FIELD CHECK version 1.1
Copyright Exhibit A Communications, 1991
Michael J. Gibbs
110 East Avenida Palizada, Suite 201
San Clemente, CA 92672
March 25, 1991
DESCRIPTION
FIELD CHECK will check any comma-delimited data file (ala
WordStar's mailmerge) and check to ensure that every line has the
correct number of fields. It will also look for unmatched
quotation marks on each line. Lines with errors will be reported
on screen and sent to an error file on disk.
SHAREWARE
FIELD CHECK is being released as shareware which means that
you, as an individual may try this program for a reasonable
period of time for evaluation purposes. If you wish to continue to
use the program, you are obligated to register with Exhibit A
Communications. Registration will accomplish many things:
1) Remove the annoying "beg screen" when program exits
2) Remove the annoying "beg message" in the error file
3) Returns cursor to bottom of screen rather than in the
middle, allowing you to continue working without
having to clear the screen.
4) Entitles you to the latest version of FIELD CHECK
5) Notification of future releases
6) Shareware (non-registered) copies of other Exhibit A
programs.
7) Allow you to contact the programmer for tech support
8) Enable me to go to lunch occasionally!
The cost of FIELD CHECK ($10.00 per registered copy) allows the
user to continue using the program on one computer at one time. This
means that every effort should be made to prevent any possibility that
two copies may be run at the same time on different computers.
Corporate or business users are required to pay for each
copy in use at their business. Volume discounts are available
upon request.
Unregistered shareware versions of this program may not
be sold without the permission of Exhibit A Communications.
(This means YOU shareware distributors!) You may of course sell
a registered copy so long as you transfer all copies of the
registered program to the new owner.
USAGE
FIELD CHECK can be run interactively or from the
command-line. By entering FC alone on the command line,
the user is offered the opportunity to enter the name of the file
they wish checked as well as the number of fields on each line.
Command-line usage is as follows:
FC <filename> <number of fields> <error file name>
Where <filename> is the name of the data file to be checked, <number of
fields> is what it says and <error file name> allows user to specify the name
of the output file. The program will immediately begin checking <filename> for
<number of fields>. Any errors will be displayed in the error
window as well as listed in the file FLD_CHK.ERR.
