COPYRIGHT INFORMATION
KEEP-TRAK is a set of five MBASIC programs that are copyrighted
(c) 1985 by Harvey G. Lord. All rights are reserved.
DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS
Permission is granted to copy these programs for noncommercial
purposes only on the condition that (1) no fee is charged for
said programs, (2) the author's name and copyright notice are not
removed, (3) this documentation accompanies the programs, and (4)
the sign-on notice of ownership remains unchanged on any and all
subsequent distributions.
Aside from the above, anyone may have copies of KEEP-TRAK and may

TERMINAL DEPENDENCIES
This KEEP-TRAK version, the one published in PROGRAMMING FOR
REAL, BOOK II runs on a Televideo 920. The Osborne 1 computer
uses a Televideo-compatible terminal. Other computers do, too.
A version of the program for the VT-100 terminal (DEC Rainbow and
others) is available. Contact the author for details.
REQUIREMENTS
KEEP-TRAK requires Microsoft BASIC, MBASIC, and a two-drive (A:
and B:) computer system. It will run under any operating system
that supports MBASIC.
OPERATION
To run KEEP-TRAK, extract all files from the KEEPTRAK.LBR library
file (using LU or a similar library utility), unsqueeze them
(using NUSQ or a similar unsqueezing utility), and place them on
one disk with a copy of MBASIC. Place that disk in drive A: and
a blank, formatted disk in B:. Execute MBASIC K-TMENU<cr>.
Follow the directions on the screen.
Do not try to execute any program in this system except K-TMENU!
The others chain from K-TMENU and pass variables back and forth.
Without those variables, serious problems will ensue.
SOURCE CODE AND DOCUMENTATION
To help understand KEEP-TRAK, how it works, and how to modify it,
the complete source code and documentation are found in two
books: BEYOND GAMES: PROGRAMMING FOR REAL BOOK I and FRIENDLY
SOFTWARE: PROGRAMMING FOR REAL BOOK II. Both books were
