A word from Gene...
What follows is NOT a plea for your pity, but the honest facts. I am a
person disabled with Multiple Sclerosis. I want to suppliment my meager
fixed income ( which typically runs out the 3rd week of the month) by
writing software distributed as shareware to keep costs down.
Now, I know that among all the types of sharware that's available, this type
(information) is probably the hardest to get paid for.
I really hope you will seriously consider registering this program as it
represents many, many hours of research on my part. Your registration
(donation?) is the way I have chosen to attempt to augment my income.
I plan to publish many different DISKREFS. Other shareware I have out is
T-FIG, an interactive Telix Tutor program that runs within Telix (it may be
found on bulliten boards under the name of TFxxx.ZIP, where xxx represents
the version of Telix covered - Example: TF312.ZIP.), and SHIFNSHO (sometimes
named SHIFTKEY). SHIFNSHO is really two programs. One is SHIFTKY,COM, a
program that "remembers" that a shift (Ctrl, Alt, Shift) key was pressed and
acts like it being held down until the next key is pressed. Great for those
who can type using only one hand. The other program included is SHOWCAP.COM.
All it does is change the cursor from a line to a block when the CapsLock key
is engaged. Keeps THIS FROM HAPPENING...
All DISKREFS are only $15.00. You would pay at least twice that much for a
how-to book at a bookstore...if you could find one. Then you'd have to hold
your place while trying to use the index. DISKREFS can be popped up any
time, and it even "remembers to insert a bookmark where you were reading!
So, please consider sending $15.00.
Traditionally. something extra is offered for those who register. Not being
one to break tradition, I'll offer a very well put together index file to
those who send in their $15.00. The index file lists virtually EVERYthing
you might want to look up (by name, of course) and tell you what file(s)
it's in. Not only that, but you can jump direcctly to it from the index.
DISKREFS Specifications
=======================
DISKREFS is an easy-to-learn, memory resident system. It makes hypertext
jumps to ASCII files, using links found in ASCII files or displayed on the
screen by other programs.
The specifications of DISKREFS are:
Program size: 16065 bytes (HyperRez on disk)
Installed size: 59680 bytes (for program, text, and links)
ASCII file size: Maximum size in 20K (set by text buffer)
Maximum recall: Remembers Right-arrow jumps 64 levels deep
Essential files for running the program:
Program: HR.EXE (HyperRez program)
Title ASCII file: START.TXT
HyperRez F1 file: HELP.TXT
Instructions: READ.ME...this file!
Directory Instructions:
If you are running DISKREFS on a hard disk, copy all the files into a
separate directory. Always load the DISKREFS program from this directory.
If you know how to write batch files, that's pretty easy to add.
Loading HyperRez instruction:
At the DOS prompt (in the HyperRez directory), type HR to install the program
in memory. After it loads, hold the Ctrl key down and depress the Backspace
(<-) key.
Operations:
Press Ctrl-Backspace to active the program
Press Arrow keys to operate the program
Press F1 key for help
Press ESC to terminate the program
Memory-resident conflicts:
Because the HyperRez program makes no stack calls, it is unaffected by the
loading sequence or memory location of other programs.
Easy, wasn't it? I will try to make all the DISKREF programs this easy to
use..
One item to remember is that HR.EXE whould be unloaded from memory in the
reverse order that it was installed. That means, if you load HR.EXE before
you load another program, then unload it after you unload that program.
