- XMAS.EXE electric Card by Bill Buckels Registration 5.00
- OTHR SE90 BUCKELS XMAS THE TINY ELECTRIC CHRISTMAS CARD
- FILES: xmas-etc.sdn
-
-
-
- The Electric Christmas Card Kit is Contains a Christmas Card
- program called XMAS.EXE which allows a custom signature to
- be added to itself (a musical Christmas Card).
-
- This Program is intended to be distributed like any other
- Christmas Card.
-
- The Kit also contains a Compiler Module which replaces the
- greeting already in XMAS.EXE with a personal signature.
-
- The Compiler Module is Called MAKECARD.EXE and requires XMAS
- EXE in the current directory.
-
- Usage is pretty straight forward, and if you want several
- different Christmas cards all you need to do is to copy them
- after processing to whatever name suits your fancy.
-
- Makecard creates .BAK files just to be on the SAFE side.
-
- I have included the C language Source Code. ( I translated
- this from an old GWBASIC public domain program with minor
- modifications. The C program is only 12k and is a whole lot
- tinier an EXE than the BASIC VERSION compiled to.)
-
- Remember that if you are going to MODIFY the C Source Code,
- You Will Likely Need to rewrite the MAKECARD.EXE since the
- signature will be relocated and MAKECARD will not find it in
- the new program.

-
- As an afterthought I have also included a text-graphics
- musical "DUDELBUG" called DUDEL.EXE which is internally
- documented by pressing F1 for help at any point. Bsaved Text
- screens (like those created in THEDRAW or GWBASIC ) can be
- loaded into DUDEL to give the young user a background, and
- a quicksave feature allows the masterpieces to be saved for
- later recall. This one's noisy (F2 toggles the sound)but the
- kids like drawing in time to the music.
-
- This might make a reasonable stocking stuffer.
- (C language source is also included)
-
- And I have also also included (he he) a Memory Resident Text
- Screen Capture Utility Called GRABTEXT.EXE which will allow
- one to roam around and COPY 80-column text screens out of
- various programs to be EDITTED and resaved (in DUDEL or any
- other editor that accepts the .BSV format. A tiny BASIC prog
- is also included to show how to reuse these screens in BASIC
-
- Hardware Requirements: IBM PC or Compat
- Display Requirements : CGA or MONO
- Other Requirements : The Christmas Spirit
