- This is the doc file for the Phone book editor for the phone book for
- the latest version of VLT (V4.777). It requires ARexx v1.06 or better and
- RexxARPlib.library v2.3 or better.
- This file is copyright 1990, Dan Sugalski. It may be redistributed with
- the archive in which it appears, which may be freely redistributed but
- not sold for profit, so long as that archive has not been altered from the
- original.
-
- The program is really very simple. It allows you to edit the phone
- book files for the autodialer included in this archive. The format of the
- phone entry is very simple:
-
- BBS_Name Phone_number Macro_name Parity Strip?
-
- note that in the current version of the autodialer (beta .7) the phone
- entry line is delimited by spaces. The phone book editor will automatically
- replace spaces in the BBS name with underscores.
-
- The operation of the editor is very straightforward. Enter the name,
- number and macro name into the gadgets, and select the appropriate parity
- and strip mode. Note that, though this version does not delete, any entry
- with an empty (no spaces even) BBS name will not be saved to the output
- file.
-
- This program reads and writes to a file called 'S:VLTPhone', which is
- read by the autodialer. (Next version may contain a user selectable
- filename). If this file does not exist, then it is created for you.
-
- The four gadgets at the bottom of the screen control the program and
- perform as might be expected. Note that you cannot back up past record 1 or
- advance past the end of the file. To add another entry, choose "New" and a
- new record will be appended to the end of the file.
-
- Changes are only saved to the disk file when the "Save" gadget is
- selected.
-
- Oh, yeah, whenever any of the non-string gadgets are selected, all the
- gadgets are redrawn. I realize that this is both messy and slow, but it
- will be fixed (hopefully).
