- TOPIC : I2LIB program for changing IMP phone numbers
-
- FROM : Irv Hoff

- DATE : 17 July 85
-
-
- I2LIB permits the user to quickly and very easily change the tele-
- phone numbers in the IMP phone library. It automatically locates the
- phone library, displays it and then (after asking it if looks normal)
- shows a command line:
-
-
- CTL-C abort, <C>hange, <D>elete, <P>rint lib, <R>ead, <S>ave :
-
-
- To change or alter any line (such as the "F" line), you would
- then type:
-
-
- CTL-C abort, <C>hange, <D>elete, <P>rint lib, <R>ead, <S>ave : CF
-
-
- The "C" would select "Change" and the "F" selects the line to
- be changed.
-
- This same technique would be used to delete any line that is no
- longer needed. Using "DH" for example leaves the "D=" but
- clears the rest of the line.
-
-
- Whenever you change any line, you must go completely to the last
- column prior to the < at which time the new line is then added
- automatically and the new listing displayed. This sets a flag
- so if you hit CTL-C to abort it will ask if you want to update
- the file or abort with no changes. You use "S" to save the file
- to disk when finished with any changes.

-
- USING THE PROGRAM:
- -----------------
-
- This program works directly with the IMP object code .COM file.
-
-
- EXAMPLES: A>I2LIB IMP.COM <ret> (1)
- A>I2LIB B:IMP.COM <ret> (2)
- B>A:I2LIB IMP.COM <ret> (3)
- A>I2LIB IMP.COM ABC.COM (4)
- B>A:I2LIB B:IMP.COM C:ABC.COM (5)
-
- 1) works only with the original file, altering it
- 2) the file can be on any selected disk
- 3) similar to (2) but I2LIB.COM is on another disk
- 4) if a 2nd file is named, it receives the changes
- 5) any of the files can be on any selected disk
-
- NOTE: Using I2LIB.COM to alter the telephone number library is
- surprisingly simple and fast. It does not however allow
- setting or resetting codes for SPRINT, MCI, etc. To do
- that you would use I2NM-n.ASM
