A COMMO DIRECTORY MANAGER - Version 1.0
Written by Charles Crawford.
DOCUMENTATION
So I like Commo! Yup, it works for me since I use speech
synthesis and it has that nifty speech friendly mode. The only
problem is that I like sorted directories and so I've written
this file directory manager to work for me!
It's public domain and so feel free to use it as you like.
Of course I take no responsibility (nor anyone or anything else
in the known universe) for it's operation. It works for me and
so it should work for you.
Running the program is pretty self explanatory. All you do
is copy the files to a directory other than Commo and run "CDM"
by typing "CDM" and pressing enter.
1. You'll see a great screen about the MCB BBS which I
operate and then you are off to the program.
2. You get to either add or edit entries in the "Commo.dbf"
database file. Once you are done, then the program will write a
"Commo.fon" ascii text file which you can copy to your Commo
directory after you view it to make sure you like it.
The program sorts the entries in alphabetical order and
that's about all it does. This version does not import from your
current "Commo.fon" file and so you will need to enter all those
entries you currently have over again. Sorry about that but the
problem is that the Commo text file is so free format that it is
impossible to write a program to recognize what is what in your
current file directory.
Adding entries is just answering the questions that come up
on the screen. You get 25 spaces for the BBS name, 25 spaces for
the number, 8 spaces for any macro you may have written or use,
and an additional 12 spaces for any parameters that you want with
that particular entry. If you don't use a macro or have a
different set of parameters from the original Commo.set file,
then simply press enter to leave the field blank.
Editing entries is just as easy as adding them. All menu
driven and just answer the hot key prompts and edit as you wish.
You can simply browse your entries while in the edit option by
pressing the move on selection.
Enjoy and if you have any questions, then call the MCB BBS
and leave a comment for the Sysop (me). The database already
contains the necessary line for the MCB BBS since I have to do
something to get you to call, right?
