BABY.EXE
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.
