DB.OPL - Written on and for a PSION Model XP
============================================
Allows records to be stripped out of "A:MAIN", by a search literal
which can be embedded in any one of the first 10 "fields" per record.
Program only handles up to 10 fields per input record as coded.
As records are selected from "A:MAIN", they are written to "A:DBX"
and reformatted such that each field in the selected record is
written as a separate record to "A:DBX". Further, all records
created from one record in "A:MAIN" have two space characters (blanks)
inserted at their beginning, except the first.
This programs intention was one way to overcome the way a PSION file
looks on your PC when you view it. On the PSION, the "fields" in the
records are separted by TAB characters, so on the PC, every PSION
record stretchs across one line. After "A:MAIN" is run through this
program (you can select all records by using a NULL search target)
and the resultant "A:DBX" is uploaded to the PC, the data is in a more
conventional format, especially when the "A:MAIN" file has name and
phone number information.
My use is that I always have the PSION at work and travel and use it
as the sole manager/aupdater of my name, address, and phone info.
Periodically, I run "DB.OPL" and upload "A:DBX" to my PC. When in the
office, I always have this file in a Windows Notepad available for
quick search.
DBD.OPL - Written on and for a PSION Model XP
=============================================
Companion program for "DB.OPL". Displays the "header" (first) field
of every record found in "A:DBX"
LOCK.OPL - Written on and for a PSION Model XP
==============================================
Enhanced version of the one in the "PSION ORGANISER II" manual on
page 151. Be careful with this one, if you forget the PASSWORD
it's pull the batteries time, and all data and programs except what
came with it are history. This program cannot be "broken" out of.
Test for PASSWORD is CASE SENSITIVE. You have to code your PASSWORD
in and re-translate it. Just change the literal "MADDOG" up in the
"IF E$=" statement.
An improper PASSWORD entry results in a rather long annoying noise
which you can alter or get rid of, the "BEEP 9999,500" statement.
Proper sign-in displays a date and time.
JUL.OPL - Written on and for a PSION Model XP
=============================================
Quick and dirty JULIAN DATE display program.
BEEPER.OPL - Written on and for a PSION Model XP
================================================
Noisemaker routine called from some of the other programs in this group,
like "DB.OPL", "DELF.OPL".
DELF.OPL - Written on and for a PSION Model XP
==============================================
Used to delete files on the PSION XP. Can be used to delete "A:DBX"
created by "DB.OPL" when you're through with it.
FILES.OPL - Written on and for a PSION Model XP
===============================================
Displays all data files on device "A:".
MI.OPL - Written on and for a PSION Model XP
============================================
Accepts input file name and then displays total available memory
in the XP, in bytes, and the following info about the specified file:
number of records
number of total bytes
average record size
maximum record size
first field of largest record
I use it against "A:MAIN" to see how much memory is available for a
run of "DB.OPL", and how many records "DB.OPL" has to work against,
and after a run of "DB.OPL", how many records it created (to check
against a PC upload).
MUTE.OPL - Written on and for a PSION Model XP
==============================================
Toggles the key-click on and off. From the "PSION ORGANISER II" manual.
Caution, if "key click" is off, any alarms or appointment reminders set
in DIARY will be silent.
PEEK.OPL - Written on and for a PSION Model XP
==============================================
Accepts a starting and ending memory location, in decimal, and then
displays that range of memory in ASCII (where possible) and HEX right
underneath. Non-display ASCII values display as "?".
ZM.OPL - Written on and for a PSION Model XP
============================================
Displays the value for each of the ten internal "calculator" memory
registers and zeroes them out. Many of the programs use these registers
as run time variables (but initialize them first anyways). I use this as
a debugging aid when testing new programs.
