^3@1 SPARX'S DISK LISTER.@
^1{6 Contributed by SPARX.{
^1"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
^2 This program has been hiding away on disk for a whole year. It's
^2about time it had the dust blown off it!
^7 It was written just after we had[2 AMOS[0 so the coding is a bit
^7primitive, as it is the first program I completed. Still, it works
^7fine, and it gives you something to play around with.
^2 The program is a little utility to organise your collection of
^2disks. It is easy to use, and will take about 1,000 records before
^2you need to alter the coding.
^7 So if your disks are in a mess, and you can never find the program
^7you need, number your collection, and get typing!!! (We use the tiny
^7self adhesive circles available from most stationers stuck onto the
^7corner of the disk to number ours.)
^4 Disk lister allows you to enter the disk number, program name, and a
^4comment.
^1 To start a catalogue, click on the^2[2 <ADD>[0^1 button, which will then
^1turn red. A^2 ?^1 will appear in the edit box, type in the disk number,
^1the program name, and comment, then tthe disk number blanks off ready
^1for the next record. Keep doing this until all are entered, when
^1you've finished, press[2 <RETURN>[0 while the^2 ?^1 is on the disk number,
^1the[2 <ADD>[0 button then turns to white again. When you press[2 <RETURN>[0
^1to finish adding data, only te last record will be visible, to see
^1the rest, use the arrow buttons on the right of the screen.
^6 To change a record or to delete one, highlight your choice by
^6clicking on it in your list, it will appear in the edit box. To
^6delete it, for example, click on [2<DELETE>.[0
^1 The records can be sorted using the[2 <SORT>[0 button. You have a choice
^1of three types of sort.
^41. By disk number.
^42. By program name.
^43. By comment.
^6 Make your choice by clicking on one of the small buttons which will
^6highlight in red. ^2`N'^6 - number, ^2`P'^6 - program name, ^2`C'^6 - comment.
^6Then click on [2<SORT>[0 to sort the file.
^1 You can search for a disk record using the number, program name or
^1comment by entering it in the edit box, then clicking on[2 <SEARCH>.[0
^1You don't need to input the whole name as every occuance will be
^1found for you. To exit the search, press [2<RETURN>.[0
^4 [2<LOAD>[0 and [2<SAVE>[0 do just that!!
^6 There are a couple of functions which are controlled with the[1 right[0
^6[1mouse button on the top menu bar.[0
^6 From left to right these are:-
^1[2 QUIT[0 Disk Lister
^1 [2ABOUT[0 Disk Lister
^1 [2HELP[0 with Disk Lister. This gives a brief description of how to use
the program.
^5 The program has been tested with up to 1,000 records. As a pure Amos
^5program it runs well, but gets sluggish when lots of records are
^5added. There is a compiled version on the disk as well, and this runs
^5well after filling with records.
^4 Disk Lister will probably hold more than 1,000 entries. If needed,
^4change Dim D$ statement in the listing. You will have to be carefull
^4not to create an out of memory problem, so it migt be better to have
^4two smaller files than one massive one.
^1 This is a very basic looking program, if you would like a better
^1one, drop us a line, and if there is enough interest, I'll do a new
^1Disk Lister in the style of Workbench 2.
