The latest beta (v3.1) will hopefully be up on the site shortly, as soon as I have the latest “Runtime Engine” to include. This is currently being completed. It will provide many improvements, such as making the drop down lists (“comboboxes”) work better than before.
This build will mainly contain changes to also allow the installation and running of the program under MS Vista. The Help pages are now in HTML (web page) format. The text on these pages has been manually altered in various places - so please let me know if it can be improved anywhere.
I haven’t yet tried PS with Vista, as I don’t have it. So, I’d appreciate any feedback if you are able to test it on a PC running Vista...

The new build has officially been released! It includes Fast Check-in, a new detailed Wants Check List, automatic field defaulting, change replication and more. There’s so much in it that I probably should’ve called it version 4!

There is a new Beta build on this site! This one features the new Fast Check-In form. It will allow you to simply check-off comics from your Wants List and have them added to your collection. There are a load of other new exciting features too - check out the Revision History.

A Beta containing the latest bunch of enhancements is now available on the Downloads page. If you have some spare time, I’d appreciate you giving it a test and letting me know if you find any problems. This Beta includes the subscription changes suggested by Peter Clark on the Discussion Forum and a new Runtime engine (which fixes amongst other things the cut, copy and paste buttons and improves XP integration). For the complete list of features check out the Revision History.

As you can see, I’ve revamped the web site. Hope it’s a bit easier on the eye.
There is a new PS Build ready but I’ve run out of web space so at some point this year, I’ll be moving www.panelsys.com to a new server with plenty of space. You may need to update your Browser bookmarks/favourites when this has happended...

US PanelSys user Justin B. emailed me to say he had spotted a problem with variants being incorrectly reported on the Wants List. I've fixed this so you'll need to download the latest Build (0212). Also, keep a look out for a new online Comic Guide (release 1.2) on the Downloads page soon...
|
|
|
Buy a PanelSys 2 Licence by the end of June and beat the price rise (from July the price will increase to £20 GBP/$32 USD).

I've implemented a few minor fixes and enhancements (download build 0211).

Build 0210 and Comic Guide 1.1 are now available for download. PS includes a new nifty search feature - matching on any part of a series name. You can find a list of the other changes in the ReadMe.txt file. As a "thank you" to the Beta testers, I will shortly be sending you all a "Panelologists Need PanelSys!" tee shirt.

I've uploaded "release candidate - Build 0210" on the Testers web site. Please let me know if you'd be willing to help test it. You can find a list of the changes in the ReadMe.txt file.

A new Build of PanelSys 2.0 has been released! And I've reduced the price by £5! This Build uses a new setup routine and includes the latest database "runtime engine". One new enhancement allows you to output reports in HTML, so that you can display your Wantslist/collection on your own web site. To make installing easier, and because so many users have Broadband, the setup file is no longer split into separate files.
|
|
|
I'm starting to promote PanelSys a bit more. Look out for fliers at UK Comic Marts, magazine adverts and newsgroup postings.

The Downloads page of this site has been updated. It now includes (zipped) notes on grading comics and manually working out their market values. To demonstrate how easy it is to download and automatically import price updates, I have also provided a very basic sample file of pricing data.

Version 2.0 launch date is 20th October! This is the first time that the product has been available to run under Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME/NT operating systems. The previous incarnation - PanelSys For DOS - which was first released in June 1995, has been well-received by comic collectors and has been developed continually since then, reaching version 1.9. The new Windows release builds on the existing functionality of the DOS version with many significant and useful enhancements.
|
|
|
The first "Beta" (BETA1) release of PanelSys For Windows 2.0 has just been sent out. If you're a volunteer tester then watch out for it appearing through your letter box shortly! I'd appreciate all of your feedback, via email, before October 10th....
