Version 2.3 November 2002.

This is a trial version of the program RandomData.
It is an early version, and feedback is welcome.

To install, use WinZip, or other tool to unpack the program, you may put it into any folder you choose, for instance C:\RANDOM\.

Then run the program by double clicking on RandomData.exe.

You may also make a shortcut to the program, and put this on your desktop.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Revision 2.2
Included facility for USA style towns, states and zip codes.  These remain consistent, when you 
make the same field twice - with or without the zip code as part of the state field.

What RandomData does:-

RandomData is a program that generates realistic looking data.  It makes records as comma-separated data, which can easily be inserted into databases, such as Microsoft Access.

It makes database work more fun!  It is intended for anyone working in the field of Database utilities, as a quick method of making test data - testing with real looking data, rather than dull auto-generated values.

The fields it generates can be chosen easily, with a simple tick box.  You can choose fields such as Identity, name, address, email address, value, date, and film title.  For fun, the film title can be specified as a Carry On film, or a Dr Who title!  The values are consistent - so a name you choose also ends up in the email, if you chose both fields.

The identity numbers are generated to fall within a certain range, and be unique, so you can generate a key upon this field, and not worry about duplications, and yet still have them be randomly ordered.

Note that the variation in fields varies - there are only so many first names a person can have!  On the other hand, fields like towns, and email addresses can have millions of values, since they are generated.


**Shareware limitations**

The shareware version does not offer new updates, and limits you to 250 records generated at a time.  The full version has no limits, so can generate millions of records in minutes, and costs $50, or equivalent currency.  
See web page for price list.

I take PAYPAL for credit card payments.  Other payment methods should be in pounds sterling, otherwise
I will incur a bank charge, and would add this to the price of the product.  No extra charge for PayPal.

PayPal payments go to payment@RealisticRandomData.com

Email me if you would like the full version - you must already have the shareware version, and you 
need to mail me the license key as shown at the top - please copy it exactly, or use copy and paste.  

The full version of the program you receive back will only work in the same computer! If you move
computers, you will need a new version, which I will provide within reason.  In such cases, I will
of course check your email address against records, and will need the new license key in order to make
a new package up for you.  Sorry about the inconvenience of this, but copying of software makes 
this rather necessary and this is a very low-priced product, and at the same time highly specialist.

Full version of software is always emailed.  Special arrangements can be made to create CDs.


Depending on popularity, I may offer credit card facilities in the future.
