(2) AMAC-PRG.ZIP is a separate file not part of AMAC40.ZIP, see
AMAC-PRG.INF for contents.
AMACxx.ZIP is uploaded to CompuServe IBMAPP Lib 0 (Lib 1 after 30
days in Lib 0), Exec-PC (414-789-4210), and SemWare
(404-641-8968). All are PC Pursuitable except CompuServe.
The AMAC series of macros contain broadly useful QEdit macros I
wrote, and many macros were contributed by John Goodman, et al.
AMACxx.ZIP is uploaded to CompuServe IBMAPP Lib 0 (Lib 1 after 30
days in Lib 0), Exec-PC (414-789-4210), and SemWare
(404-641-8968).
A description and running instructions for each macro is in a
txtfile [filename].QM where [filename] is the name of the macros.
The user is advised to read BOOK18.QM first since AMAC40.ZIP
requires many files be configured with the user's directory
containing the AMAC files. After configuring, the simplest way
to load a macro for execution, for example BOOK18.MAC, is to type
"START BOOK" <Enter>. All pertinent files will be loaded in the
"Ring" for viewing, and BOOK18.MAC is read. A brief description
of all macros is in ALLMACRO.INF. The other new techniques for
loading and executing macros are described in BOOK18.QM.
For running and conversion of these macros, "QEdit and QMAC v2.1,
Feb. 1990" or later are required.
Problems or suggestions?
------------------------
Any problems or suggestion, John Goodman and I would like to hear
from you. I am especially interested in knowing if the new
macros in BOOKxx.QM work for you. I have been using them for
several weeks, and I am encouraged by their versatility and
power. They involve a new technique that has not been fully user
tested and are my first real effort to have a macro read a macro,
a heretofore not recommended procedure. Until this "macro reading
a macro" technique can be fully tested and proven to be viable, I
am recommending the user *not* use this technique in other macros
without full knowledge of it's pitfalls and limitations.
I can be reached daily on either SemWare, Exec-PC or NewWare. I
check CompuServe only once a month. I will also try to include
your useful macros in AMAC if you send them to me. John Goodman
can be reached on SemWare and Exec-PC. I hope you find some of
these macros useful. I have enjoyed writing them.
