The WAMPUM Text File Editing System is completely menu-driven. Hence, as
they say in the trade, this software is self-documenting.
The syntax for invoking the editor is as follows: EDIT filename or EDIT.
The file extension need not be specified. If no file name is specified,
the editor will prompt for a file name. Pressing <RETURN> at the prompt
will provide a directory listing of WAMPUM text files in the default directory.
An initial form letter file MUST be created using WAMPUM. Once the file
has been created, it can be edited with this editor which permits string
searching as well as inserting records into the middle of an existing file.
The string search function allows you to find the record numbers for records
containing a particular string. The widcard * is supported. Thus, searching
for THE would find the words "the" and "THE" but would not find "THEN". If
you search for THE*, you would find "the" and "THE" plus "THEN" and "THERE".
If you DELETE records, remember to run the FileFix option which PACKS the file
and removes all records marked for deletion.
When running the string search and list functions in display mode rather than
print mode, you may ESCape back to the Main Menu from any screen pause.
Yes, we still are accepting $20 donations for those using EDIT and liking it.
In case you've forgotten, the mailing address is listed below. Your donation
encourages the development of reasonably-priced software.
