July 1991 The FAME Program, Version 6.1 1.0 INTRODUCTION FAME is a database program for poets and writers that runs on MS-DOS compatible computers. The program keeps track of the poems/stories/ manuscripts that you write, the publishers that you send them to, and the status (result) of the submission. It also lets you know which poems/stories/manuscripts are available for submission to a particular publisher, factoring in whether or not the publisher accepts simultaneous submissions. It even writes submission, withdrawal, and query letters. FAME has the capacity to handle 198 poems/stories/manuscripts and 162 publishers. Note: in the rest of this description, the word "poem" will be used, but it means poem, story, or manuscript depending on your choice during initialization. Fame also stores up to 20 "reminders." In addition to allowing you to update the status of your poems, the program has a series of pre-established queries that provide many types of summaries. The program is menu driven and very user friendly. The main menu is shown in table 1. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Table 1.

It is not necessary to use the ENTER key. If you want to print out this file, make sure that the README file 1. is in the default subdirectory. Then enter: copy README lpt1: at the DOS prompt. If using a laser printer, set it for 66 lines/page. 2.0 DATA FILES, PROGRAM INITIALIZATION, AND PROGRAM OPERATION If you are running FAME for the first time, read section 2.1 and then run the FAMEI intialization program as described in section 2.2. If you have already been running FAME version 6.0 and want to change the configuration, the name on the front screen, your signature, your address, or the publisher categories, rerun the FAMEI program as you did the first time, and choose the appropriate option(s). If you have been using an earlier version of FAME (5.0 or 5.1), you will have to modify the data files as described in section 2.3. 2.1 The FAME Initializaiton Program (FAMEI) Before using the FAME program, you must first initialize six data files (NAME.DAT, POEM6.DAT, PUB.DAT, PUBAMP6.DAT, remind.dat, and STAT.DAT) using the FAMEI program. The FAMEI program allows you to define your computer and printer configurations and tailor the front screen to show your name and select if you want to use the word "poem", "story" or "manuscript." It also allows you to define up to 7 publisher categories on which you can filter data when using the FAME program. In addition, it creates the data files need by the FAME program and puts one test poem, one test publisher, and one test reminder in the data files so that you can try out the queries. After putting in real data, delete the test data using the Database Update routines. The FAMEI main menu is shown in table 2. ____________________________________________________________________ Table 2 FAMEI Main Menu This is the FAME Initialization Program, Version 6.0, written by HSS. It initializes the files needed by the FAME Program, Version 6.0. The first time you must do a full initialization. Select an initialization option. Your choices are: A --- Computer Configuration B --- Printer Configuration C --- Author's Name and Address D --- Tailor FAME Screens to You Needs E --- Data Files F --- Full Initialization ESC Key - Exit Enter letter of choice. ______________________________________________________________________ When defining printer configuration (option B), you will be asked two questions that control how certain things look when you use FAME to write letters to publishers. The first asks if you want to use italics; this affects how your name and address appear at the top of the letter. The second asks if you want the names of publishers 2. contained in the body of the letter to be bold or enclosed in quotes. The FAME program generates commands to the printer for turning on and off italics and bolding, using commands that are compatible with most standard dot matrix printers. For other printers these commands may be ignored or may be misinterpreted. For example, one popular laser printer misinterprets the FAME generated "turn off bold" command as a "start new page" command, incorrectly splitting the letters into two pages. If these commands cause problems with your printer, rerun the "Configuration" portion of the FAMEI program and select the "No Italics" and/or "Quotes Instead of Bold" options. The procedure you follow when running FAMEI depends on your computer configuration as discussed in the next section. 2.2 Running on Different Computer Configurations 2.2.1 Hard Drive 2.2.1.1 Initialization If you have a hard disk and want to operate FAME from it, create a subdirectory for the FAME program and copy the files from the FAME PROGRAM disk into the subdirectory. Make that subdirectory the default and then run the FAMEI program. 2.2.1.2 Running on a Hard Drive To run the FAME program, make the FAME subdirectory the default and then enter "FAME". 2.2.2 Floppies 2.2.2.1 Initialization If you do not have a hard disk drive (or want to operate FAME from floppies), place the FAME PROGRAM disk in the default drive and run the FAMEI program. The program will prompt you to enter information about your "floppy" configuration. The NAME.DAT file will be created and put on the FAME program disk. If your floppy disk holds only 360K bytes of data, you will need a second disk to hold the other FAME data files. You will be prompted to place a blank formatted disk in the default drive and continue the FAMEI program. The other four files will be created and stored on this new disk. This disk should be labelled the FAME data disk. 2.2.2.2 Running With One Floppy Disk If all the files are on one floppy disk, make the floppy drive the default, place the FAME PROGRAM disk (with all the data files you have initialized on it) in the drive and enter "FAME." 2.2.2.3 Running With Two Floppy Disks, One Drive If you have two FAME disks (a PROGRAM disk and a DATA disk), place the PROGRAM disk in the drive and enter "FAME." You will be prompted when to replace the FAME PROGRAM disk with the FAME DATA disk. 3. 2.2.2.4 Running With Two Floppy Disks, Two Floppy Drives If you have indicated this configuration when running the FAMEI program, make the "B" drive the default drive. Place the FAME PROGRAM disk in drive "A" and the FAME DATA disk in drive "B". Enter "B:FAME" to run the FAME program. 2.2.3 Exiting FAME Program The PUBAMP6, REMIND, and STAT ".DAT" files are updated immediately when you change them. However, to save running time the POEM6 and PUB ".DAT" files are only updated in the computer RAM until you exit the program, at which time any updated files are automatically written to disk. Therefore exit the program before turning off the computer. 2.3 Upgrading From an Older FAME Version to Version 6.1 If you have been using FAME versions 5.01 or 5.02, you must run the CONV5-1 program and then the CONV6-0 program before you can run FAME version 6.0. If you are using version 5.1, you only need to run the CONV6-0 program. After modifying the data files, you should run the FAMEI program to specify publisher categories that are used by FAME version 6.1. No convert program is needed to upgrade from version 6.0 to 6.1. Take the following steps. If you run FAME from a hard drive, make the hard drive and the FAME subdirectory the defaults. Place the new FAME program disk in drive "a". Then copy the programs from you new FAME disk to the hard drive by entering copy a:*.* Then enter the name of the convert program(s) you want to run. If you run FAME from one or two floppies, make the "a" drive the default. Put the old FAME program disk in the default drive and the new one in drive "b". Then copy the new programs onto your old disk by entering copy b:*.* The "old" program disk is now upgraded for FAME version 6.1 and should continue to be used. (Keep the new FAME disk for backup or to give to friends.) Then enter the name of the convert program you want to run. 3.0 DATABASE UPDATE ROUTINES The first 7 main menu options are used to update the database. The first 5 routines (A through E) are used to input new data and update the data files with respect to poems, publishers, and status. Option F is used to modify or display "reminders". Option G is used to modify certain summary fields generated by FAME as described below. 3.1 General 3.1.1 Entering Data When entering or correcting the name of a poem, the name of a data related to a publisher, use upper and lower case letters as appropriate. This is required because much of this information will appear in the letters written under Query Z. (See Section 4.0). 4. When you are attempting to match the name of a poem or publisher already in the database (either to correct the database or as part of a query), you only need to enter enough letters to make a unique match. In this case you do not have to worry about using upper and lower case letters. Do not enter the word "the" as this word is ignored by the matching routine. If enough letters are not entered to make a unique match, you will be shown each of the possible matches and allowed to select the one you want. 3.1.2 Poem Status The status of each poem and publisher combination can have one of eight values. They are, in order of ascending priorities: Not Submitted, Withdrawn, Rejected, No Response (within a reasonable time), Outstanding (you have submitted the poem), Accepted, and Published. Outstanding is divided into two categories: for publishers who accept simultaneous submissions and those that do not. Entries are initialized to "Not Submitted". When you enter new data or change the current status data, the program automatically calculates an overall status for the poem, based on the priority order listed above. The poem cannot have an overall status of Withdrawn; if the only submission(s) of that poem were withdrawn, the overall status will indicate "Not Submitted." 3.1.3 Additional Status Related Data As you use the FAME program, it automatically generates date and delay data related to a publisher that will appear in response to certain queries (see section 4.0). This data includes for each publisher: 1) the date of the last submission, 2) the date of the last reply, 3) the last delay from submission to reply, and 4) the last delay from acceptance to publication. If you change the status of a poem to Outstanding, the program will check to see if any poems are already outstanding to that publisher. If so, the original submission date will be retained. In a similar way, the program checks to see if a poem is outstanding when you insert a new status indicating a response (Accepted, Published, or Rejected) or enter "No Response" and only change the response date if the poem was previously outstanding. Delays are calculated assuming each month has 30.3 days. If you have a record of this data and wish to enter it directly before the FAME program is able to generate it for you (i.e. when you are just starting to use FAME), use Option G (Modify FAME Generated Publisher Summary Data) to manually enter this data. The program also sets an indicator associated with each publisher to indicate if any poems are outstanding or published with respect to the publisher. 3.2 Poem Data (Options A and B) A new poem is entered using option A. You can enter up to 60 letters for the name of the poem. After you enter the name of a poem, the program will cue you to enter the date(s) it was initially written. You can put in two dates if you want, a beginning date and an end date if the poem was written over an extended period of time. You then can put in the dates for up to 5 revisions of the poem. 5. Use Option B to change the name of a poem, the dates it was written, or to add the date of a new revision (up to 5). Option B also is used to delete a poem from the database. Before deleting the selected poem, the program asks for confirmation on whether to proceed. 3.3 Publisher Data (Options C and D) A new publisher is entered using Option C. You can enter up to 60 letters for the name of the publisher. After you enter the publisher's name, the program will cue you to enter additional data. This includes whether or not the publisher accepts simultaneous submission, comments about the publisher, a contact at the publisher, and the publisher's address. In addition, if you specified any publisher categories during initialization, you can assign any of these to the publisher you are entering. If you do not enter the name of a contact at the publisher, letters the program writes for you (Query Z) will be addressed "Dear Editor." However, if you enter a contact and you want to have the FAME program write letters, you must follow the following format. You must start with "Mr.", "Mrs.", "Ms.", or "Mr. or Ms." and use a first name or at least an initial. If you know a title of the contact (e.g. editor, poetry editor), put a semicolon after the name and then add the title. When using Option Z to print a letter (see Section 4.0), the title will be suppressed in the salutation but included in the address. For example, "Mr. or Ms. T. Jones; Poetry Editor" will be printed as "T. Jones, Poetry Editor" in the address on the letter (note the comma instead of the semicolon), and as "Dear Mr. or Ms. T. Jones" in the salutation. Use Option D to change the name of a publisher or the data associated with it (i.e. if it accepts simultaneous submissions, contact, comments, address, and associated publisher categories). Option F also is used to delete a publisher from the database. Before deleting the selected publisher, the program asks for confirmation on whether to proceed. 3.4 Status Updates (Option E) Option E is used to change the status of a poem with respect to a publisher, the associated date, or the associated revision number of the poem. (Certain status updates will occur automatically when using Option Z to generate certain submission and withdrawal letters.) When you change the status, the date you enter the data (i.e. that day's date) is automatically associated with that status (except for the status of "Not Submitted" which has no associated date). If for some reason you want a different date, use this option again to change the date. The program will offer you congratulations when you change the status of a poem to either "Accepted" or "Published", flash the opening screen star, and play a little music. Each status expect for Not Submitted has associated with it a revision number of the poem or indicates that the status applies to the original version of the poem. When you change the status 6. from Not Submitted to one of the other statuses, the program checks to see if there are revisions to the poem. If so, it associates the latest revision with the status. (If that is not correct, you can change the revision number as described below.) From then on, if the status changes, that revision number or "original" if not a revision is associated with the new status. If there is at least one revision of a poem, Option E also lets you change the revision number associated with the status. 3.5 Reminders (Option F) This option allows you to edit and display "reminders". FAME has an auxiliary database for up to 20 "reminders". Each reminder can have an associated date (not required) and up to 60 characters of text. The reminders are sorted by date, with those with no dates put at the end. You can use the reminders for things like upcoming contests. If there are any reminders in the database, they will be shown before the main menu when you start the program. Selecting Option F will bring up another menu that will allow you to add, change, delete, or display reminders. 3.6 Modifying FAME Generated Publisher Data (Option G) Selection this option brings up the submenu shown in table 3. These suboptions are only needed to correct problems or to enter data, e.g. delay data, relating to events before FAME was used. _____________________________________________________________________ Table 3 Option \ Menu DATA TO ENTER OR CHANGE A --- Date of Last Submission to a Publisher B --- Date of Last Reply From a Publisher C --- Delay From Submission to Last Response For Selected Publisher D --- Last Delay From Acceptance to Publication for Selected Publisher Esc Key - Exit to Main Menu ENTER LETTER OF CHOICE --------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.0 QUERIES 4.1 General The FAME program has an established series of queries that allows you to interact with your database (Options H through Z and 1). All the queries except T, W, Z, and 1 have both a screen and a printer version. The letter for the print version option appears after the "/". The symbol "*" is used on displays and printouts to identify publishers who accept simultaneous submissions. On queries where status is shown, the number of simultaneous submissions of a poem (i.e. the number of publishers for whom the poem is outstanding) is indicated in parenthesis. The date is included on each printout. 7. Except in query H/I where poems are sorted by the dates they were written, all lists will be in alphabetical order, either in its entirety or in some cases for each status category. The word "The" at the beginning of a poem or publisher name is ignored in the alphabetizing process. 4.2 List of Poems (Options H/I and J/K) Options H/I and J/K provide a list of all the poems in the database, plus status and date data. Two lines are provided for each poem containing the following information: poem name, overall status, the date initially written, and the date of each revision (if applicable). For query H/I the poems are ordered by the initial date written (oldest to newest). For query J/K the poems are listed in alphabetical order. After the list of poems sorted by year is shown on Option H/I, a summary indicating the number of poems published each year is shown. This summary is compiled using the initial date a poem was written. 4.3 List of Publishers (Option L/M) After selecting this option, you are given two additional choices. First, if you have defined publisher categories, you are asked if you want to see only those publishers to whom certain categories are assigned. If you answer "yes", then you are shown the list of publisher categories and asked to choose those of interest. Publishers who have been assigned at least one of the selected categories will then be shown. The second choice is whether you want the display/printout to include the comments, contact, address, and categories assigned to each publisher shown. 4.4 Poems Submitted to a Selected Publisher (Option N/O) This query shows the history of all poems that have a status of other than Not Submitted with respect to a selected publisher. For each of these poems, the name of the poem is shown along with the current status and associated date. If there are revisions of the poem, the revision associated with the status or "Original", whichever is applicable, is shown following the name of the poem. The poems are listed by status category, with those published shown first, then those accepted, etc., and alphabetically within each status. On the first page of the display/printout, the related publisher data is shown. The related data includes, if available, the following: categories assigned to this publisher, comments, contact, address, date of last submission, date of last response, delay from submission to last response, and delay from last acceptance to publication. If you have written query or withdrawal letters to the selected publisher using Option Z (see sections 4.11.3 and 4.11.4), this is indicated along with the date of the letter. The data on the query letter about outstanding poems or the associated withdrawal letter because of no response is cleared when you submit a new poem to this publisher (i.e. the next time you enter a status of Outstanding for this publisher). The data on the query letter about poems accepted but not yet published is cleared the next time you enter a status of Published for a poem with respect to this publisher. 8. 4.5 Publishers That Were Sent Selected Poem (Option P/Q) This query shows the history of all publishers for whom the status with respect to the selected poem is other than Not Submitted. For each publisher the current status and associated date is shown. If there are revisions of the poem, the revision associated with the status or "Original", whichever is applicable, is shown preceding the status. The publishers are listed by status category, with those whose status with respect to the poem is published shown first, then accepted, etc., and alphabetically within each status. The date that the poem was initially written and the dates of subsequent revisions (if applicable) is shown on each page of the display/ printout. 4.6 Summary of Poems for Each Status (Option R/S) When this query is selected, you will be shown a subsequent screen listings the 7 possible overall poem statuses and asked to choose the one of interest. If you select the status "Published", the number of poems that have been published and the total number of poems that have been published or accepted will been shown at the end of the display/printout. If you select the status "Accepted", the number of poems that have been accepted will be shown at the end of the display/printout. In addition, if the elapsed time since acceptance is greater than 6 months, the elapsed time also will be shown/printed. 4.7 Status of Selected Poem for Selected Publisher (Option T) This query displays the current status and associated date for a selected poem/publisher pair. 4.8 Publishers for Whom Poems Are Outstanding or Published (Option U/V) This query has two suboptions. Option A lists the publishers for whom poems are outstanding and the associated dates of the submissions. If more than 4 months have elapsed since the submission, the elapsed time also will be shown/printed. You will also be shown if a query letter (Option Z) has been sent and when. Option B lists the publishers who have published any of your poems. 4.9 Overall Status Summary (Option W) This option provides an overall summary of status data. The display is divided into three parts. (Table 4 shows the display for a sample case where there are 120 poems and 162 publishers in the database.) The first part indicates the total number of poems, and the number in each status or group of statuses. The second part shows the total number of publishers, how many have published your poems, and how many have outstanding submissions. The third part shows the date poem/publisher statuses where last updated. If you have updated the file during this use of the FAME program, the time of the most recent previous update is shown. 9. ______________________________________________________________________ Table 4 Status Summary Display O V E R A L L S T A T U S S U M M A R Y TOTAL NUMBER OF POEMS 120 Poems Published 30 Poems Accepted 9 Poems Still Outstanding 33 Poems Rejected/No Response 35 Poems Never Submitted 13 TOTAL NUMBER OF PUBLISHERS 162 Number Who Have Published Poems 19 Number With Outstanding Poems 17 LAST STATUS UPDATE 02-22-1991 Press any key to continue _______________________________________________________________________ 4.10 Candidate Poems and Publishers (Option X/Y) Query X/Y has two suboptions. The first tells you which poems are available for submission to a particular publisher, avoiding duplication or unauthorized simultaneous submissions. The query provides a list of all poems that are not outstanding to another publisher nor have been submitted previously to this one. For publishers who accept simultaneous submissions, the list also includes poems that are outstanding only to publishers accepting simultaneous submissions. On the first page of the display/printout, the related publisher data is shown. The related data includes, if available, the following: categories assigned to this publisher, comments, contact, address, date of last submission, date of last response, delay from submission to last response, and delay from last acceptance to publication. The second X/Y suboption identifies candidate publishers to whom you can submit a poem. You have the option of filtering the list based on publisher categories that you select from the list available. The date the poem was written and the dates of any revisions, if any, are shown. 4.11 Letters Option Z allows you to generate 4 types of letters. The screen that appears when you select this option is shown in table 5. The letters can either be printed or written as an ASCII file that you can personalize with your word processor. The first option before the slash will create an ASCII file of the letter, the option after the slash prints the letter. The name of the ASCII will be A.n where "A" is SUBMIT for option A/B, WITHDRAW for option C/D, QUERY for option 10. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Table 5 Option Z Menu OPTIONS (ASCII File Option Listed First, Print Option after /) A/B - Letter Submitting Poems C/D - Letter Withdrawing Poems Published Elsewhere E/F - Query Letter or Withdrawal Letter Because of No Response G/H - Query Letter for accepted Poem Still Not Published Esc Key - Return to Main Menu Enter Letter of Option ______________________________________________________________________ E/F, and WHENPUB for option G/H. The extension "n" is the internal number the program maintains for that publisher (0 to 161). You will be shown the name of the file so you can make a note of it. Your name, address, and signature block (as entered using FAMEI) and the name and address of the publisher are placed in the appropriate parts of the letter. The FAME program does not select the printing mode for dot matrix printers. For letters, manually select the NLQ mode on your dot matrix printer when you are cued to line up the paper; for query printouts you probably will want to select manually the draft mode. If you have problems printing bold when you running FAME, use the FAMEI program to change your choice to "quotes." (If you are creating an ASCII file, quotes are automatically used even if you selected "Bold" during initialization.) 4.11.1 Submittal Letter The first option (A/B) under Query Z allows you to generate a submittal letter to a selected publisher. You will be asked to identify the poem(s) that you are submitting. They will be included in the text of the letter, and the database will be automatically updated to indicate their status with respect to this publisher is "Outstanding" as of today's date. If applicable, a statement is added to indicate it is a simultaneous submission. The submittal letter can be tailored by having a paragraph inserted about your successes to date. The paragraph must be in ASCII format and in a file called LETTER.TXT that has been placed in the same directory as the FAME data files. A sample paragraph is shown in table 6. A number of standard word processor/editor programs can be used to create this ASCII file. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Table 6 Sample Paragraph My poems have appeared in |Poetry|, |The Paris Review|, |The New Statesman|, |The Anthology of Magazine Verse Yearbook of American Poetry|, and various other magazines. I have forthcoming work in |Crosscurrents|, |Raccoon|, and several anthologies. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 11. You will notice the symbol |. When you run the FAMEI program, you will be asked if you want to bold the names of publications or insert them in quotes. The symbol | is used to indicate the beginning and end of the bolding you want used in the paragraph. If you do not want to bold the names of publications, then this symbol is not required; use quotes in the normal way. When using option Z, if you choose to create an ASCII file of the letter rather than print the letter, quotes will be used in the letter ASCII file in place of the | symbol. You do not have to worry about margins in the paragraph you are adding. The FAME program will make them consistent with the rest of the letter. 4.11.2. Withdrawal Letter For Simultaneously Submitted Poems Published Elsewhere The second option under Query Z (C/D) will generate a letter withdrawing one or more poems because they have been accepted by another publisher. First you enter all the poems that have just been published. FAME then will identify for you each publisher, one at a time in alphabetical order, to whom one or more of those poems is outstanding. You will be asked each time if you want to send that publisher a withdrawal letter. If you answer "yes", the first part of the letter withdrawing the subset of recently published poems that previously had been submitted to that publisher will be written. You will next be told how many poems are still outstanding to the publisher, and asked if you want to submit additional poems as replacements. If so, you will be given the option of viewing candidate poems. If you choose this option, the program will switch to option X, show you the candidate poems, and then switch back to Option Z to let you finish the letter. You then will be asked to enter the additional poems that you want to submit (if any). The status of all poems you withdrawn and any new ones you submit will be changed in the database to reflect their new status. 4.11.3 Query or Withdrawal Letter Because of "No Response" This query (E/F) under Option Z will show you the date that poems were submitted and will tell you if you have already sent a query letter using this option (and the date of the query letter.) You then can choose to send a query letter asking the status of the submission because no response has been received, send another query letter (if one was previously sent), or withdraw the poems. If you choose to send a query letter and have already sent one, this fact and the date of that letter will be included in the letter. If you decide it send a withdrawal letter, the status of all poems to this publisher will be changed to "Withdrawn". 4.11.4 Query About Accepted Poems Still Not Published This query (G/H) will generate a letter asking about a poem(s) that was accepted by the publisher but has not been published by the expected date. This query will show you the date that poem(s) were accepted and will tell you if you have already sent a query letter using this option (and the date of the query letter.) You then can choose to send a query letter asking when the poem(s) will be published or a another query letter if one was previously sent using this query. 12. 4.12 Publisher Label File (Option 1) The option allows you to create an ASCII file containing each publisher's name, contact, and address. This file is in the format that can be used by a number of standard programs to print labels. Beacause of the was commas are treated in these type of programs (i.e. to separate data fields), any commas in the address data are replaced by blanks in the created file. The name of the file is ADDRESS.DAT. 5.0 AUTHORIZATION TO USE FAME The FAME program is shareware.
