Qfonedit: What It Does Qfonedit is designed to be your all-purpose Qmodem directory maintenance utility. You may not need Qfonedit. If your entire dialing directory fits on one display page, you can probably maintain it more easily within Qmodem--but if that isn't the case, you should take Qfonedit now! The first few uses will show you that you needed it. Qfonedit operates on your fon file (the term used here for your Qmodem directory file, which may be named QMODEM.FON or anything else) to allow you to view all entries, sort them in several fashions, rearrange, insert or delete them quickly in arbitrary ways, reset the default parameters en masse, insert blank lines, print the directory to disk, delete your passwords, search for names, or edit the entries a full page at a time. Qfonedit allows you to configure several of its features, including varying or eliminating its sound effects and choosing whether to work from a menu. At your option, Qfonedit will read communication parameters and screen colors from Qmodem, or allow you to set them directly. The enhanced version of Qfonedit (available to registered users at no additional charge) is able to save configuration information in a file for restoration of your configuration choices whenever it runs. It also features on-line help for most functions. Qfonedit can find your fon file down any path which you have provided in configuring it, and will prompt for a new path if its search fails. Floppy disk users will be pleased to realize that they do not have to keep the Qmodem files and the Qfonedit files all on one disk. Qfonedit requires an IBM PC or close compatible, with DOS 2.0 or later, and at least 170k of available RAM. 2. Starting Qfonedit Place the files QFONEDIT.COM, QFONEDIT.000 and QFONEDIT.001 (and QFONEDIT.HLP and QFONEDIT.CNF, if you are using the enhanced version) all in the same subdirectory. Make that disk the logged disk and that subdirectory the current directory. From the DOS prompt, simply command QFONEDIT. Example: C>QFONEDIT Qfonedit: The Qmodem Phone Directory Editor Page 2 You may also start QFONEDIT and give it the name of your fon file, including drive and path if not the logged drive and current directory. (If you do this, you must provide the file name, even if it is QMODEM.FON.) Example: C>QFONEDIT A:\QDIR\SPECIAL.FON In order to function, Qfonedit must be able to find the fon file and the overlay files QFONEDIT.000 and QFONEDIT.001. If unable to do so, Qfonedit will halt with an error message. If the enhanced version of Qfonedit is able to find the file QFONEDIT.CNF, it will check to see if a special path to the phone directory has been configured. If so, and a file name was not entered as shown in the example above, Qfonedit will look at the end of that path for the file QMODEM.FON. If unable to find QMODEM.FON there, Qfonedit will look in the current directory on the logged drive. If unable to find QMODEM.FON, Qfonedit will halt with an error message. If enhanced Qfonedit does find the file QFONEDIT.CNF, it will use the values in that file to set screen colors, sound effects, default communication parameters, etc. If unable to find the configuration file, enhanced Qfonedit will attempt to create a new one with its standard default values. If unable to create the new configuration file, enhanced Qfonedit will give you a chance to attempt the save again or to continue without it. As Qfonedit goes thru its start-up procedure, it will display its progress in a status window. It will pause briefly to "allow" you to read the license information. Pressing any key will cut the pause short. Starting Qfonedit with /f on the command line will eliminate the pause: C>QFONEDIT /F After the pause, Qfonedit will display the Main Menu and the Editor screen and await further command. 3. Qfonedit Keys Thruout this manual, Ctrl will be used to indicate the "control key", likely marked Ctrl on your keyboard. A term such as "CtrlX" will mean "holding down the control key while pressing the X key". Likewise, Alt will mean the "alternate shift key", probably marked Alt on your keyboard, and "AltX" will mean "holding down the alternate shift key while pressing the X key". FX will mean the function key numbered X; eg, F1 is the function key number 1. Qfonedit: The Qmodem Phone Directory Editor Page 3 Qfonedit makes consistent use of keys everywhere except in the Editor and the configuration routines. The Editor's use of keys is described in the section on the Editor. The use of keys in the configuration routines follows the lead of the Qmodem program QINSTALL.COM. Qfonedit command keys are "hot": when you press them, an action occurs without the need to press Enter. If you press a key that has no meaning to Qfonedit in its then- current context, the computer will beep; otherwise, you will hear a click. You may think of the beep as an error signal, and the click as a success signal. (Beeps and clicks can be changed or turned off in the configuration routines.) Qfonedit is never sensitive to letter case. Pressing "C" will have the same result as pressing "c". Qfonedit is not case sensitive. Pressing "C" will has the same effect as pressing "c". Pressing Esc (the Escape key) may return you to the previous menu, or from the Main Menu to the Editor. Esc is active in most instances when Qfonedit is awaiting input. The PgDn and PgUp keys will display the other pages just as they do in Qmodem. Pressing O (AltO in the Editor), when both a menu and a page of the fon file are displayed, will toggle contents of the fon file display, just as it does in Qmodem. In the same situations, pressing U (AltU in the Editor) will "undo" previous actions. When editing, whether in the Editor or when providing input such as file names, paths, etc., Qfonedit recognizes many of the Ctrl key combinations used in WordStar and in the Turbo Pascal editor. The use of such key combinations is summarized in an appendix. In the enhanced, registered version of Qfonedit, on-line help is generally accessible by pressing the F1 key. 4. Qfonedit Prompts When Qfonedit prompts for a yes or no response, press the Y or N key, or the Enter key. Usually a default response will be displayed at the cursor--the default is accepted with the Enter key. (At many prompts, pressing Esc will exit from the prompt and return to a previous menu.) A common use of the yes/no prompt is the "Go? Y" prompt, which precedes execution of commands which will alter the fon file. Pressing Y or Enter will cause the command to execute; pressing N will prevent it. Qfonedit: The Qmodem Phone Directory Editor Page 4 The Go prompt may be turned off in configuration. If Go is turned off, all Qmodem commands which would prompt "Go Y?" will execute without it. When Qfonedit prompts for a line or page number, no default value is available for the initial prompt. If there is a second prompt, as for a second line number, the response to the first prompt is used as a default value. (Again, pressing Esc will usually exit from the prompt and return to a previous menu.) When Qfonedit prompts for a string input, such as a file name or a search string, a default value may be displayed. If so, that value may be accepted by pressing Enter, or the value may be edited or replaced entirely. The editing process is similar to that of the Qmodem file allocation windows, except that a larger set of editing keys--such as the cursor keys--is available than in Qmodem. 5. Stopping Qfonedit From the Main Menu, pressing Q will stop Qfonedit and return to DOS. You will be prompted to insure that you do wish to exit Qfonedit. (This prompt may be turned off in configuration.) If you made changes to the fon file, you will be prompted to save it. If you save the fon file, you will be prompted to save the old file with the extension .BAQ. If you choose to save the old file, and a .BAQ file already exists, you will be prompted whether to save it with the extension .OLD. During configuration, you may specify which save prompts you wish to be given and which actions you wish to take without prompting. 6. The Main Menu The Main Menu shows a list of Qfonedit commands and the key which must be pressed to activate each command. Upon pressing a valid command key, the indicated routine will run. Upon completing the routine, control will return to the Main Menu, unless Qfonedit has been configured to operate from the Editor. Operating from the Editor allows the experienced user to bypass the Main Menu, both when calling and when returning from a routine. All commands which may be given from the Main Menu may be given from the Editor by holding down the Alt key while pressing the key which would be used in the Main Menu. For example, when in the Main Menu, pressing S calls the Sort Qfonedit: The Qmodem Phone Directory Editor Page 5 routine. When in the Editor, pressing AltS calls the Sort routine. At the end of the routine, control transfers to the Main Menu, unless the choice is made in configuration to return to the Editor instead. The routines available from the Main Menu are all discussed in one later section, except for the Editor, which is discussed in the next section. 7. The Editor When in the Editor, the lower portion of the screen will contain either a brief reminder of keys used in editing, or a list of the Alt keys used to invoke other routines. (See "The Main Menu" for a discussion of Alt keys in the Editor.) Which display is shown depends on whether Qfonedit is configured to return to the Editor or to the Main Menu. PgUp and PgDn will change the displayed page. The cursor row and column will be preserved from page to page, and while executing other routines. (The exception is the Locate routine, which may change page, row, and column.) AltO will toggle the display of alternate information in the right-hand columns. AltU will attempt Undo. F1 or Esc will pop up the Main Menu. The cursor may be moved all over the displayed page with the normal IBM-type cursor keys, the Enter key, tab, shift-tab, Home and End. In some of the displayed fields, editing can use the Del, Ins, CtrlEnd (erase to the end of the field) and backspace keys. The normal cursor mode for editing is "overwrite"--the character you type will replace that previously at the same location. In some fields, Ins will toggle between overwrite and insert modes. When in insert mode, the cursor will be thicker, to remind you of the mode. The mode will return to overwrite when the cursor passes the end of the field, or a cursor control key or PgUp or PgDn changes the cursor location. The Editor will refuse to accept key input which it recognizes as meaningless to Qmodem or to DOS. For example, you cannot use the Editor to specify communication parameters of 8-E-3. You can do something such as make total connects be "12 34", but after you save the fon file, you will find that the total connects are "1234", without the internal space. (Not all errors are caught in the Editor. Some are trapped in fon file file processing when the file is saved.) Qfonedit: The Qmodem Phone Directory Editor Page 6 8. Marking Blocks in the Editor While in the Editor, blocks of lines may be "marked". Other Qfonedit routines can operate on marked blocks without having to be given page or line numbers to describe them. (Eg.: In the Clear routine, choosing to clear by Lines leads to two prompts for line numbers. If those lines were the top and bottom of a marked block, the choice to clear Marked would eliminate the need for those prompts.) The next section covers the way in which each routine uses marked blocks. To mark a block, use PgUp, PgDn and the cursor control keys to put the cursor on the first line of the block. Press F3. Move the cursor to the last line of the block. Press F4. To mark the cursor line, press F6. A marked line appears in a color which should contrast with unmarked lines. (The color of marked lines may be chosen in configuration.) Only one block may be marked at a time. The cursor line, however, may be marked separately, whether it is contained within a marked block or not. The cursor line is marked by changing the color of only the line number. If the cursor is within a marked block, the line number takes on the normal, unmarked color, to set it off from the marked lines around it. To turn off the marking, so that all lines are displayed in the unmarked color, press F5. If lines have been marked, but the marking has been turned off, it may be turned on by again pressing F5 . When marking is turned off, the other Qfonedit routines will not be able to use the marked block feature. 9. Other Routines The Main Menu resembles: = C - Clear P - Print D - Defaults Q - Quit E - Edit R - Register F - conFig S - Sort I - Insert T - Tidyup L - Locate U - Undo M - Move W - passWord N - New .fon X - eXchange O - Other info Choice = Qfonedit: The Qmodem Phone Directory Editor Page 7 (Thruout this manual, the = character denotes the top or bottom of a picture of the screen.) "Clear" sets a block to "empty line" values: default values for Speed, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits, Protocol and Echo, spaces everywhere else. Clear operates from one line thru another, or from one page thru another, or from the start thru the end of a marked block. "Defaults" sets certain fields in a block to default values: Speed, Data Bits, Parity, Stop Bits, Protocol and Echo. You may choose whether to act on all lines in the block, or only "empty lines" (those having all blanks in Name and Number fields). You may also choose to act only on the Speed field, and leave the others alone. Defaults operates on the entire fon file, or from one line thru another, or from one page thru another, or from the start thru the end of a marked block. "conFigure" allows you to specify many of Qfonedit's operating features. It is discussed more fully in the next section. "Insert" blanks lines in front of a target line (the cursor line, if it is marked). What is actually done is that empty lines from further into the fon file (lines with higher numbers) are moved to the target position, and other lines are moved "up" into their places. If there are not enough empty lines available to accomplish the insert, you will be informed. "Locate" searches the Name field in a block for a match to an input string. The search is insensitive to case (SMITH is the same as Smith). Trailing blanks are discarded, but leading ones are not (" Smith " matches " SMITH" but not "SMITH "). If a match is found, the page on which it occurs is displayed and the line on which it occurs is marked as the cursor line. If a return is made to the Editor without otherwise changing the display, the Editor's cursor will be in the first column on the marked line. Subsequent matches may be attempted on the same block and string with the Next command. Locate searches the entire file, or from one line thru another, or from one page thru another, or from the start thru the end of a marked block. "Move" moves a block from one location to another in front of (with lower line numbers than) a target. If the target is the last line or last page of the fon file, the option is given to make the chosen lines be the last in the file. Move moves from one line thru another to in front of a target line, or from one page thru another to in front of a target page, or from the start thru the end of a marked block to in front of the marked cursor line. Qfonedit: The Qmodem Phone Directory Editor Page 8 "New" loads a different fon file. If changes have been made in the current file, the configured prompts will be given for saving it. This is an easy, if ungraceful, way to save the current fon file, at the expense of reading it back in after the save. "Print" "prints" a block to a disk file. You may choose to print all lines, or only non-empty lines. The current display will determine the contents of the print file: if Number, etc., are displayed, they will be in the print file; otherwise, Password, etc. will be. If the range is defined by Page, then headers will be included ahead of every page in the print file; otherwise, only one header will be provided for the entire file. The print file may be edited with any text editor or word processor which can read a "plain ASCII" or "text" file, or it may be printed from the DOS command line with a command such as: C>COPY QMODEM.PRN PRN (Of course, your printer must be ready to print when you issue that command.) Print operates on the entire fon file as one block, or the entire fon file page by page, or from one line thru another, or from one page thru another, or from the start thru the end of a marked block. "Quit" terminates Qfonedit, making any configured prompts for quitting and file saving. "Register" displays Qfonedit licensing and registration information, and offers to print a form for registering and for ordering the enhanced version. "Sort" sorts a block on the Name field, the Number field or numeric subfields, the Speed field, the Last Connect field, and the Total Calls field, or any combination of those fields, in any mixture of ascending and descending order. The sort is insensitive to case, just as the Locate search is. Search operates on the entire fon file as one block, or the entire fon file page by page, or from one line thru another, or from one page thru another, or from the start thru the end of a marked block. "Tidyup" packs the entries in a block into its low-numbered lines. The rest of the block will be filled out by empty lines. Tidyup operates on the entire fon file as one block, or the entire fon file page by page, or from one line thru another, or from one page thru another, or from the start thru the end of a marked block. "Undo" returns the fon file to the more recent of two states: the state at initial loading of the file, or at entry into the last routine which modified the fon file. (See below.) Only Qfonedit: The Qmodem Phone Directory Editor Page 9 one level of Undo is provided. An attempt to Undo a second level will cause display of an error message. "passWord" clears the password field in a block. (This is handy if you wish to give away a copy of your fon file without compromising your passwords.) Password operates the entire file, or from one line thru another, or from one page thru another, or from the start thru the end of a marked block. "eXchange" trades the location of one block and another. (If the two blocks overlap, only portions of the blocks will actually be moved, and no lines will be lost.) Exchange trades the location of one line and another, or one page and another, or by "range": An example of an exchange by range is "eXchange 5 lines starting at line 11 with those starting at line 21." Exchange also operates on a marked block as a range: from the start thru the end of a marked block are exchanged with the same number of lines starting at the marked cursor line. 10. Configuring Qfonedit Choosing F (for conFig) from the Main Menu brings up the Configuration Menu. The Configuration Menu resembles: = Configuration for Qfonedit(tm) v3.0 1) Screen and menu colors 2) Communication parameters 3) Path definition 4) Prompts 5) Sounds 6) Miscellaneous Options S) Save configuration and return to Qfonedit X) Return to Qfonedit without saving configuration Option > = Indicate your selection by pressing the number or letter shown to the left of the description. Configuration Menu choices are: 1) Screen and menu colors: Select foreground, back- ground and border colors just as they are selected in QINSTALL. As an option, Qfonedit can attempt to read the screen and menu colors from the file QMODEM.CNF. Qfonedit: The Qmodem Phone Directory Editor Page 10 2) Communication parameters: Select default speed, parity, data bits, stop bits, protocol and echo. The selected settings will be used whenever you command Clear or Defaults from the Main Menu. Here, also, Qfonedit can attempt to read the parameters from the file QMODEM.CNF. 3) Path definition: Specify a drive and path down which Qfonedit should look for the fon file. (If you enter a path and filename on the DOS command line, that will be checked first.) (Path definition is useful only with enhanced Qfonedit. 4) Prompts: Specify which prompts will be given when leaving Qfonedit and saving the fon file, and/or which actions will be taken without prompting. 5) Sounds: Specify whether Beeps and Clicks (key- clicks) are turned on or off. Select the length and pitch of the Beeps and Clicks and hear a sample of the selection. (When pressing F2 or F4 to hear the sample, you may first hear a Click--if Clicks are turned on. After a brief pause, the selected Beep or Click will be demonstrated.) 6) Miscellaneous Options: Specify whether routines return to the Main Menu or to the Editor. Specify whether Qfonedit should check and wait for a video retrace signal (preventing visual "snow" on IBM color graphics adapters and clones) or do screen display without awaiting the retrace (vastly speeding up display). S) Save configuration and return to Qfonedit: The enhanced version of Qfonedit can save configuration information in the file QFONEDIT.CNF and restore that configuration whenever Qfonedit is run. X) Return to Qfonedit without saving configuration Note that changes in configuration are effective immediately. The new configuration will not be saved on disk unless you have the enhanced version and choose S). Changes in communication parameters will not be apparent in your phone directory unless you choose Defaults and/or Clear from the Main Menu. 11. Registration and Support of Qfonedit You are probably familiar with the arguments in favor of user- supported software: It allows you to try before you buy, encourage creative programming, avoid paying the costs Qfonedit: The Qmodem Phone Directory Editor Page 11 associated with commercial marketing, even use a program legally without ever compensating the author. (You wouldn't do that, would you?) If you have not paid for Qmodem, please do that now. After you have paid for Qmodem, if you find Qfonedit to be useful or interesting enough, please pay $10.00 for it. You will earn my appreciation, as well as having the feeling that you have furthered the development of affordable software. (Please note: If you paid anybody but me anything for this program, I did not get any of the money.) When paying, please choose Register from the Main Menu or Editor, and let Qfonedit print out a registration form for you. The form will provide enough information for me to let you know about future major releases, and satisfy my lawyer that I'm not giving away the store just because I distribute on bulletin boards, etc. As this manual has mentioned several times, an enhanced version of Qfonedit is available to registered users. Your copy of the enhanced version may be had with no additional charge if you will send me a 5.25" diskette. If you wish, you may send additional money rather than a diskette. If you provide the diskette, please format it, use a reusable mailer, and include an addressed label and return postage. If you prefer for me to provide the diskette, mailer, etc., please send $5. Whether you pay or not, please pass this package along to anyone else who has a use or desire for it. Payments and hard-copy messages may be sent to: Karl Brendel 718 East B Avenue Hutchinson, KS 67501 Questions, bug reports, anything suitable for modem communication, are most likely to reach me at these bulletin boards: Forbin Project PCBoard 319 233 6157 Fargo RBBS 701 293 5973 Atlantic Palisades Magpie 718 238 7855 Tamiami BBS (PCBoard) 813 793 2392 Sleepy Hollow PCBoard 213 859 9334 Software Society PCBoard 201 729 7410 You may also contact me on CompuServe (ID 73307,3101). I try to call the listed bulletin boards on a weekly basis, and CompuServe twice a week. Additionally, I support Qfonedit by voice phone when that is really needed.

The Turbo Pascal editor key combinations, in turn, are based on the WordStar word processor. I have included several Turbo key combinations in Qfonedit, altho they do not show up on the menus. The IBM-style keys and their equivalent Turbo key combinations are: CursorUp........CtrlE CursorDown......CtrlX CursorRight.....CtrlD CursorLeft......CtrlS PgUp............CtrlR PgDn............CtrlC Home............CtrlT End.............CtrlB Ins.............CtrlV Del.............CtrlG CtrlEnd.........CtrlY Tab.............CtrlI or CtrlF Shift Tab.......CtrlA F3..............CtrlK-CtrlB F4..............CtrlK-CtrlK F5..............CtrlK-CtrlH Note that not all of the key combinations are "standard" Turbo keys. Some of these operate by field rather than by word or by line, so CtrlF moves to the start of the next field and CtrlA moves to the start of the current or previous field. Most two-key combinations are not supported, so CtrlY functions like Turbo's CtrlQ-CtrlY combination, CtrlT like CtrlQ-CtrlR, etc. Qfonedit: The Qmodem Phone Directory Editor Page 14 Appendix B: Block Specifications The means to specify blocks of lines for the various operations are: Global Line/Lines Range Global by Page Page/Pages Marked Clear X from/thru from/thru X Defaults X X Locate X from/thru from/thru X Move from/thru from/thru X Print X X from/thru from/thru X Sort X X from/thru from/thru X Tidyup X X from/thru from/thru X passWord X X X eXchange line&line page&page X X "from/thru" indicates that the prompts will be for "From Line:" (or "Page") and "Thru Line:" (or "Page"). "line&line" indicates that the prompts will be "Line:" and "and Line:". "page&page" indicates similar prompts for page. "Global by Page" means that each page is operated on separately, but all pages are operated on. Lines will not be moved from page to page. Additionally, Defaults requires that a specification be made of "Empty lines" or all lines. Qfonedit: The Qmodem Phone Directory Editor Page 15 Appendix C: TopView and DESQview Qfonedit will run under TopView, "in a window". In order to install Qfonedit under TopView, select "Add a Program to Menu" from the opening TopView menu. From the "Select a Program" menu, select "Other". When prompted, provide the path to the directory in which Qfonedit resides. Then when prompted, provide the "Program Title"--the name TopView will use in listing Qfonedit on the opening menu--and the "Program Name"-- QFONEDIT.COM. For "Memory Requirements", type 196. After you hit Enter, TopView will return to the opening menu. There, select "Change Program Info" and then select Qfonedit. Edit the screen to change the following information to what is shown here: Data Files Location = [ dr:path to QMODEM.FON ] Program writes directly to screen : n Program accesses system keyboard buffer : n Program runs only in the foreground : n Program uses math coprocessor : n I am told that the techniques which enable Qfonedit to run in a TopView window should also enable it to run in a window under DESQview.
