CARDXM by (c) Howard L. McHenry Services 1992
Howard L. McHenry Services
CompuServe ID: 71611,366
Purpose:
Uses a Cardx database of names, addresses, phone
numbers, and added information with a Hayes-compatible autodialer as
a Terminate and Stay Resident program.
Format:
CARDXM [d:][filespec] or CARDXM will load the default file in the
Cardx configuration file.
Start CARDXM in the same directory as your Cardx files. The
CARDX.CFG file is needed to configure the program.
Remarks:
CARDXM is normally loaded with a specific Cardx database (filespec)
by being listed as a line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. You can switch
to another database by unloading Cardxm and repeating the command
with a different filespec at the DOS prompt. The Alt-Left Shift key
combination pops up the CARDXM window, and Esc returns you to your
application.
Within the window, the Command keys are assigned thus:
D/E - Dial the #1 or #2 phone number currently displayed.
F4 - Search all cards for a "last, first" name string.
F10 - Print a memo of all data in a record or a label.
You can page through all of the cards with the Up Cursor, Down
Cursor, PgUp, PgDn, and Enter keys. The HOME key lets you jump
quickly to the first card.
To search the database, press F4 and enter a "last, first" name
string. An alternate way to find a name quickly is to press Alt and
a letter key. To find "Ziron," for example, hit Alt-Z, then use Up
Cursor or Enter key to skip past "Zagazinski and "Zharos."
When used with a Hayes-compatible modem, "D", "E" or "F" dials the
#1, #2 or #3 number currently displayed. At the prompt, pick up the
phone or press the Esc key to stop the modem from dialing the number.
CARDXM is configured the same as Cardx, the Cardx configuration
file is used in the same way as Cardx to set-up your modem.
The Configuration, Add, Copy, Edit, Delete, Help screens,
Mark/Transfer, and other Print functions were omitted to keep the
program small and not cause memory problems for your application
programs. These functions are available in the non-resident Cardx
program.
Labels:
On the command line enter a forward slash (switch), the number of
the line to start printing the Name field and the total number of
lines on a label. I. E. <CARDXM /2,6 HLMC> will start printing on
the second line of a six line label and load HLMC.CDX database.
After printing you are still asked if you want a Form Feed, this
will eject one label. Three lines of data will be printed, name,
street address and city, state and zip code.
