- Thank you for your interest in documentation. It is a common problem with
- programs to have too little documentation. One of the most necessary pieces of
- documentation for the programmer is a listing of variables used in their
- programs. It is of major importance after a month or two when you've forgotten
- all you ever knew about that program.
-
- This program absolutely does not replace the needed REM statements in your
- programs. It will, however, provide another valuable instrument for you to
- utilize.
-
- REQUIREMENTS:
-
- This program requires that you be running an IBM or compatible PC. You must
- also be running either PC/DOS or MSDOS.
-
- The program SORT.EXE, supplied with your DOS package must reside either on the
- disk your program is on or be in the PATH. (Check your dos manual for
- information on the PATH command, if necessary)
-
- Your BASIC program must be stored in ASCII format. If you are not sure, try the
- following test:
- In DOS type the following:
- TYPE PGMNAME.BAS (substitute your programs name instead of PGMNAME)
- If the output is readable to you, your program is stored in ASCII format. If
- not, do the following:
- Enter Basic by entering the command: BASICA and hitting enter.
- Load your program by typing the command: LOAD "PGMNAME.BAS"
- Save your program in ASCII format, type: SAVE "PGMNAME.BAS",A
-
- Now that your program is in the proper format, all you need to do is to type
- the command DOCASST.
-
- The program will prompt you for the name of your BASIC program. Enter only the
- first level name. As an example, let's say you have a program named ORDENT.BAS.
- You would enter the name ORDENT at the prompt.
-
- That's all there is to it. The program does everything else.
-
- If you improve on this program I salute you. It is only to everyone's good
- fortune to have good documentation. All I ask is that you upload the changes
- to me so I'll also have a better program. Please upload to TEL-KC at (913)
- 829-5417. Thanks!
