channel-e information in an electronic age.
Our street wardens (at Calderdale) needed a data collection application for use on their handhelds. I didn't have any time for development at work so I wrote these in my own time. The wardens are using Sharp Zaurus machines.
These applications both run under a GUI. Communication with the database is via wireless network.
This was the first application written. It allows the wardens to fill a form on the display. Drop down lists are provided for warden name and action code. These lists can be updated from the database. On returned to the office the reports are added to the database.
The wardens wanted to be able to search existing reports whilst out in the field. This application enables this by downloading a serialized copy of the reports table. The file is recreated every four hours by the house keeping routine in the itres application suite.
No current activity in this package. The itres suite is being developed to include:
I want to improve the record search speed of DataReader but I don't know how.

At version 2.3 and now quite stable.
At version 0.4.2. Previous versions received the report file in plain text. This version uses serialized ReportRecord objects.
