- ; This is the header for the assembler file to:
- ; Saver01 -- *experimental* saverest with 4 screens -- adapted
- ; from SAVEREST by H.M. Van Tassell
-
- ; To generate .BIN file for for dBaseIII LOAD/CALL
- ; 1. MASM saveres4;
- ; 2. LINK saveres4;
- ; 3. EXE2BIN saveres4
- ; Use the file saveres4.BIN with your dBaseIII+ program
- ; Syntax:
- ; LOAD SAVER01
- ; CALL SAVER01 WITH "Sx" or "Rx" where "x" is between
- ; 0 and 3 ONLY!! (other values will do nothing).
- ; Added 8/11/86 -- ability to save/restore to/from files
- ; Syntax:
- ; *MUST* be called with a memvar argument!
- ; *evidently, dBASE does not treat literal strings quite
- ; *the way it treats memvars when passing (or anytime I guess)
- ; CALL saver01 with memvar
- ; *--if memvar="Wxpathname" will save area x to file "pathname"
- ; *--if memvar="Lxpathname" will restore area x from file "pathname"
- ;
- ; What's next?
- ; 1) "popups"--that is, partial screens
- ; 2) compatibility with files produced by UI and SAYWHAT?!
- ; (What this means, boys and girls, is do not expect upward compatibility
- ; and hardcode in anything--the params will most likely change quite a bit.)

- ; If you wish to support the development of this and other ASM routines,
- ; here's the scoop:
- ;
- ; I have released a number of programs into the public domain with no
- ; request for compensation. However, the subsequent releases of this
- ; routine and other stuff I am preparing will be an experiment with
- ; "shareware" until I see if I am getting any response. If you wish to
- ; be included in the mailing list for the eventual release of an advanced
- ; dBASE text and sample programs, as well as updates for the ASM routines
- ; I have been writing, drop me a donation which will hopefully cover at
- ; least the cost of mailing you a disk. At present any extra funds will
- ; finance the creation of a BBS and more time for development. BTW, since
- ; I haven't finished this thing yet and it's really sloppy, I do *not*
- ; include the source code, but will include any parts of it which are not
- ; proprietary to The Research Group or Wallsoft Systems in the future. RF
