Matchit is a Soundex based Genealogy door to allow users to enter up to 10
ancestor names (with location and time frame) to be added to a database all
users of the door can access to look for common ancestors you are searching
for.
MKMATCH.EXE - Program to allow you to make your own MATCHIT.IMP file
offline to upload to a BBS running "The MatchIt Door".
MKMATCH will ask you the following information:
<1> Name : Your name, if it's a common name use your middle initial also.
<2> Address : Your street address or Post Office Box. {optional}
<3> City, ST: Where you are from
<4> Phone : Your phone number if you want people anywhere calling you
{optional and not advised, but available}
<A> N 1
<B> N 2
<C> N 3
<D> N 4
<E> N 5
<F> N 6
<G> N 7
<H> N 8
<I> N 9
<J> N10 : Ten fields for you to enter Surnames, Locations and
Time Periods of relatives you are researching.
<Q> Quit without saving info : Let's you quit without saving the data.
<S> Save info and quit : Saves the data and exits the file.
MKMATCH.EXE makes MATCHIT.IMP from your data.
You must then use the program PKZIP to make a ZIP archive named MATCHNEW.ZIP.
If you have PKZIP in your DOS path, all you need to do is type the following:
PKZIP -ex MATCHNEW MATCHIT.IMP
This will create the archive file necessary for you to upload to a BBS using
"The MatchIt Door". All you have left to do is call a BBS using "The MatchIt
Door" and upload MATCHNEW.ZIP when inside the door. Your record will be added
automatically by "The MatchIt Door".
We hope these programs assist you in "Finding your Roots".
Thanks for using "The MatchIt Door" and utilities.
