Walking Fingers
Version 1.0
Copyright (c) 1993
by David Geffen
Walking Fingers is a small program to handle small (up to
30k) text files.
It may easily be used as a phone/address book, todo list,
little black book or as your personal Yellow Pages.
The user-interface is extremely friendly and inviting. It
has a great look and feel and does exactly what you need
without hassle, arguments and persuasion -
(Do you want to delete?) yes
(Are you sure?) yes
(This could result in loss of data) yeah, I know
(Well then, this is your last chance) yes, delete
(Say please)
You may search for any entries in any file by giving Walking
Fingers some hints. Say you have a phone book file and need
to find the number of John Smith. More than likely, you've
got about 385 John Smiths. The John Smith you're looking
for, however, lives in Fairway Avenue (or Street, or was that
Farway Street or Fair Avenue Lane...) Just enter something
like "jo smi fa" (without the "), press Search (that's the
button with the fingers that do the walking) and you'll
probably find the elusive Mr. Smith.
Walking Fingers reads any text file. The only criteria is
that an entry end with not one, but two carriage returns
(\n). A typical phone book might look like this:
Big Betty
(613) 543 1234
Sweet Things
Suite 911
John Smith
(714) 123 4567
Faraway Place
CA. 60001
etc.
Text in the edit window may be scrolled, inserted, deleted
and otherwise manipulated. No serious editing functions are
provided. Clipboard functions are, of course, fully
supported.
Help is, in this version, still somewhat meagre, but will be
improved with time.
If you need to find a tidbit of information, like now, then
there's nothing to beat it.
