For Those who like to play with character figures.
Automove is just a little program that will let you make character
figures which are stored on the database and then actuate them with
F1. The trick is to make successive character figures do something
in sequence. You give each figure a picture set number and an entry
number. You then can chain the entries in the NEXT field by entering
the character set number and the entry number togehter in the NEXT field.
REQUIREMENTS IBM compatible PC with DOS 3.0 or higher.
COLOR monitor suggested but not required.
INSTALLATION
Insert the diskette into your floppy drive. Make a directory
on the disk to which you will copy the programs for execution. For
instance to make a directory called "AUTOMOVE" on your "C" drive enter:
C>MKDIR \AUTOMOVE
Next copy all of the programs from the installation disk to this directory. E.G
C>COPY A:*.* \AUTOMOVE.*
Now change to the directory:
C>CD \AUTOMOVE
You will have to use PKZIP to unpack the files.
To Execute AUTOMOVE enter:
C> AUTOMOVE
CURSOR CONTROLS
*NOTE - On this particular program when the Cusor is after the upper
fields it doesn't move field to field so that you can effectively draw
your picture.
IT"S BEST IF YOUR GOING TO DRAW A PICTURE TO DEPRESS THE END KEY TO START.
When you're done you can hit the HOME key to re-activate cursor field
movement.
The Cursor is set up to use the following keys:
TAB/UP CURSOR -Tab to the next field
BACK TAB/DOWN CURSOR -Tab to the previous field
LEFT CURSOR - Cursor to the previous character
RIGHT CURSOR -Cursor to the next character
HOME - Cursor to First modifiable field
END -Cursor to Last modifiable field

To retrieve a entry you can enter the Entry Number in the ENTRY field and
depress the ENTER key. If you don't know the Entry depressing the F2 key

entry and F4 will search for the first entry that is greater than or
equal to the entry number in the ENTRY field.
ADDING ENTRIES
To add a new entry enter the PICTURE SET number that you want this
entry to belong to. Then enter the ENTRY number that will represent this
entry in the ENTRY field. Then proceed to make your entry in the character
area. When you are done place your cursor on the entry number and

Added".

scroll by entering a number from 1 to 10 in the Speed field. 10 is slow, 1 is
top speed. Depress the F1 function key to start the automatic scroll thru the

fields and depress the F1 function key. You can depress any key to stop the
scroll and return to normal functionsof the screen.

QUICK PROBLEM DETERMINATION
IF you get a TURBO ACCESS error then try the execution again. If the error
persists. Del all the programs in the directory and re-copy the programs from
the installation disk. If you find a problem with the database you can copy just
the data and index files from the installation disk. You may want to copy the
data and index files as you add to the database as a backup. The data file is
AUTOMOVE.DAT The index file(s) is AUTOMOVE.I* E.G. You can copy the files to
another name such as:
C>copy BIGCHAR.DAT BIGCHAR.SAV
C>copy BIGCHAR.I3 BIGCHAR.S3
C>copy BIGCHAR.I4 BIGCHAR.S4
Sometimes you can delete the index files, Enter the program, put cursor on
PICTURE SET or ENTRY field and depress F1 to rebuild the indexes.
