Syringa Software has redesigned SUPON (formerly specialized for grocery/supermarket coupons) as a general database application. SUPON now organizes and tracks objects numbered and stored in numerical sequence: e.g., a music library, wherein CD cases are numbered and stacked in sequential order on shelves; video library, wherein DVDs and/or tapes are similarly numbered and arranged; books_documents library; grocery coupons; or collection of any items that can be numbered and arranged in numeric order--for rapid identification and access. For historical reference and continuity, the name SUPON is retained.Following its upgrade to Version 2.0, SUPON now provides easy management of the kinds of objects described above. Writing or sticking a sequence number on each object of concern, you physically arrange objects in numbered order at your storage location. SUPON lets you name/describe and build/edit the database as desired. Then you can view and/or print it in several different ways in order to quickly identify and access any of its objects. Further, with SUPON, you can create and manage as many different databases as you wish--with no limit on size of each!When you run SUPON, initial screen is the file Open dialog, for selecting the desired database from files listed in SUPON?s Data folder. Each database includes a pair of data files: filename.cds and filename_cat.cds . Load a particular database by opening either file of its pair (select one and get the other as well). On your first run, you?ll see the sample files that were installed along with SUPON. Depending on your file selection, the table-listing that initially appears is a sample database built from actual CDs, DVDs, books, coupons, or blank table (blank to expedite new build). The non-blank tables are intended to illustrate how the program works but not to mandate how data should necessarily be entered in all the data fields. You can edit any of the sample databases, including name and headings, and can copy and rename sets of files, according to your preference. On program exit, the files you opened at entry are automatically saved, along with changes, if any.Although SUPON is easy to use, detailed help screens are provided, with step-by-step instructions and helpful suggestions.
