- ■ VERBOSE.EXE Version 3.24ßeta
- ■ Telegard 2.7s Verbose Description Utility -Released as FREEWARE
-
- WHAT THIS PROGRAM DOES:
-
- The Concept of this program came after I used FMAINT, which did not "clean"
- my verbose descriptions file. (VERBOSE.DAT)
-
- I wanted to have my verbose descriptions look just as neat as the main
- descriptions for each file, there were no programs out that did that, so
- I wrote one.
-
- SETTING UP THE PROGRAM:
-
- Put this program in with your STATUS.DAT file, it uses this to find your
- "GFILES" directory where your VERBOSE.DAT is located.
-
- SWITCHES:
-
- syntax: VERBOSE -<command>
-
- Switch: Function:
- <no command or -?> Help Screen
- -N Normal Description Clean (see notes on this below)
- -U Make Descriptions UPPER CASE
- -L Make Descriptions lower case
-
- note: case of switch does not matter
-
- * NOTE ON "normal clean (-N)"
-
- A "normal clean" will make the FIRST LETTER OF EACH WORD UPPER CASE and leave
- the rest of each word lower case. i.e "Telegard Bbs Software"
-
- It "cleans" VERBOSE.DAT, replacing the garbage characters that get in all
- data files with "█". This has no effect on Telegard at all.
-
- example of switches:
-
- -N (normal clean)
- Telegard Bbs Software Verbose.Dat
-
- -U
- TELEGARD BBS SOFTWARE VERBOSE.DAT
-
- -L
- telegad bbs software verbose.dat
-
-
- Words in " " are ignored, case stays the same, for example:
- -U
- TELEGARD "bbs" SOFTWARE VERBOSE.DAT
-
- That was simple enough!
-
- TECHNICAL:
-
- Record Retrieve: 51 bytes
-
- Compulation: QuickBASIC 4.5
-
-
- LAST NOTES:
-
- Descriptions are CLEANED everytime the program is executed, regardless of the
- switch used.
