VINCENT D N 1 SHREVEPORT, LOUISIANA 71108 D N 1 38, MARRIED, 2 SONS 4 AND 8 YEARS OLD D N 1 IBM COBOL APPLICATIONS BACKGROUND D N N I'VE PICKED UP A LITTLE APPLESOFT BASIC D N N BUT KNOW LITTLE ABOUT ASSEMBLER, HI-RES D N 1 DOS AND THAT KIND OF STUFF. D N 1 WE WILL LEARN TOGETHER. D N N I'M INTERESTED IN FILE STRUCTURES, D N N LEARNING ALGORITHMS AND COMPUTER D N 1 SIMULATIONS. R 0 0 1 724 D H 1 -- HARVEST ... POKE & PEEK -- D N N POKE.NAME AND PEEK.NAME ALLOW YOU TO D N N DO THE SAME THING WITH ANY STRING THAT D N 1 YOU DID WITH A DATE. D N 1 THESE ARE VERY USEFUL TRICKS. R 0 0 1 515 D H 1 -- HARVEST ... REMINDER.SYSTEM -- D N N THE PREFERRED PLAN IS THAT YOU RUN THE D N N REMINDER SYSTEM EVERY MORNING TO GET D N N YOUR REMINDERS FOR THE DAY. HOWEVER, D N N IF YOU MISS SOME DAYS OR WISH TO RUN D N N THE SYSTEM WEEKLY, THE REMINDER SYSTEM D N N WILL FORGIVE YOU. IT WILL CATCH YOU D N 1 UP ON PAST DUE REMINDERS. D N N YOU SHOULD CARRY YOUR REMINDERS IN YOUR D N N POCKET AND WRITE NOTES TO YOURSELF ON D N N THEM. THEN IF YOU FILE THEM AWAY D N N REGULARLY YOU WILL HAVE A DIARY AS WELL D N 1 AS A REMINDER SYSTEM. D N N TO START UP THE REMINDER SYSTEM -- D N 1 RUN REMLO R 0 0 1 731 D H 1 -- HARVEST ... DATA.BASE.SYSTEM -- D N N AFTER THE DATABASE FILE HAS BEEN D N 1 DEFINED, IT MUST THEN BE CREATED. D N N TO CREATE THE DATABASE FILE CHOOSE D N N THE FILE MAINT OPTION FROM THE MENU. D N N IT WILL LOOK FOR THE FILE YOU NAME AND D N N TELL YOU IT WAS NOT FOUND. THEN IT D N 1 WILL ASK YOU IF YOU WANT TO CREATE IT. D N N ONCE THE FILE IS CREATED EVERYTHING D N 1 ELSE IS DOWN HILL (HA HA). D N N TRY IT OUT. I WILL SUPPLY PLENTY HELP D N 1 IN FUTURE ISSUES OF SOFTDISK. D N N THERE WILL BE A SKELETON PROGRAM TO D N 1 LET YOU READ YOUR RECORDS IN KEY ORDER. R 0 0 1 515 D H 1 -- THUMBNAIL -- D N N IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO EXPOSE YOURSELF IN D N N THUMBNAIL, TAKE THE V OPTION OFF OF D N 2 THIS SCREEN. D N 1 1 = REPEAT THUMBNAIL D N 1 2 = MENU R 0 0 2 250 99 D H 1 --HARVEST ... REMINDER.SYSTEM -- D N N REMLO WILL PRESENT YOU WITH A MENU. D N 1 FROM THERE ON YOU'RE IN BUSINESS. D N N THERE ARE THREE PROGRAMS AND A TEXT D N N FILE. D N N A REMLO D N N A REMFM (FILE MAINT.) D N N A REMPRT (PRINTS REMINDERS) D N 1 T REMINDER (TEXT FILE) D N N REMINDER IS A KEYED FILE. D N N THE KEY IS TARGET-DATE. D N N TARGET-DATE IS MADE UP OF 4 PARTS D N N 1. YEAR (2 DIGITS) D N N 2. MONTH (2 DIGITS) D N N 3. DAY (2 DIGITS) D N N 4. SUFFIX (3 DIGITS) D N N THE SUFFIX IS ASSIGNED RANDOMLY AND D N N ALLOWS YOU TO ENTER MORE THAN ONE D N N REMINDER WITH THE SAME TARGET-DATE. R 0 0 1 751 D H 1 -- HARVEST... REMINDER.SYSTEM -- D N N THE MOST CRUCIAL DATA FIELD IN A D N 1 REMINDER RECORD IS NAMED FREQUENCY. D N N THE DATA YOU MAY PUT IN THE FREQUENCY D N N FIELD IS LIMITED TO CERTAIN VALID D N N VALUES -- S = SPECIFIC DATE D N N D = DAILY D N N W = WEEKLY D N N B = BI-MONTHLY D N N M = MONTHLY D N N E = EVERY OTHER MONTH D N N Q = QUARTERLY D N N T = TWICE A YEAR D N N A = ANNUAL D N N 1TU = FIRST TUESDAY D N N 3FR = THIRD FRIDAY D N 1 ETC. R 0 0 1 769 D H 1 -- HARVEST ...REMINDER.SYSTEM -- D N N IF YOU SPECIFY FREQUENCY = S FOR D N N SPECIFIC DATE-- D N N THEN THAT REMINDER RECORD WILL D N N PRINT ON THE TARGET DATE OF D N N THAT PARTICULAR REMINDER RECORD D N N NOTE: D N N SPECIFIC DATE REMINDER RECORDS D N N AUTOMATICALLY DELETE AFTER THEIR D N 1 TARGET DATE HAS PASSED. D N N ALL OTHER FREQUENCY VALUES ARE PERIODIC D N 1 IN NATURE. D N N REMINDERS WITH A PERIODIC FREQUENCY D N N CONTINUE TO POP UP AT THE INTERVAL D N N SPECIFIED BY THE VALUE OF THEIR D N 1 FREQUENCY DATA FIELD. R 0 0 1 786 D H 1 -- HARVEST ... REMINDER.SYSTEM -- D N N OTHER FIELDS OF INTEREST ARE THE PRIOR D N 1 AND AFTER FIELDS. D N N THEY PERMIT YOU TO BE REMINDED PRIOR D N 1 TO AND AFTER AN EVENT. D N N AS WITH ALL SYSTEMS, YOUR BEST HEDGE D N N AGAINST LOST DATA IS TO HAVE A RECENT D N N BACKUP COPY OF THE SYSTEM ON A SEPARATE D N 1 DISKETTE. D N N COPYA FROM DOS 3.3 SYSTEM MASTER WILL D N 1 TAKE CARE OF THAT. D N 1 -- GOOD LUCK -- R 0 0 1 515 800 JOHN DOE 801 100 YOUR STREET 0 YOUR.CITY, YOUR.STATE 00000
