This is the doc file for the Phone book editor for the phone book for
the latest version of VLT (V4.777). It requires ARexx v1.06 or better and
RexxARPlib.library v2.3 or better.
This file is copyright 1990, Dan Sugalski. It may be redistributed with
the archive in which it appears, which may be freely redistributed but
not sold for profit, so long as that archive has not been altered from the
original.
The program is really very simple. It allows you to edit the phone
book files for the autodialer included in this archive. The format of the
phone entry is very simple:
BBS_Name Phone_number Macro_name Parity Strip?
note that in the current version of the autodialer (beta .7) the phone
entry line is delimited by spaces. The phone book editor will automatically
replace spaces in the BBS name with underscores.
The operation of the editor is very straightforward. Enter the name,
number and macro name into the gadgets, and select the appropriate parity
and strip mode. Note that, though this version does not delete, any entry
with an empty (no spaces even) BBS name will not be saved to the output
file.
This program reads and writes to a file called 'S:VLTPhone', which is
read by the autodialer. (Next version may contain a user selectable
filename). If this file does not exist, then it is created for you.
The four gadgets at the bottom of the screen control the program and
perform as might be expected. Note that you cannot back up past record 1 or
advance past the end of the file. To add another entry, choose "New" and a
new record will be appended to the end of the file.
Changes are only saved to the disk file when the "Save" gadget is
selected.
Oh, yeah, whenever any of the non-string gadgets are selected, all the
gadgets are redrawn. I realize that this is both messy and slow, but it
will be fixed (hopefully).
