By Silas Brown This very technical article gives
anyone with the will the information
required to write what would be a very
useful program.
Silas has had the idea of using a "Hot
Key" to toggle between a program and
the text that accompanies it.
Can any member use the info in this
article to write the suggested program?
I wrote this program for a local DJ who
had a large number of singles that he
wanted to keep tabs on. This is the
info for the database.

Use: One liner entries for judging.
Program name: 1Liners
Associated program/file/s: none
Language: Basic.
I have compiled this program of all the
one liners sent to me. Please look
through it and decide which one liner
you like the most. Then choose a runner
up. When you are about to send me your
disc for the next issue, copy the
program "1Liners" onto that disc and
RUN it. Use the VOTE option and follow
the prompts. A data file will be saved
to disc which I will use to work out
who is the winner. The winner and
runner up will have a free choice of 5
discs from the TBI pool (disc and
postage supplied).
Please refer to the program
documentation article for further info
