- ENCODE HELP version 1.06 3-2-86
-
- (C) 1985, 1986 by Merlin R. Null
-
-
- ENCODE is pseudo compiler for dBASE II version 2.4 or higher
- command files. Programs encoded with ENCODE will run with the
- regular version of dBASE II version 2.4 or higher. Ashton-Tate's
- RUNTIME is not required, although it could be used. RUNTIME is
- simply an amputated version of dBASE II that only has the ability
- to run programs, not edit them. Encoded programs will run faster
- and provide a limited measure of security for the source code.

- Calling a Directory Listing
-
- To call a directory from the title screen simply enter the drive
- you wish to list.
-
- Filename.SRC or Drive:? A:
-
- This will list the directory of drive A: and give the prompt
- again.
-
- Directory of drive A:
- FOO .CMD DBSOURCE.BAS DBSOURCE.COM TEST2 .CMD A10 .CMD
- ENCODE .BAS ENCODE .COM MBASIC .COM D .COM SAMPLE .CMD
- BOOKS .DBF BOOKS .FRM DBASE .COM CLS .DAT TERMSET .BAS
- CLEARSET.COM DBASEMSG.TXT DBASEOVR.COM B4 .CMD C3P0 .CMD
- DBINDENT.BAS DBINDENT.COM DOCTOR .BAS A10 .SRC A10 .BAK
- CLONE .CMD TEST .CMD CLONE .SRC A10 .OLD DBSRC2 .COM
- DBSRC2 .BAS
- Filename[.SRC] or Drive:?
-
- The ZCPR like drive call of A; will also work to call the
- directory, even if you are not running ZCPR. The Filename.SRC
- may be entered here or a <RETURN> will redisplay the start
- screen.
-
-
- Encoding a File
-
- A file to be encoded MUST have the extension .SRC. Just rename
- your source file to <filename>.SRC, and then enter the
- <filename>[.SRC] at the ENCODE prompt:
-
- Filename[.SRC] or Drive:?
-
- Entering the extension .SRC at the prompt is optional. ENCODE
- assumes the extension to be .SRC if it is not given. You may
- also encode a file from the CP/M command line by entering
-
- ENCODE <filename>[.SRC].
-
- Option
-
- N No console display of input file. This is the only option.
-
- The N option must preceded by a space:
-
- Filename.[SRC] or Drive:? SAMPLE.SRC N
