- What is ReadyRef?
-
- All too frequently, if you are like me, you will be sitting at
- your computer and want a quick piece of information. You have to
- break your train of thought, find the book or document containing
- the information you require, look it up, and then go back to the
- computer and pick up where you left off. Even if the information
- is on your hard disk and you have a suitable file browser in-
- stalled, it can be a nuisance getting to, and reading, the spe-
- cific file you want.
-
- And most of the time (again, if you are like me) the information
- you need amounts to only a few lines of text which could readily
- be associated with a key word or phrase.
-
- ReadyRef overcomes this problem!
-
- ReadyRef is an on-line reference aid. It is unlike other on-line
- reference aids, however. ReadyRef gives you complete freedom to
- include whatever reference topics you wish. Any ASCII text file
- can be used as a reference topic.
-
- * You can build or modify your own reference topics, by
- either creating your own files or adapting existing files.
-
- * You can decide for yourself the wording and form your
- reference topic presentations will take.
-
- * If you have documents contained in disk files, these files
- easily can be adapted to ReadyRef, often with less than
- one hour's work.
-
- * If you don't like what you have after using it for a
- while, you can change it in any way you wish, or even
- remove it from ReadyRef.
-
- In short, you are not bound by someone else's decision as to what
- you want or need. As you create reference topics and register
- them with ReadyRef, it will become the reference aid specifically
- designed for you and your work style.
-
- But even before customizing ReadyRef by creating your own
- reference topics, you can use it effectively with the topics
- which are preregistered. ReadyRef has the capability for as many
- as 14 reference topics at any one time. Three of these are fixed;
- the remaining eleven are for you to define and use as you will.
-
- The fixed ReadyRef reference topics are:
-
- * A complete ASCII code table.
-
- * A calendar displaying any desired three month period.
-
- * A five function date calculator, permitting calculation
- of:
-
- - The number of days between any two given dates.
-
- - The date corresponding to any number of days before
- or after a given date.
-
- - The day of the week on which any date, past or
- future, falls.
-
- - The number of weekdays between any two given dates.
-
- - The date corresponding to any number of weekdays
- before or after a given date.
-
- ReadyRef comes to you with four user defined topics prereg-
- istered. The preregistered topics are:
-
- * A summary of DOS commands, providing reference on the
- syntax and function of each described command.
-
- * A summary of current U.S. domestic postal rates, with
- definitions provided for each mail class.
-
- * A listing of telephone area codes, by state and major
- locality.
-
- * A personal telephone directory. As provided, the
- associated text file is intended as a skeleton (although
- it contains a few useful telephone numbers). The intent is
- that, after looking at the way it is laid out, you will be
- able to fill it in using any convenient editor or word
- processor.
-
- ReadyRef gives the user the ability to select new sets of general
- reference topics "on the fly." Thus ReadyRef can provide access
- to a virtually unlimited number of reference topics at any time
- with only a few keystrokes.
-
- ReadyRef can be loaded so that it can be invoked when another
- application is running (i.e., as a "TSR" (Terminate and Stay
- Resident program)) or it can be run in nonresident mode from the
- DOS prompt.
