There are a few things in C&B that could stand improvement. For instance, you can drag a saved transaction into the Check or Register window, and the program creates a new entry lor that transaction. Unfortunately, this action fails to assisrn a check number for the new trans- o action when the Check Number Preferences is set to Derive. Also, when you are printing checks, the Insert Paper requester appears four times! A more serious fault is that when you exit the program, it does not check with you to see if unsaved data exists. It al- ways asks if von are sure you want to quit, but if you click on “yes.” any unsaved work vanishes. Finally, something the otherwise clear manual fails to mention is that to install the program on your hard drive, you need to adcl an Assign statement to your User-Startup file in order to start the program from a datafile icon. These small quibbles aside, AmiSolt has come up with a fine way to let your Amiga replace your old checkbook. Rob Hays DiskSalv 3 Intangible Assets Manufacturing, $ 40 All Ami gas. 2. X 3,x compatible. Hard-drive installable. Not copy protected. Accelerator compatible. Minimum system: Harddisk, 1MB, AmigaDOS 2.x or later. Recommended system: AmigaGuide, accelerator. Powerful disk file maintenance and recovery software. DiskSalv 3 is ex-Commodore engineer Dave Ilaynie's first commercial implementation of this time-honored disk utility. With an accumulated nine years of steady development first as an in-house disk-repair tool at Commodore, and then later as one of the first programs to support both Localization and AmigaGuide DiskSalv enjoys a legendary reputation for restoring damaged disks. DiskSalv 3’s restoration abilities are, of course, dependent on the seriousness of the error or damage. When a disk's integrity is beyond repair, the program offers a veritable laundry list of’ways to j j salvage data from it. Out With the Old, In With the New It arrives on a single disk that uses the Commodore installer to position the program and its associated files on your hard drive, and you’ll find naiy a manual or booklet. 1AM made the environmentally conscious decision to place all documentation in AmigaGuide format. A few clicks of the mouse is all ii lakes to output the documentation to the printer, if you so desire. Merely listing and briefly describing DiskSalv 3’s myriad features would fill several review pages, so I’ll zero in on those improvements made over its earlier shareware versions. For starters, you’ll see a clever Workbench user interface that lets you cycle through a series of screen buttons and graphic gadgets.
