JOBS - Documentation
=========================
Files used:- JOBS.EXE
JOBS.DAT
JOBS.DOC (This file)
The game of JOBS is intended to help children with their
understanding of words. In it they are presented with a job name
and, from a list of 5 job descriptions, they have to choose and
type in the description of that job.
Each game consists of 10 such jobs and they are presented with
their score out of 10.
JOBS is intended to form part of a suite of programs called WORD
GAMES. However it can be run on its own by switching to the
directory JOBS and typing JOBS at the > prompt.
The data used by JOBS is held in the ASCII file JOBS.DAT. Being
a simple ASCII file it can be amended with a word processor or
editor running in the ASCII mode.
The form of the data file is as follows:-
First line contains number of jobs in the file.
This is followed on the next line by a job name with its
description on the following line. This pattern is repeated
throughout the file. The length of the job names and the
descriptions must not exceed 38 characters.
You are free to copy and distribute this program either on its
own or with the rest of the programs in the suite. However,
please include this document with the copy:
If you like the program/suite of programs and/or make a copy, it
