- TOPIC : M7LIB program for changing MDM7xx phone numbers
-
- FROM : IRV HOFF W6FFC

-
-
- M7LIB permits the user to quickly and very easily change the
- telephone numbers in the MDM7xx phone library. It automatically
- finds the phone library in MDM7xx.COM, lists the library and then
- (after asking it if looks normal) displays a command line:
-
-
- CTL-C abort, <C>hange, <D>elete, <P>rint lib, <R>ead, <W>rite :
-
-
- To change or alter any line (such as the "F" line), you would
- then type:
-
-
- CTL-C abort, <C>hange, <D>elete, <P>rint lib, <R>ead, <W>rite : CF
-
-
- The "C" would select "Change" and the "F" selects the line you
- wish to change.
-
- This same technique would be used to delete any line that is no
- longer needed. Using "DH" for example leaves the "D=" but
- clears the rest of the line.
-
-
- Whenever you change any line, you must go completely to the last
- column prior to the < at which time the new line is then added
- automatically and the new listing displayed. This sets a flag
- so if you hit CTL-C to abort it will ask if you want to update
- the file or abort with no changes. You can also use "W" to write
- the file to disk when finished with any changes.

-
- USING THE PROGRAM:
- -----------------
-
- This program works directly with the MDM7xx.COM file. It
- does not use or need the .ASM file at all.
-
- EXAMPLES: A>M7LIB MDM7.COM <ret> (1)
- A>M7LIB B:MDM7.COM <ret> (2)
- B>A:M7LIB MDM7.COM <ret> (3)
- A>M7LIB MDM7.COM ABC.COM (4)
- B>A:M7LIB B:MDM7.COM C:ABC.COM (5)
-
- 1) works only with the original file, altering it
- 2) the file can be on any selected disk
- 3) similar to (2) but M7LIB.COM is on another disk
- 4) if a 2nd file is named, it receives the changes
- 5) any of the files can be on any selected disk
-
-
- NOTE: Using M7LIB.COM to alter the telephone number library is
- surprisingly simple and fast. It does not however allow
- setting or resetting codes for SPRINT, MCI, etc. To do
- that you would need to use M7NM-x.ASM. (This also allows
- extensive changing with your editor, such as adding or
- removing the "1-" that is required in some areas for long
- distance dialing, etc.
