What is ReadyRef?
All too frequently, if you are like me, you will be sitting at
your computer and want a quick piece of information. You have to
break your train of thought, find the book or document containing
the information you require, look it up, and then go back to the
computer and pick up where you left off. Even if the information
is on your hard disk and you have a suitable file browser in-
stalled, it can be a nuisance getting to, and reading, the spe-
cific file you want.
And most of the time (again, if you are like me) the information
you need amounts to only a few lines of text which could readily
be associated with a key word or phrase.
ReadyRef overcomes this problem!
ReadyRef is an on-line reference aid. It is unlike other on-line
reference aids, however. ReadyRef gives you complete freedom to
include whatever reference topics you wish. Any ASCII text file
can be used as a reference topic.
* You can build or modify your own reference topics, by
either creating your own files or adapting existing files.
* You can decide for yourself the wording and form your
reference topic presentations will take.
* If you have documents contained in disk files, these files
easily can be adapted to ReadyRef, often with less than
one hour's work.
* If you don't like what you have after using it for a
while, you can change it in any way you wish, or even
remove it from ReadyRef.
In short, you are not bound by someone else's decision as to what
you want or need. As you create reference topics and register
them with ReadyRef, it will become the reference aid specifically
designed for you and your work style.
But even before customizing ReadyRef by creating your own
reference topics, you can use it effectively with the topics
which are preregistered. ReadyRef has the capability for as many
as 14 reference topics at any one time. Three of these are fixed;
the remaining eleven are for you to define and use as you will.
The fixed ReadyRef reference topics are:
* A complete ASCII code table.
* A calendar displaying any desired three month period.
* A five function date calculator, permitting calculation
of:
- The number of days between any two given dates.
- The date corresponding to any number of days before
or after a given date.
- The day of the week on which any date, past or
future, falls.
- The number of weekdays between any two given dates.
- The date corresponding to any number of weekdays
before or after a given date.
ReadyRef comes to you with four user defined topics prereg-
istered. The preregistered topics are:
* A summary of DOS commands, providing reference on the
syntax and function of each described command.
* A summary of current U.S. domestic postal rates, with
definitions provided for each mail class.
* A listing of telephone area codes, by state and major
locality.
* A personal telephone directory. As provided, the
associated text file is intended as a skeleton (although
it contains a few useful telephone numbers). The intent is
that, after looking at the way it is laid out, you will be
able to fill it in using any convenient editor or word
processor.
ReadyRef gives the user the ability to select new sets of general
reference topics "on the fly." Thus ReadyRef can provide access
to a virtually unlimited number of reference topics at any time
with only a few keystrokes.
ReadyRef can be loaded so that it can be invoked when another
application is running (i.e., as a "TSR" (Terminate and Stay
Resident program)) or it can be run in nonresident mode from the
DOS prompt.
