-
- A flexible and easy-to-use form filler program. Create a form with any
- text editor, then use FED to fill it out and print it. If the command
- line is empty or a directory is entered without a file name or there
- are wild card characters (* or ?) in the file name, FED will pop up a
- list of files to choose from. Wild card characters will restrict what
- files are displayed in the list. If the keyword ONLY is specified after
- the file name you will not be able to choose another file from inside
- the program.
-
- The file name entered on the command line is a standard ASCII text file.
- FED uses the file as a form with input fields designated by a series of
- underlines with a leading and trailing space. The user will be able to
- enter text into the fields. The form can be printed or saved to a file
- with the information that was entered into the fields. The input file
- itself is not changed unless you overwrite it when saving to a file.
-
- There are three types of files you can save: a standard text that will
- be exactly the same as the printed output, a data fields only file, and
- a special Form File that contains the form and field information. The
- Form File can be read back into FED any time with the data entered into
- the fields still in place. This is a way to place defaults into the form.
- You will be able to add, change, and delete information in the fields
- then print it and/or save it again.
-
- These are the file and input field limits of the form editor program:
- Maximum number of records (lines) in the form (file): 800
- Maximum number of characters displayed from one line: 80
- Maximum number of input fields on one screen (24 lines): 120
- Maximum number of input fields in complete form: 2000
-
- Hardware Requirements: IBM compatible computer, 256K RAM.
-
- Other Requirements: MS-DOS 2.0 & higher or DR-DOS 3.4 & higher.
