Disclaimer General Program Information COLOR GRAPHICS ADAPTOR REQUIRED Please Note That this program REQUIRES that you have a COLOR GRAPHICS ADAPTOR installed to run and that this program WILL NOT RUN ON a Monochrome Adaptor .I can Supply One for a monochrome adaptor (maybe) but it has not been tested on a monochrome adaptor since I don't Have one installed in my system! (So it may still not run on a monochrome adaptor. ) I use Color Video Page Switching for some (most) of my messages INCLUDING the error messages! BUT you dont need a Color monitor to use my program Evaluation Copy If this is an evaluation copy (check copyright message)then: 1: at 2 years from the program year (and from then on) you will get a message that the program is outdated . 2: at 5 years from the program year the program will not run. It will print message and stop. I think 5 years is fair! 3: all of this means that a valid DOS date must be entered to use this program. You can not just press enter at date request by DOS. If you have a clock card there should be no problem. I do not see this as a problem, but If it becomes one please advise. Copyright screen will say if it is an evaluation copy and registered versions DO NOT check the current date. THERE IS NO OTHER DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REGISTERED AND UN-REGISTERED PROGRAM VERSIONS. PROGRAM SUPPORT I will support any and all copies of my program, registered and not registered for as long as there seems to be a need and normally at no charge. BUT: At some point I will expect payment of the registration fee for un-registered copies at the fee listed in the latest version that you have received!! There will be no charge for support (except maybe postage ) up to that point. I will charge an update fee for general updates (to running programs) as listed in this documentation. SPECIAL FILE NAMES ---- PLEASE READ I have Decided to use the Following Filenames As work files: $CALEVAS.xx$ , $xxCALEV.AS$ etc. XX can be anything and the extension may change some ;like General Program information General Program Information $calev.as$ etc. But since no one else should be using my name for there file names I will WRITE and / or ERASE these files AT WILL with no checking before hand !! MY files will be created in the DEFAULT DRIVE ROOT DIRECTORY and may or may not be erased after their use. Some of my other programs may use the results. If you have files with these names you should remove them from the ROOT DIRECTORY on the Current DEFAULT drive before running any Of my programs. I give this warning to anyone using my name as a filename; their files may be erased !!!! Sometimes I may Use Other Directories for my files ,but they will be erased (or you may have a choice). It Is very hard to decide on work files so as not to destroy anyone's Data, so this is the way I must do this. I Will TRY NOT TO LEAVE FILES ANYWHERE EXCEPT IN THE CURRENT DEFAULT DRIVE ! And I will try to make a note as to which program uses what files. PLEASE READ THE ABOVE !!!! Please note that no provision has been made so far for a disk full condition !. This means that the maximum size file that can be processed on a 360K diskette is approximately 160K IF NO OTHER FILES ARE ON THAT DISKETTE. This applies to disk writes (print Images and any work files used ) to diskettes. Generally you must have at least as much space left on the disk as the program you are processing used. Hard disks should not be a real problem unless you are 98 % full!! 6 June 1990 Version Numbers are no longer valid ,program is now dated. Version numbers could be anything! (at present reset to 0.00 ) and will be updated at any change for my use only. The version numbers can have a very wide range of numbers and will be changed each time the file is loaded to make any correction, even a spelling change!! Sometimes I may change it to tell me something important. Or I may even reset it to 0! The program date is now use for program control information IT is now important to use the forms in this file to request information and program support and registration since the document date is now printed along with the program name and it will help me tell which document (date) file you may have. It would be nice if you sent a printed screen of the copyright message if you write. Thanks much General Program information PowerBasic Crossreferance Program This program manual is an ADD ON manual at present. Each Date adds Instructions and /or comments. Check the maunal first. 20 Apr 89 Crossref is a variable listing program for Turbobasic files (only). If you try to list a standard basic program you will get a very long list of line numbers (all of them) This program is for Turbo Basic programs that use line numbers only as labels!. A color graphics adaptor is needed to use the menu screen for file name entry. What you get with this program is a breakdown of variables and some other items in the program . The first listing is as they occur in the program , the second is a sorted list by type in groups. This program uses a work file "Drive\path(s)\filename .$$6" (from the original file name). Be sure you dont have a file buy that name on your disk before you start! No check is made to prevent overwrite of an existing file of that name. The disk MUST have enough space left to save the first pass information ( about 40% of the source code size, maybe more. Use care when you select the page width because that sets the number of columns of printout. At present there are no page feeds between some pages only at headers, you may want to set your printer to do these !. As said before this program uses *.$$6 as a work file and should not cause any problems to your original file. But always use care till you are sure of that. Crossref needs a lot of memory to run and the sort is at present VARY SLOW on large programs!. 10 Jan 90 version 4.00 Crossref will now ask if you want to crossref all files found in any $include statements found in the selected starting program. If you answer yes then crossref will treat all files found as one large file , but at present it is still very slow on long programs crossref can also write its file to disk but use care since this is still set up for my system ! READ THE SCREENS with CARE. Crossref makes two listings : the first is an as found listing and the second is a sorted listing. also note the heading marked variables could be named variables and leftovers since this is where any thing that I can't define or that I forgot goes.! The Formfeed problem listed above is corrected I hope. and the program is set to use a little less paper. Note that if your $include files need default paths and or drives so does Crossref. It will quit on errors of file not found. To prevent this Use Full (complete) file names in your $includes. 11 May 90 Interim version P00 I am in the process of updating to Power Basic ver 2 from Turbo Basic and this is the first version compiled under Crossreferance Program PowerBasic Crossreferance Program PowerBasic and I hope I have made all corrections need to run under Power basic ..use care running version P00. Crossref is not yet set up for Powerbasic statements so they will show up under variables and I have no idea what the results will be if crossref is run on source files of other Basic compilers. Let me know. 6 June 1990 Version Numbers are no longer valid ,program is now dated. Version numbers could be anything! (at present reset to 0.00 ) and will be updated at any change for my use only. I have Corrected problem with end of file if two $include files end at same time. Please note that no provision has been made so far for a disk full condition !. This means that the maximum size file that can be processed on a 360K diskette is approximately 160K (Source file(s)) IF NO OTHER FILES ARE ON THAT DISKETTE. *********************** 28 June 1990 Due to the many problems encountered trying to make crossref work for both Turbo Basic and Power Basic source code and because TurboBasic support has been all but dropped by Borland I have Made the following changes. The name for Crossref has been changed to Turboxrf for the TurboBasic version and Powerxrf for the PowerBasic version. Turboxrf will have limited support as follows: Since many problems may be common to both program versions I will attempt to correct any problems with Turboxrf IF 1- Enough information is supplied (on diskette) to define the problem (a small source code fragment ,at least 1k, must be supplied on a diskette that shows the problem ) 2- The register/comment form is returned showing the program date and 3- Does not require major changes . Powerxrf will be supported until there is a reason not to do so. Enhancements to Turboxrf will be few from this date on. Since at present I use an add on method for my manual and there will be for a while only one manual for both versions of the program, any comments beyond this point and date will be for powerxrf only unless stated otherwise. At some point there may be two manuals and there may also be two copies to the same manual under the different program names! I will be enhancing and updating Powerxrf as needed and I will only (generally) be correcting problems for Turboxrf. Crossreferance Program PowerBasic Crossreferance Program I will Try To make Powerxrf run on TurboBasic source code that does not use PowerBasic reserved words and statements. Note that items that the program does not understand will generally show up under the variables listing and should be easey to find and use as needed. *************************** New shipments of the Powerxrf program may not include a copy of the Turboxrf (Turbo Basic) version of the program. If you have Powerxrf and want the Turboxrf program send $1.25 (stamps ok ), a diskette ( any format size 360k to 1.44meg ) and a Printed registration / comment form (must show date and program name) to me at the address on the form. I will send both programs and documents needed to any who register the original Crossref program and they will be considered to have registered the new Powerxrf program. Any copies of the program Turboxrf need not be registered if Powerxrf has been registered! *************************** 28 June 1990 Any Comments and / or instructions from here on are for POWERXRF unless stated otherwise! *************************** 1 AUG 1990 I have changed the printer setups to one menu screen with options to choose from. AND I have added a default setup file that is written to disk when the setups are changed. This file is called \$CALEVA.Sxx$ The extension changes if the "xx" are used. Xx can be anything! THERE IS NOR ERROR CHECKING ON THIS FILE ,I MEAN NONE!. IF some one is using my name for a file name my program will over write ,so check first. For most of my programs I will use \$CALEV.AS$ for the printer setups and most of my programs will see any changes made by any other of my programs! REMEMBER no error checking so far on this file. If a disk full / read / write or any error occurs the file will be ignored, BUT what it gets on a read will be used. So that if the last write failed you could get some strange information on the setup screen! Just erase the file to reset and restart the program. IF the file reads and writes OK then you need only press return to unless the printer settings have been changed. THIS PROGRAM dose NOT change ANY printer settings so to work correctly it must match the printer settings. Note also there is a 6 / 8 lines per inch setting now for those who have printers that are printing at 8 line per inch. The setup file will ALWAYS go to the CURRENT DEFAULT DRIVE ROOT DIRECTORY. You can therefor have setup files in many drive root directories and in the root directories of MANY DISKETTES! Try to use the same DEFAULT drive (and / or Diskette) when you run this program. IF some one is using my name for a file in the root directory of ANY disk you had best move it to a Crossreferance Program PowerBasic Crossreferance Program sub-directory because it WILL BE WRITTEN OVER. Since no one should be using my name for a file name this should not be a problem! MY file name should never show up in a sub-directory please Advise if it ever does! Crossreferance Program
