May 19, 2009 – Beta Testing New Search Function

With Horacio having finished scanning the rest of the 80 Micro‘s, and with Thomas McNair busily scanning missing SoftSide’s, I have used my extremely limited knowledge of HTMLized SQL to expand the (now deleted) “80 Micro Magazine Search Page” to a “TRS-80 Magazine Search Page”. Right now it can accept Softside or 80 Micro (through some fairly sloppy coding which will NOT scale well once additional types of magazines are added), and I have added SoftSide Issue 39 to the NEW Database.

If anyone is interested in helping convert tables of contents to lines of database code, please contact me. It will basically involve typing in the tables of contents in a specific way, and you can do as little or as much as you want.
