more data.

It was released in 2 versions the CD version which needed the CD in the machine and a hard disk version which did not need the disk in place.

I used the basic hard disk version for future versions and updates as it worked so well and was fairly easy to add new features. I designed the program in small modules that were reused for other parts of the program.

The hard disk version proved most popular and worklded much better. I had hardly any customer with problems, the bugs were easily and quickly fixed.. And it worked much better. I also include a backup and restore program so that users could keep copies of the data they have added or changed.
