- Version 1.00
-
- IT'S ALL IN THE BABY'S NAME!
- ----------------------------
-
- This program is a light-hearted look at choosing a
- baby's name. It is a limited database, drawn from a large
- variety of ethnic backgrounds. Some of the combinations
- can be quite startling, some quite plain, and some will be
- recognized as relatives!
-
- For best results, use a color monitor. At least 64k
- is required to run this compiled BASIC program. A printer
- is useful. No special printer codes or graphics are used.
-
- The opening screen asks for the baby's surname. After
- entering the surname, the menu of options is displayed.
- The active options are shown in red.
-
- F1 = View a random combination of names.
- Choosing this option will activate the
- option of viewing (F5) girls names or (F6)
- boys names. Also activated is the option to
- return to the main menu, or quitting the
- program.
-
- F5/F6 = View Girls/Boys names will display two
- columns of First name, Middle Name and the
- chosen surname, picked by random selection.
-
- ERESSA MARJORIE JONES DRUCILLA MARILYN JONES
- MEGAN KIT JONES JOANN JOY JONES
- VIOLA JOLENE JONES BRIDGET VIOLA JONES
- MARIE LEE JONES JANICE ELEANOR JONES
- BERNICE SOPHIE JONES AMELIA EMILY JONES
-
- Again, the option of returning to the main menu or
- quitting is offered. The selection of F10 will display
- another random list of names.
-
-
- F2 = Print a random combination of names. The
- same options as F1 are offered, only the
- list of names is sent to a printer. The
- program will ask if the printer is READY.
- If you answer no, you will be returned to
- the main menu, other wise the GIRL/BOY
- selection will become active again. The
- list will print onto 8 1/2 by 11 size paper.
- Printing begins immediately, so be sure the
- paper is positioned properly and is ready to
- accept data before answering.

-
-
- F3 = View a select combination of names. After
- choosing whether to utilize girl or boy
- names, a numbered list of all the names
- available in the database are presented.
- At each screen the number associated with
- the desired name is entered. If you wish
- to go to the next page, type "DONE". If you
- wish to end your selections, type "END". A
- list of random combinations of the names
- you have selected will then be shown. (If
- you have a favorite, entering that name
- number will "weight" the combinations in
- favor of that name.)
-
- When this function is first chosen, you are
- given an option to sent the results to the
- printer. If you wish to have the list
- printed, be sure to have the printer on and
- ready, BEFORE making your selections.
-
- F4 = Change the last name used. Use this option,
- if after arguing about the choice of names,
- you decide to marry someone else.
-
-
-
-
-
- CAUTION: Anyone utilizing F1 (View a random
- combination of names), and cannot find
- anything to smile about should seek
- professional help.
