Homework Assignment #8

Homework: modify the HalloweenStore2005 application

- see homework 7 where I gave out the RegisterUser2005
   and HalloweenStore2005 application

- modify HalloweenStore2005 application to change the 2 files
   that it uses:
      categories.dat
      products.dat
   Change them to:
      categories.txt
      products.txt
   Where both are simple text files
      that use text strings instead of binary data.
      use Notepad to make up your own data for these files,
      e.g. categories, products, prices.
      You need to have at least 2 categories
      and at least 2 products in each category.
      Change the IO code in the application
      to read your text strings instead of the binary data.

- to get credit for this assignment,
   Run your program for the instructor
   then run Notepad to add another category and product in that category
   and then run your program so the instructor can see the new product
   and category.
   
- hint:
   set up the structure of each file so it is easy for your program
   to access the data.

Note: we have previously covered how to write strings to a text file
   but not how to read strings from a text file.
   Use the help facility to do some research.
