- ==> WO <==
- ~~~~
-
- Dear english readers:
-
- Sorry, but my english is not as good as my german.
- I've tried to translate the original german doc-file into english.
- But I fear there will be more fit of laughter than understanding.
-
- "WO" (where) is a short and quick utility, which helps you to bring
- order in your addresses and (this is proper the only important feature)
- codes them and saves them (password-encoded) on disc.
-
- Start the program by double-clicking its WorkBench(TM) icon or enter
- <wo filename> in CLI(TM).
-
- Now you see the main-window, displaying one text-gadget, some click-gadgets,
- a little timer-clock (surely not necessary, but I knew how to program it,
- and therefore I included it) and a few other things.
-
- At the same time, there appears another window: time for you to go to work
- and enter the file to load. (This disc contains - I hope so - a little
- demo-file with 35 ficitious addresses) to play with.
-
- If you don't want to load a file , just click "Cancel".
-
- IMPORTANT:
- ~~~~~~~~~~
- To use the list function there must be at least ONE address-record.
- (Without records you cannot show a list of records, got it ?).
-
- Some functions ("del", "edit", "print") need an activated record;
- that means: list the available records by clicking the list-gadget,
- click one term in the list-window, leave list-window by clicking RIGHT
- mouse button). The corresponding address is shown in the main-window.
-
- List:
- ~~~~~
- Shows you (in alphabetical order) all present tracing terms. (Oh, my english).
- Leave window by clicking RIGHT mouse-button.
-
-
- Input:
- ~~~~~~
- Enter new records.
-
- A record is complete, when you enter (at least) <return> in every field.
- Leave input-window by clicking the close-gadget.
-
-
- Edit:
- ~~~~~
- Edit present record.
-
- You only have to <enter> until the field, you wanted to edit, not through
- all the fields.
- Leave edit-window by clicking the close-gadget.
-
-
- Open:
- ~~~~~
- Load an address-file.
-
- (default is "wo.file")
- Enter password to load a coded file.
- Enter <return> or click "Yo" to load a non-coded file (like the demo-file).
- Enter wrong password to live to see a reset.
-
- If the file has been loaded, you see the number of records in the
- main-window. Now click any option.
-
- If there's a new or edited current file, which hasn' been saved yet, "WO"
- requests, whether save it or not.
-
-
- Save:
- ~~~~~
- Save an address-file.
-
- Enter name, under which you want to save the current file.
- Enter password to code your addresses.
- Enter no password (just <return> or just click "Yo" to save file
- without coding it, so that every sucker can examine your addresses.
-
- Check (just for fun) with a text-editor, if you're satisfied with the
- coding-result. (I bet you are !)
-
-
- Print:
- ~~~~~~
- Print active address.
-
- "WO" checks, whether there is a printer online or not, so don't worry
- and simply click it.
-
- I don't know much about other printers and configurations but mine
- (Star LC24-10, A500 1,5MB); I have no problems printing my addresses.
-
-
- New:
- ~~~~
- Erase all records.
-
- Attention: This function deletes (after a request) ALL records.
- Save file before beginning a new one.
-
-
- Del:
- ~~~~
- Deletes activated record.
-
-
- Cancel:
- ~~~~~~~
- Exit.
-
-
- Further Information:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Press F1-key to activate the text-gadget in the main-window.
- There you can enter a tracing-term as well. Sometimes it might be
- faster than going the wide, wide way through the list-window.
-
-
- For Programers:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- The source does NOT contain the routine to code and re-code a file.
- Sorry for that, but I didn't know, if it is possible to calculate
- the original file from a coded one, if the code-routine is available.
-
- I know, the code could be much more efficient. But It works (most the time).
-
- An update (f.e. with file-requester) will probably be released soon.
-
- Have fun !
