- FED 1.11 (Form Editor, Filler, and Printer)
-
- Usage: FED [DRIVE:\PATH\FILENAME] [ONLY]
-
- A flexible and easy-to-use form filler program. Create a form with any
- text editor, then use FED to fill it out and print it. If the command
- line is empty or a directory is entered without a file name or there
- are wild card characters (* or ?) in the file name, FED will pop up a
- list of files to choose from. Wild card characters will restrict what
- files are displayed in the list. If the keyword ONLY is specified after
- the file name you will not be able to choose another file from inside
- the program.
-
- The file name entered on the command line is a standard ASCII text file.
- FED uses the file as a form with input fields designated by a series of
- underlines (underscores) with a leading space. The user will be able to
- enter text into these fields. The form can be printed or saved to a file
- with the information that was entered into the fields. The input file
- itself is not changed unless you overwrite it when saving to a file.
-
- There are three types of files you can save: a standard Text File that
- is similar to the printed output, a special Form File that contains the
- form and field information, and a Data File that contains the fields
- only. The Form File can be read back into the FED program any time with
- the information entered into the fields still in place. This is a way
- to place defaults into the form. You will be able to add, change, and
- delete information in the fields and also print it and save the changes.
-
- The Data File saves the data in fields but not the actual form. You have
- a choice of three types of data files: One field written per line, fixed
- length fields written as one record, and character delimited fields. The
- type that has one field per line is actually a text file because each
- field ends with a carriage return and a line feed. The fixed length file
- writes each field, one after another, space filled so that the length of
- each field matches the field length in the form. The delimited data file
- allows a <tab> or other character to be written between each field in
- the file.
-
- NOTE: When printing a form to your printer, fields that begin with an
- underline (underscore) will be printed with all remaining underlines in
- that field. Fields that start with another character will NOT print any
- underlines with that field.
-
- These are the file and input field limits of the form editor program:
- Maximum number of records (lines) in the form (file): 800
- Maximum number of characters displayed from one line: 80
- Maximum number of input fields on one screen (24 lines): 120
- Maximum number of input fields in complete form: 2000
