-
- In the light of problems with the menus which can't load more than one
- personal dictionary and NB4's failure to deliver the goods on this
- point, last night I adapted something I wrote for NB3. It seems to
- work ok, and apologies to Tony Woozley who sent me a routine which I
- have not used (it came after I did it a different and less elegant
- way): that is, capturing the name of a file without the extension (if
- there is one). It also loads a phrase library if there is one. If
- there isn't you get an error message.
-
- This routine also sets up an automatic save to a: and c:..... As I
- said to someone else last night, I wear a belt and braces and would
- also use a skewer through the navel if I could..... It seems to
- coexist happily with NB4's autosave.
-
- Once again apologies to Tony whose backup utility I have not used as
- it does not force the backup onto a special floppy (ie one that groups
- all files from the same directory onto the same floppy). I could not
- see how to modify his elegant little gem to do that. This problem
- arises because of how I personally use subdirectories. I find it makes
- it easier to take the correct floppy home, for example, to have
- separate floppies for separate subdirectories.
-
- I put the two features together because I work on the basis that a
- file significant enough to deserve its own dictionary and possibly
- phrase library is also likely to be worth having a backup copy of.
-
- It's a simple enough pgm to tinker with if you don't want the save
- feature. If you feel insecure with xpl, tell me and I'll send it to
- you modified accordingly.
-
- And finally - season's greetings, and a peaceful and happy New Year.
