PC-HyperText Architect Version 1.6 User's Manual Copyright 1990-1992, Synergistic Consultants, Incorporated. November, 1992 Table of Contents Introduction Page 1 Setup Page 2 Valid Options Page 5 Runtime Parameter File Format Page 7 End of Line characters Page 8 Passwords Page 9 File names and keys Page 11 Editor Commands Page 12 Text Processor Commands Page 13 Disclaimer Page 19 Order Form Page 20 Introduction: This program is intended for non-commercial, evaluational purposes only. The PC-HyperText Architect program is designed to allow the computer user to design color screens with music and Hyper Text buttons with simplicity for any IBM PC or AT and compatible. The minimum configuration is: Hard Disk drive or High density disk drive (a low density drive could be used for very small applications). Monochrome, CGA, LCD or EGA/VGA display 640K of memory This program uses a central database of item names and associated information that designate the location and length of each entity created. This version allows the following entities: Help screen or window Songs. Static text screen. Passwords. File names. The Master Index file contains the information needed to access and retrieve each of these entities. The Screen file contains the definition of each screen or song in the database. The physical location (file, offset, length, etc.) is stored in the Master Index file, and the logical name (32 characters, non-case sensitive) is used to find these entities in this file. Any song, screen or Hyper Text button is referenced with this logical name. A Hyper Text button is an area on the screen that is sensitive to the mouse or the cursor, and results in a song or screen stored in the Screen file to be displayed or played. When the cursor is positioned without the mouse, the TAB and BACKTAB keys move between active Hyper Text buttons and the ENTER key selects the next item to display or play. The ESC key returns to the previous screen. The mouse's left button is analogous to the ENTER key, and the right button performs the same function as the ESC key. This program is menu driven, and takes little practice to master. Setup: To extract the program and associated files, type these commands (or the equivalent): Note that d: is the disk drive that is to contain the programs, and s: is the external source disk drive. d: MD \PCSCREEN CD \PCSCREEN COPY s:PCSCEV16.ZIP . COPY s:README.A16 . COPY s:PKZ101.EXE . PKZ101 PKUNZIP PCSCEV16.ZIP The files require over 600K of disk space including the files distributed with the PKUNZIP program (the PK* files may be deleted if you so desire). To run the Song / Screen Generator, type: BTCHBLDR /V TALNDEMO.RTP This invokes the Song / Screen Generator in demo mode with the Parable of the Talents from the New Testament of the Bible as the example. Whenever a screen is displayed, and a key needs to be typed to continue to the next screen or cursor position, three short beeps are heard on the computer's speaker. After these beeps type any key (Carriage Return, or space for instance), and the next step in demo will be executed. Any application generated with this package can be run in this mode also. Another set of demos are on this disk that demonstrate the Supervisory mode of this program. Type: BTCHBLDR /S SUPRDEMO.RTP This demo shows how password records can be displayed in Supervisory mode. A Master Index and Screen file of songs are on this disk and may be viewed with the following command: BTCHBLDR /V SONGDEMO.RTP This is a slideshow of songs and screens, and requires no intervention. Type Cntl C or ESC to abort this program. To run the program in interactive mode, type: BTCHBLDR /I This begins the program in interactive mode where the input files and the configuration can be specified (e.g. demo mode, output to the screen, etc.). The first prompt asks if all input should be taken from a file. This is where the input saved by this program (in the file specified at the second prompt) is specified so unaided generation of screens may take place. The next prompt asks if all fields should be written out to a file. This feature should be used if screens are to be rebuilt often, each field is saved into the specified file for use later. Of course, the bifurcations at questions may be different (e.g. if files exist the second time) so care must be taken. If input is taken from a file, then single step or demo mode may be selected. In demo mode, when each field is input, three short beeps are heard on the speaker and then the program waits for a keystroke from the keyboard (type any character except ESC). The Master Index file name is requested from the operator, with the password. The passwords for the default files are: PCSCREEN.MDX External Password: PASSWORDMDX Internal Password: MDXPASSWORD PCSCREEN.SCR External Password: PASSWORDSCR Internal Password: SCRPASSWORD Supervisory External Password: SUPERPASSWORD Internal Password: PASSWORDSUPER The Master Index file contains the name and location of every screen, song and item in the database. The Screen file name is requested from the operator with its password next. This file contains all the HyperText screens and the songs in the database. After this, a blue screen shows the control record of the Master Index File that was specified. The program after this point is almost self-explanatory. The fields entry allows the use of the cursor key pad to edit the field. The insert, delete, page up, and page down keys are all supported. Notice that the screens that have HyperText links in them are type 10 (Major Help Screen for Help Level 2) or type 11 (Minor Help Screen for Help Level 1) but the ones that are the end of a chain of HyperText or do not have HyperText links are type 12 (Screen Commands). The Help levels are used in the new PC-APPLICATOR product, and allow the designer to choose the size and detail of two levels of help. This could be used by screen designers with this version of PC-HyperText Architect for upward compatability with future releases. A good suggestion is to choose option number 4 on the main menu and step through the screens one by one to examine each one. The following screen files and Master Index Files are on this disk: SONGS.MDX (* Master Index file for songs. *) SONGS.SCR (* Screen file for songs. *) TALENTS.MDX (* Master Index file for Parable *) TALENTS.SCR (* Screen file for Parable *) PCSCREEN.MDX (* Supervisory and password demo *) PCSCREEN.SCR (* Empty with this version. *) PCSCR$$$.MDX (* Master Index file for BTCHBLDR *) PCSCR$$$.SCR (* Screen file for BTCHBLDR *) All of these files have a secret Supervisory pass key except PCSCREEN.MDX. This file uses the default Supervisory pass key. See the section in the user's guide about Valid Options or Passwords for more information about pass keys. These files all have passwords. The Runtime Parameter files contain the external passwords in them. The SONGS files contains some songs to demonstrate the music capability of this system. The TALENTS files contain a tutorial on one of the parables of the New Testament of the Bible. The PCSCR$$$ files are the internal files used by the Song / Screen Generator itself. A description of the text processor commands may be found later in this file. These commands allow the user to build windows of color static text in a manner similar to a text processor. Once you build your own screens with Hypertext capabilities (see the example TXT files for ideas), you may test them with selection 6 on the main menu of the Song / Screen Generator program. The starting or initial screen is prompted for when you select option 6. After entering the initial screen's name, everything is automatic. The Hypertext capability is database driven from the Master Index File and Screen File generated with the Batch Screen Builder program. The initial screen name: DEMO_INITIAL_SCREEN invokes the same set of HyperText help screens used by the Batch Screen Builder program (the password for this screen is the same as for the Screen file: PASSWORDSCR). The SONGS files contain songs to replay. Run the BTCHBLDR program and specify SONGS.MDX for the Master Index file, and SONGS.SCR for the screen file. Choose option 4 to cycle through those screens. A runtime parameter file is provided called: SONGS.RTP for your convenience. The TALENTS files contain a short tutorial on the Parable of the Talents in the New Testament of the Bible. Choose option 6 and specify START_THE_TALENTS_PARABLE at the prompt, this steps the user through the tutorial. The runtime parameter file: TALNDEMO.RTP begins the talents parable in demo mode, as described before. The runtime parameter file: TALENTS.RTP begins the Batch Screen Builder with the talents database for your interactive perusal. Another file: PCSCR$$$.ERR, is required in the directory that BTCHBLDR is run. This file contains the error messages for runtime errors encountered in the Song / Screen Generator. Valid Options: The following options are available (or proposed) for use: /I - Interactive input for initialization (replaces the *.RTP file). /L - Use the LCD color table specified in the Runtime parameter file (overrides the autosense nature of the software to detect the display type). /P - Process using the prompt file instead of the Menu, Form, and associated files. This gives bootstrap capability to applications that need further testing of the menus and forms. It runs slower, but the menus and forms may be more volatile until the application is stable. (Not available with the evaluation version 1.6). /D - Use defaults for: Keyboard input file = NONE Keyboard audit trail file = NONE Screen output = YES Sound output = YES Demo mode = NO Printf escape character = ~ (Also used in defining HyperText screens in the Production version of this program). Monochrome VLT values = 0 .. 15 CGA VLT values = 0 .. 15 EGA/VGA VLT values = 0 .. 15 LCD VLT values = 0 .. 15 End of Line characters = 9 222 5 13 155 21 4 27 0 0 96 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 /F - Use defaults for the Master Index file and screen files: Master Index file = PCSCREEN.MDX Password for above = BLANK Screen file = PCSCREEN.SCR Password for above = BLANK Note: BTCHBLDR /D /F is the same as an *.RTP file with the above defaults. /S - Supervisory mode for extended debugging and utility functions such as password perusal. In Supervisory mode, internal passwords are displayed whenever any records are displayed. An internal Supervisory password cannot be viewed without entering it. This prevents people that know the external Supervisory password from viewing or changing the internal one (the Supervisory pass key is also displayed with the Supervisory password as the file name). /K - User provided pass key. The option: /Kxxxxxxx designates the string: 'xxxxxxx' (32 chars. max.) as the current pass key for Supervisory password processing. This gives the operator the capability to encrypt the Supervisory password with a unique key. The Master Index file specified at startup must have this pass key in its control record or the Batch Screen Builder aborts (unless the Master Index file was created at startup). This will prevent people from modifying or trashing your valuable data without this key. If this option is not used, a default pass key is used. This pass key is: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ123456 Anyone creating a Supervisory password should give this string, (or the one with the /K option) at the prompt: Enter the file name this password protects: When creating a password from the main menu (option 7). This gives another level of protection for the designer's data (without this, anyone could create a Supervisory password, and view or modify your data). /E - User error recovery. (Not available in evaluation version 1.6). /J - Open journal file that logs all I/O operations. This file(s) are named: ERROR$$$.Lxx, and are recreated whenever this option is used. This option can only be used in Supervisory mode. (Not available in evaluation Version 1.6). /T - Audit trail file is opened for tracing procedure calls. (Not available in evaluation version 1.6). /R - Row/Column mode for the X and Y coordinates input, format is: Y, X instead of X, Y as usual. /V - View only or read only mode. Records can only be viewed, not modified. Passwords cannot be viewed. The /S option (Supervisory mode) overrides this flag. If the Master Index file and the Screen file need a password, viewing cannot be done without knowing them. /U - User HyperText mode. When this option is used, the last line in the xxxxxxxx.RTP file specifies the name of the screen to display as the entry screen. With later versions of this program, imbedded programming language commands or menu commands may allow applications to be built this way. (Not available in evaluation Version 1.6). /M - Inhibit the internal Master Index from being used. This option is for the production version, when rebuilding a new database version, or for sidestepping the entry screen. (Not available with evaluation Version 1.6). /C - Custom version string. The option: /Cxxxxxxx allows running this software with databases that had other version strings than the default version string. Any data generated will inherit this version string. (Not available with evaluation Version 1.6). /A - Any version string. The data generated with this option will work with any version of this software. This is useful for data intended for the public domain to be freely used. (Not available with evaluation Version 1.6). The format of the Runtime parameter file (*.RTP) is: Keyboard input file if batch or demo modes Audit trail log file for keystrokes Demo mode flag (YES or NO) Process delay for delaying between fields (used in batch mode to slow down processing so it can be viewed). Screen output flag (YES or NO) Sound output flag (YES or NO) Alternate escape character for SPRINTF(). This controls the special format sequences. For example: '%~s' is a pointer to a pointer to a string variable in SPRINTF(). The default character is: '~'. This will also be used as an alternate way to specify a HyperText screen and a HyperText button in the Production version of this product. A '~' in the first column will specify the name of a HyperText screen, the '~' preceeding an identifier within the text will denote a HyperText button. ~MAIN_ENTRY_SCREEN This program has ~3DataBase, and ~4Networking capabilities. . . . The words DataBase and Networking are defined HyperText screens, and the highlight colors are 3 (Cyan) for DataBase, and 4 (Red) for Networking. This feature is to be in the Production version (not available in the Evaluation version). Master index file name Master index file password Screen file name Screen file password Monochrome VLT or color table, sixteen values that are the actual values sent to the screen when that color number is selected. CGA color table EGA/VGA color table LCD color table End of Line characters. Supervisory password or User initial screen name (/U option). End of Line characters description: This is an array of eighteen character codes that are accepted as the terminators for fields. The following are given special positional significance: Position 1 and 10: TAB character Position 2 and 11: BACKTAB character Position 3 and 12: End of Form Position 4 and 13: Carriage Return Position 5: Tab-o-matic flag, set to non-zero, denotes that the cursor should advance to the next field if a destructive character is typed in the last position of the input field. Position 6 and 15: Field above character - moves to the field above Position 7 and 16: Field below character - moves to the field below Position 8 and 17: Abort character, usually ESC The alternate positions are to allow non-printable or odd key combinations for batch input in forms. Position 12 defaults to the grave accent or circumflex character, so forms may be terminated in batch mode. Passwords: This program allows passwords on files. Each entity associated with that file inherits the password that protects the file. A blank password is not processed, and allows infinite access to the data associated with the password. A password, like all other entities, has a record in the Master Index file. To protect shared data bases, each password has an internal or hidden password associated with it. When a database is shared with others, the internal password is not known to everyone using it, just the external password or the password key. This prevents people from taking the useful data generated by you and using it for their programs. The external password is 32 characters, and can be any character sequence, and is always case sensitive. The internal password is the same, but is encoded into a form that is not readable by just glancing at it. When using a program, the external password must be known to use the data, but to change the internal password, the current internal password must be known. Only someone in Supervisory mode can view the password field of any record. The option to change a password in the main menu of the Song / Screen Generator program allows new password records to be added, or existing passwords to be changed. Three tries are given for completing these operations: external password search in Master Index file and the validation attempts against the Master Index file record for the file that the password protects. Three tries are also given for the internal password verification if the internal password is to be changed. This process can be confusing, but gets easier with practice. If the operator is one that can create a password, a new password record will be created if the external key entered is not in the Master Index file, and the operator desires to create one (external passwords are all that are allowed at program startup). If the external key is one that exists in the Master Index file, but is not valid for the given file, three tries are given to get it right. A chance is given to change the internal password, after validation. Of course, the old internal password must be known in order to change the internal password, and this feature gives this system an advantage over conventional password processing; in order to change the true password, the internal password must be known. Everyone else can know the external password key, but in order to change the password that is stored, you must have more information. One level of passwords is insufficient in a system that is publicly accessed because once someone knows the entry password, they can change this password if desired (such as the UNIX system). The procedure that inputs the password is very versatile, and is used in a different mode when a password is to be changed rather than created. This one feature gives PC-HyperText Architect an edge over most other products in its category. The Supervisory mode (/S option) requires a password that is stored in the Master Index file. Actual internal passwords cannot be viewed unless the operator is in Supervisory mode. A blank password for a file cannot be changed unless the operator is in Supervisory mode. The basic idea behind the Supervisory password is that each Master Index file generated should contain a Supervisory password entered by the System Administrator, or the one responsible for that file. The Supervisory password is different because the file name that the password protects is an internal key (pass key), and can be specified to be unique for different versions of the data this product generates (see the /K options). This method will guarantee file security if the /K option is specified when the Master Index file is created. The unique pass key option (/K) provides a method of restricting the access to any file's password records by allowing entry into the system with only the pass key that was used when the Master Index file was created. The internal passwords that are generated will be unique for different file names, because the file name (or pass key for Supervisory passwords) is combined with the password when the internal password is generated. The encryption algorithm is one that minimizes flukes of translation that generate duplicate internal passwords. Passwords should be some sequence of characters that are unique and contain few duplicate characters. The same internal password typed from the keyboard should generate a different internal password that is stored for file names that are not the same, the operator may use their own descretion about this choice (all passwords are deencrypted when viewed in Supervisory mode). When a new password is entered from the main menu option 7, the file name the password protects has to be a file that has a record in the Master Index file, or the pass key entered when the Master Index file was created. This prevents any extraneous Supervisory passwords from being entered into any Master Index file; they all must use the pass key entered when the file was created. File names and keys: A file name is a upper or lower case string including path and disk drive specifier, and they may be up to 32 characters long. These are kept internally in the Master Index file, but the name is always accessed by the file name key. The file name key is internally generated by this program and consists of the body of the file name and the extension concatenated together. Remember that any item name is case sensitive, so the case of file names is critical when they are being entered. An example of a file name and the file key is: C:\PCSCEVAL\TEST.SCR would have the following key: TESTSCR blank filled. This will be the key that this file name is to be accessed with when the program runs. Any file access uses this key to find the actual name and associated information for this physical data file. If the file key generated is not in the user specified Master Index file, but one that is in the control Master Index file (e.g. PCSCR$$$.MDX), then the internal pass key for the control Master Index file is requested before the operator can continue. This prevents unauthorized use of the system files. The internal pass key in the control Master Index file is checked when it is opened to guarantee that the Song / Screen Generator program is running with its own file. In future releases, the option to include a subset of the path in the file key will be offered. This section describes the operation of the built-in full screen editor in the Song / Screen Generator program: The keys on the keyboard that are active are: Ins - Inserts a space at the cursor position Del - Deletes the character under the cursor PgUp - Scrolls the information above the window down into the window (moves the window up) PgDn - Scrolls the information below the window up into the window (moves the window down) Home - Moves the cursor to the beginning of the line End - Moves the cursor to the end of the line Right arrow - Moves the cursor one position to the right with wrap around to the left side of the screen. Left arrow - Moves the cursor one position to the left with wrap around to the right side of the screen. Up arrow - Moves the cursor up one position with wrap around to the bottom of the screen. Down arrow - Moves the cursor down one position with wrap around to the top of the screen. Ctrl PgUp - Deletes the line at the current cursor position. Ctrl PgDn - Inserts a blank line at the current cursor position. Ctrl Right Arrow - Moves the cursor over to the next word to the right. Ctrl Left Arrow - Moves the cursor over to the next word to the left. Enter - Moves everything from the current cursor position to the right down to the next line, and puts a carriage return where the cursor was. Esc - Exits the editor. A prompt asks whether your work is to be saved. This editor is different from others in that the carriage return, or end of line character shows up in the source file as a little note character that you would see on a musical scale. This allows lines with trailing blanks, and allows explicit placement of the end of line. The limitations of this editor are: 1) No way to merge two lines. 2) No way to cut and paste. 3) Mouse moves the cursor only. 4) No search and replace. This is not a complete list, but improvement will come with later versions. Batch Text Processor Commands: .SC fgd_color bgd_color Set the color where 'fgd_color' is the foreground color, and 'bgd_color' is the background color. These values may be a number between 0 and 15 or the words: BLACK, BLUE, GREEN, CYAN, RED, MAGEN, BROWN, WHITE, GREY, HIBLU, HIGRN, HICYA, HIRED, HIMAG, YELLO, HIWHT. .DW xul yul xlr ylr Set the current window to the values specified, upper left and lower right corner values. The mnemonics XRES and YRES may be specified also. The mnemonics: XVAL and YVAL denote current cursor position when the command is encountered. .SW xul yul xlr ylr Set the current window to the values specified, upper left and lower right corner values. After the window is set, it is erased, and the coordinates for this window are put into the window stack. The mnemonics XRES and YRES may be specified also. The mnemonics: XVAL and YVAL denote current cursor position when the command is encountered. .EA xul yul xlr ylr Set the current window to the values specified: upper left and lower right corner values. After the window is set, the area below the window is saved offscreen. Then the window is erased using the currently set values for the foreground and background colors, and the coordinates for this window and the address of where the window contents were saved are put into the window stack. The mnemonics XRES and YRES may be specified also. The mnemonics: XVAL and YVAL denote current cursor position when the command is encountered. .SA xul yul xlr ylr Set the current window to the values specified: upper left and lower right corner values. After the window is set, the area below the window is saved offscreen. The current values of the foreground and background colors, and the coordinates for this window and the address of where the window contents were saved are put into the window stack. The mnemonics XRES and YRES may be specified also. The mnemonics: XVAL and YVAL denote current cursor position when the command is encountered. .RA Restore area. The command restores the previously saved window that was saved with the '.SA' command. .DS screen_name Display another screen or window. This is executed similar to a subroutine. The screen that is specified is displayed and if it is a HyperText window, the TAB, BACKTAB, ENTER and ESC keys are active as well as the cursor keys in browsing the HyperText. If the screen was not defined as a Help screen, a keystroke is prompted for before continuing at the next statement in the source file. .PC x y Position the cursor to the specified x, y location. The mnemonics XRES and YRES may be specified. .BX lines Draw a box within the currently set window with one or two line thickness (lines = 1, 2).

The string is considered to be all characters up to the carriage return line feed combination (including blanks). .FI Sets the mode for placing text to: Fill Mode. Words that would be split at the end of the window are placed starting at the beginning of the next line in the window. .NF Sets the mode for placing text to: No Fill Mode. The text is written into the window without checking if words will be split and wrapped around to the next line. .SE Screen end command. Signals the end of the input file. .PS song_name repeat_cycles Play song. The song by the name: 'song_name' in the current master index file is read and played. The field: 'repeat_cycles' designates the number of times to repeat the song. .PL repeat_cycles num_notes f1 d1 f2 d2 ... fn dn Play tune. Play the tune defined by the frequency, duration pairs on the input line ('fx', 'dx'). The field: 'repeat_cycles' specifies the number of times to repeat this tune. The frequencies of notes is specified in 1 HZ increments (e.g. 1 cycle per second). The duration of notes is specified in 10 MS increments (e.g. 100=1 second).

The valid values for 'tempo' are: ADAGI - Adagio or slow (Quarter note = 60 cpm) MODER - Moderato or medium (Quarter note = 90 cpm) ALLEG - Allegro or fast (Quarter note = 120 cpm) PREST - Presto or very fast (Quarter note = 240 cpm) The default is presto. ('cpm' is the approximate number of cycles per minute). .TU f1 d1 f2 d2 ... fn dn Build a tune to be stored on the disk. The f1 ... fn (frequencies) can be the words specified above. The d1 ... dn (duration) can be one of the appropriate words above. This command can only be used when the types 13 or 15 (Song commands type) is specified when building a record in the Song / Screen Generator (option 1). The only other command allowed to define a song that is saved in a Screen File is .TE described above. .SD Stop the date/time display. .ST Stop tunes. The song or tune that is playing is stopped. .WS Wait for a song or tune to stop playing before continuing. .HB hyper_text_window_name width Define a hyper text button. The area beginning where the cursor is positioned, through the character positions to the right are made an active hyper text button. The width of the active area is specified on the command line. When this button is pressed, the window specified by 'hyper_text_window_name' is drawn on the screen. .HW hyper_text_window_name Define a hyper text window. The area defined by the current window is made an active hyper text button. When this button is pressed, the window specified by 'hyper_text_window_name' is drawn on the screen. .PA Pause the display of the screen and wait for a keystroke. .BE Sound the speaker with the sound of disapproval (BEEP). This sound is defined to be a low toned grump. .BL Sound the speaker with the sound of approval (BLEEP). .BB Sound the speaker with the sound of attention (BEEP BEEP BEEP). .SL cycles Sleep or wait for the designated number of cycles.
