- - ListMaker V4.0 -
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- © 1988 By Laura M. Young
- Requirements: At least 512K
-
- Well I couldn't find a good short & simple program to keep a list of all
- my Videotapes in order, so I wrote one! This program can also be used for
- any type of list, since it will let you rename the title of the MOVIES
- column and the TAPE# column. (pronounced "fleks' a bil a tee"!)
- It is also much easier than loading up a complicated database program..
- It will handle up to 1000 items in the list, and will also alphabetize
- the list for you.
- If your printer supports REVERSE LINEFEEDS (and if you are using the
- right printer driver that also supports them - like the Star NX-10 driver
- which I included with this program), you will be able to print 2 or 3
- columns on a page!
-
-
- Here is a simple summary of the commands:
-
- Create:
- -------
- This will let you create a new file... If the file already exists on the
- disk, it will inform you of that fact and ask whether you want to <A>dd
- to the existing file or <R>eplace the existing file.
-
- Add:
- ---
- This will let you add more items to an existing file. After adding items
- however, the list will be out of order, so you should then select
- ALPHABETIZE to put the list back in order. (In future versions I may have
- this done automatically after ADDing)
-
- Alphabetize:
- -----------
- This puts the items in a list in alphabetical order.
-
- View file:
- ---------
- Lets you view a list from disk. You can abort reading the file by pressing
- any key.
-
- Print:
- -----
- OK this part is important! If you are NOT using a printer (and driver)
- which support REVERSE LINEFEEDS, you MUST use the top menu to select
- printer type OTHER. This will print your list 1 column per page.
- If your printer does support this feature, then it will print 1 column
- then backup to the top of the page and print the 2nd column, and do the same
- thing for the 3rd column (if there are that many items in your list).
-
- There is a menu at the top that lets you select either 3 columns per page
- (150 items a page -condensed mode) -this is the default, or 2 columns
- per page (100 items a page -normal print).
-
- Directory:
- ---------
- Gives you the current disk directory.
-
- Select Current Directory:
- ------------------------
- Lets you specify the drive or pathname of the directory you want to be
- your CURRENT directory (CD).
- If you specify pathnames, you don't have to type the entire path in at
- the Filename> prompts, only the filename itself.
-
- Scratch a file:
- --------------
- Kind of self-explanatory?
- One note: Wildcards (#?) cannot be used. If you are unsure of a filename
- just check the directory.
-
-
- Well that's about all I guess, Listmaker is pretty simple to use. If you
- have questions and would like to get in touch with me I can be reached on
- GEnie as LYoung1, CI$ (74606,3504), or my BBS - The Equinox BBS in Easton,
- Pennsylvania - 215-250-9467 (300/1200...24 hrs...C64,Amiga,C128).
- This program is shareware, and can be freely distributed as long as this
- DOC file remains with it, and also the great NX-10 printer driver. It
- can be put on Public Domain disks with my consent. If you like this
- program and use it often, and would like to be informed of any future
- updates and improvements, send a contribution of $10 to me at:
