- HELPER Version 1.10 by Greg Merideth
-
-
- HELPER is a program to help you keep either a large or small type of
- dictionary. In this version unfourtunatly you must type in the
- definition as such. But in later version's, it might hopefully prompt
- you for a 40-50 line entry and such as such.
-
- HELPER in the begining uses the command line to pass the search term into
- the program as such:
-
- [d:][path] HELPER [definition] [definition file]
-
- The definition can be up to 40 characters for now.
-
- The definition file is the text file that all definition's are put into
- and HELPER is meant to analyze for it.
-
- As mentiond before YOU must create this file in the following format:
-
- 1) Use any editor [NE, WORDSTAR, SEE] (ect..)
- 2) Create a file and put in your definitions.
- ALL definiton titles must be as such:
-
- #(definition)
-
- (i.e)
-
- #DOS
- bla bla bla.
-
- #NORTON
- bla bla bla.
-
- 4) When the definition is found HELPER will display the title and will
- stop at the next blank line.
-
- You might notice that in the HELP.DEF file, the lines in the definition have
- a "-" in the begining. These arn't nessisary, but help in spacing out the
- text. HELPER at the moment is'nt that smart.
-
- When you start if you wanted to see the "dos" information that you supplied
- about dos then you would type.
-
- HELPER dos(upper or lower case) [CR]
-
- HELPER would then busily go away at that file. When it's found (the #DOS) then
- you'll see your definition! Heating up isn't it?
-
- HELP.DEF is the default file that ALL definitions are put into. You do not
- need to type that name. But this is so you can have a few SMALL files and
- not one HUGE file. Even though this was written in 'C'. It still is kinda
- slow.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- NOTE:
-
- HELPER -a
-
- will list all of the definition name's in the .DEF file.
-
- NOTE2:
-
- It's helpfull to have all of your files end with a .DEF. Not for my sake.
- But it's easier to just "DIR/w *.DEF" to see what you have.
-
- If you do find this in any way helpfull then comments, questions,
- donations, please send to:
