- CREDIT CARD SECURITY.DOC
- Version 3.0
-
- Almost everyone has at least one bank, department store, and gasoline
- credit card. But what if you should lose your credit cards through
- theft or damage. Do you know where to write to notify the credit
- card company? Do you know where all of those papers that
- came with your cards are? Probably not.
-
- You can pay to have a private company notify all those credit card companies,
- or you can have your PC keep track of your cards for you.
-
- Credit Card Security is a simple menu operated, data handling program
- that uses sequential files to store credit card information. And should
- the need arise, the program prints out a form letter to each of the
- credit card companies that you designate, notifying them of the loss,
- and requesting a replacement card.
-
- Each time the program is run you will be asked for the Drive and Path
- for the program to search for your data file. This file will be made by
- the program when you first enter your credit card information. The
- program will name the file CREDCARD.DAT.
-
- ENTERING DRIVE and PATH NAMES
-
- If you are using a floppy disk to store your data, you would enter A: or B:;
- depending on which drive you have your data disk in. If you have your data in a
- directory on the floppy, other than the one that the credit card program is in
- then enter the sub-directory name followed by a back slash. Example:
- B:\CREDCARD\. If you are using a hard drive, and your data file is in the same
- directory as the credit card program, then enter only the drive letter and a
- semi-colon (Example: C:). If your data is in a different directory other then
- the one that the program is in, then enter the drive and path name followed by a
- back slash (Example: C:\CREDCARD\).
-
- The program has six selections. The first selection displays the names, account
- numbers, and expiration dates of the cards, and displays them on your screen or
- prints them to your printer. Be sure that your printer is designated as LPT1.
- You should make at least one hard copy for your records. If this is the first
- time that you are using the program, then you should start with selection number
- two; and enter your data. When displaying the file, the program will stop after
- every 10 entries, so that none of the entries will scroll off of the screen.
- press ENTER to display the next group of entries.
-
- The second selection lets you add additional credit cards to your file
- or create a new file. The program is set up to receive up to 50
- entries. You'll be prompted for the name , account number, expiration
- date, and the mailing address to write to in case your cards are lost
- or damaged. When you have finished entering each entry, you'll be asked
- to verify the information. Enter 'end' or 'END' at the credit card name
- prompt to exit. The file will then be written to the drive and path that
- you specified. If you are adding to an existing file, the data will be
- appended to the existing file.
-
- The third selection requires that you have a printer attached as LPT1
- to your PC. The program will display the name of each credit card that
- it has on file, and as each is displayed, you're asked if you want that
- company notified. If your answer is no, the next card name is shown. If
- your answer is yes, you'll be asked if the card was lost or destroyed.
- The program will then print a form letter to that company, notifying
- them of the lost or damage and requesting a new card. After the letter
- is printed, the program will display the name of the next credit card
- on file and the process will repeat until all the letters you want have
- been printed.
-
- The forth selection, allows you to delete a card that you have on file.
- You will be asked to enter the name of the card exactly as it was
- entered into the file. If you are not sure how you entered it, you
- should either make a hard copy of all of your cards, or display them
- first on your monitor. Use selection 1 for either of these. If the pro
- gram finds a match in your file, it will display the card name, account
- number, and expiration date on your monitor. You are then asked if this
- is the card that you want to delete. If it is the enter 'Y' or 'y'. If
- not, then enter 'N' or 'n'. If you answer yes the card will be deleted
- and the program will overwrite your existing file with a new file of
- the same name.
-
- The fifth selection allows you to encode or decode your data file. Option one
- will encode the file using a number between 1 and 254. You can not use the
- number 13 because under certain conditions it encodes a carriage return as an
- end of file marker, thus preventing you from decoding the entire file. Don't
- worry because the program is setup to trap the number 13 if you enter it as a
- code number, and prompts you to enter another number. Be sure that you write
- the number that you use to encode the file down, and keep it in a safe place,
- because you will need to re-enter this number in order to be able to decode the
- file. The encode file will have the name CREDCARD.ENC, and after it is created,
- you will be asked if you want to delete the uncoded (CREDCARD.DAT) file.
-
- Option two will decode the CREDCARD.ENC file back to CREDCARD.DAT. When prompted
- to do so enter the number that you used to encode the file. After the file is
- decoded you are asked if you want to delete the encode (CREDCARD.ENC) file.
- Remember that if you have encoded the file, you must encode the file before you
- can use the rest of the program.
-
- The third option will return you to the main menu of the program.
-
- The sixth selection will allow you to exit the program.
