ORGANIZE! Your Collection
Copy Line Utility ----
This documenation and accompanying software are copyright
1995 by H.C.P. Services, Inc. Distribution of this software
is covered by the terms of the distribution license in the
VENDOR.DOC file accompanying this software. If there is no
VENDOR.DOC file, then you may not give this utility to others
without permission from HomeCraft software.
This utility is used to convert information in an OYC catalog
to move information from one line in a catalog, and add it to
another line in the same catalog.
DISCLAIMER: This utility was developed for internal use by
HomeCraft in creating catalogs of pre-entered information.
There is no warranty and we do not provide technical support
for this utility. It is provided only because some people
may find it helpful.
This utility may be used with OYC catalog files created by any
of the following software:
ORGANIZE! Your Collection (DOS Version)
ORGANIZE! Your Collection (Windows Version)
ORGANIZE! Your Collection (Windows Multimedia Version)
ORGANIZE! Your... (all shareware versions)
ORGANIZE! Your... (all lite versions)
The COPYLINE.EXE file must be copied to the same drive and directory
where the OYC.EXE file is located. It will not work if placed in
any other directory.
To use this utility go to the DOS prompt for the directory
containing the OYC.EXE file, type COPYLINE, and push ENTER. This
utility may be run in Windows by using the "RUN" option on the
files menu.
When the utility starts you will be prompted to enter the name of
the catalog you want the utility to work on. If the catalog is
on another drive or in another directory, you can also enter the
drive and path. (Do not enter a filename extension, only enter
the name of the catalog).
The next screen shows a list of the lines (fields) in the
specified catalog, with a letter next to each line. Push a
capital letter to select the line you want to move the
information from. Push a lower case letter to select the line
you want to move the information to (the destination line).
Then push F6 to start the conversion.
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF YOUR CATALOG BEFORE
USING THIS, OR ANY OTHER, UTILITY TO MODIFY THE CATALOG.
This utility is most commonly used to modify a catalog so it
can be used with the Windows multimedia version of OYC. In
the multimedia version line 21 is used to store the multimedia
information (such as the name of the sound file) and thus it
can not be used for catalog information. If line 21 is being
used in an existing catalog, this utility can be used to move
the information on line 21 to another line (the destination
line).
The information being moved will be added to the right of any
information already on the destination line. A slash will be
placed after the existing information on the destination line
and the moved information will be added after the slash.
If there is not sufficient room on the destination line to fit
all of the information being moved, the extra characters will
be dropped. (Before using this utility you can use the "Set
Up Catalog" option on the Utilities Menu in the DOS version of
OYC--or the Catalog Maintainance feature in the Windows version--
to lengthen the destination line.).
