*** Micro Cornucopia issue #43
*** Support code for Brett Fishburne's dBASE menu article
Hello!
To use any of the programs at this point, you would have to be familiar with
dBase and the programming language. If you are, then no explanation is really
needed other than that given in the article. In case you are not, I am going
to give you a quick analysis so that you can play with it.
1) Envoke dBase
2) Get to the dot prompt (RETURN then ESC)
3) type "SET DEFAULT TO A:" or whatever drive you have the programs in
4) type "DO MAINMENU" <RETURN>
This is the menu I wanted to generate using the programs.
5) type "Q" or <ESC> to quit
6) type "USE MENUFILE"
7) type "DO DRAWMENU WITH 1,'Strike a LETTER key to evoke the corresponding
operation','MAIN MENU'" <RETURN>
This is the menu I created with the AUTO MENU GENERATOR
8) type "DO MAKEMENU WITH 1,'Strike a LETTER key to evoke the corresponding
operation','MAIN MENU'" <RETURN>
If everything works properly the computer should generate a program
under the name TEMP.MNU. The last time I did this it worked fine,
but it has been a little while.
9) to run the new menu type "DO TEMP.MNU"
This is the menu you created!
10) the other features are blossoming, but they are not quite ready for
this type of cursory description. Again, if you are familiar with
dBase, you should be able to figure them out.
