- PMCARD
-
- Jeff Prosise October 30, 1990 (Utilities)
-
- Purpose: An OS/2 Presentation Manager utility that stores and retrieves
- names, addresses, and telephone numbers. The program can search its data file
- for a specified string and, if a modem is connected, it can dial the phone.
-
- Format: PMCARD [filename]
-
- Remarks: PMCARD (short for CardFile for Presentation Manager) can be
- given a card data [filename] either on the command line or in its Settings
- menu. If you run the program for the first time without specifying a
- filename, it will present a blank card. Information can be entered in any
- form, up to six lines per card. New blank cards can be inserted at a
- particular position by selecting Insert Card with the mouse or by pressing F4.
- The clipboard commands can be used to copy information to additional cards and
- to exchange information with other PM applications. Phone numbers may include
- hyphens, spaces, commas, and parentheses; two phone numbers listed on the same
- line must be separated by at least one other character than these.
-
- There are three ways to search for user-specified text strings: click
- on the Srch button, select Search from the Options menu, or press F5. You can
- specify whether searches should be case sensitive or not by checking or
- unchecking the case sensitive box in the Search dialog box. The default
- communications parameters are COM1, 1200 bps, no parity, 8 data bits, and 1
- and hang-up command strings from the Settings menu. Thereafter, if you
- connect a modem, you can call a number by using the Dial button or F9. The
- number you wish to call is displayed in the dialog box entry field and may
- changed or entered manually.
