Fast Entry 1.0 (c) by Levi Page
Description:
This is a complex yet easy to use program to set your computer's
date & time. It provides automatic error checking with each key pressed. Nice
pop-up window that provides a special occasion display on certain dates, gives
the day of the week and displays the date or time in a form that is easy to
read. Fast Entry if FAST, and not's forget easy. Gives you information about
the date that has been entered. And before you enter anything, Fast Entry
gives you information about the date or time that is available.
Check it out for yourself, you won't be disappointed. And to make Fast
Entry even faster, just register and get the opening screens removed.
It is only $5.00, how can you go wrong?
How to install Fast Entry:
Add this statement to your autoexec.bat file first of all:
==> Path=c:\dos ' or the directory containing fe.exe
Next copy the fe.exe file to the directory selected for your path
and leave a statement in your autoexec.bat that runs fe.exe upon startup.
How to use Fast Entry:
Just type in "FE" and a window will pop-up giving you information about
Fast Entry 3.0 and how you may register it. Next a small window pops up giving
a short delay for the Unregistered Version. Once you register the two opening
screens will be removed and you will go directly into date entry mode. This
program is typically useful for people without a clock card or those whose
cards don't work properly. Fast Entry 1.0 may also be useful for people
whoms computer clocks work, but ofter find themthelves changing the date.
If your an honest person or these screens bug you then register you copy.
After reading the opening screens and waiting for the short delay to finish,
just type in the date and it will automaticaly add the "\" character, making
entering the date quick and easier, unlike the dos date command.
Remember checking for invalid entrys is done with each key that is pressed.
But, if you enter a invalid date it will beep, and make you start at the
character that you made the mistake. So for example if you type in 12 and then
you try to type in a "4" it will beep and refuse to print the charater,
letting you know that you have entered a invalid date. Another example of a
invalid entry is if you to perhaps type in 02 ' for Febuary and the you tried
to type in a 3, suggesting that there is 30 days in the month, it will beep
and refuse to print the character letting you try again. Because Febuary only
has 28 days. If you make a mistake just press the left arrow. Backspace also
works. If you would like to start completely over then press the "Del" key.
It will allow you to reenter the date if you make a mistake. As you type in
the date it will display the month, day, and year on the second line of the
window. For example if you type in 02 for Febuary, it will print Febuary. Then
it will add the rest of the date as you type it in. If you want to cancel then
just press the ESC key. Once you have finished entering the month and the
date, Fast Entry 1.0 will print the day of the week and the special occasion
for that day, that is if there is one. For example if you type in 04\01 then
it will print Special Occasion: April Fool's Day inside of the window on third
line. Fast Entry 1.0 is fast and easy, and can be even more faster when the
opening screens are removed. If you want a fast pop-up window with no
shareware screens and with no interruptions then read the below:
Note: The automatic error checking also applies when entering of the time.
Demo.Exe:
A demo of how fast and easy the registered demo is. You cannot enter
the date, but it will show a demo of someone entering the date without
the opening screens. Showing just how FAST Fast Entry 1.0 can be.
Note: The demo is only display the entering of the date. There is no
since in showing you the time to. I am pretty sure you will get the
point of just how FAST Fast Entry can be with just the date being
entered.
Bugs:
Got a error? Let me know about it and you can get the registered version
for $4.00 instead of $5.00. Just tell me where the error occured and
the error code that it returned.
Regristration:
Making this program took a considerable amount of time. So
if you would like to reward me for me work, get the nag ware screens,
removed and get the current registered version on disk then send your
name and address with a money order, check or cash for $5.00 to this
address below:
Note: Cash is not recommended. Note: Specify disk size
Note: Add $0.50 for 3.5 disks.
