These programs are BBC only and will
not work on a Master.
K2B has sent us this collection of
Wordwise+ utilities. There are 10 short
files. I have compacted them using the
archiver into one file called
"WW+Arch". You will need to copy this
file and the dearchiver "Dearch" onto a
blank disc. Run the dearchiver and wait
a short while. Set the disc up by
typing *OPT 4 3. Now follow the
instructions sent by K2B.
THE WORDWISE DISK FILES:- The !Boot file auto-loads seven
W/wise Segment programs, AUTOOFF,
CSKEYS & C&SFN.
'AUTOOFF' turns off the screen
display if the keyboard is not used
for 5 minutes. It helps reduce screen
'burn' when the computer is on but not
being used for a while. Screen
display is returned by pressing any
key.
'CSKEYS' defines 2 tiers of the
red function keys. Use CONTROL+f/key
for 1 tier, and with SHIFT+SHIFT
LOCK+f/key for the other tier.
'C&SFN' defines another tier of
the red function keys - this time
with CONTROL+SHIFT+f/key.
WORDWISE SEGMENT PROGRAMS I've created a number of useful
mini programs - S0 to S6 that make life
easier! An explanation follows:-
(a) SHIFT+f0 - use when in Edit or
typing mode. A frequent mistake is
to transpose two letters, eg Daer
for Dear. To simply correct this, place
cursor under the letter on the right
(the e in our example) then press
SHIFT+f0 and watch them swap places!
(b) SHIFT+f1 - use in Menu
mode. You may sometimes need to print
more than one copy of a file. This
is simply done by pressing SHIFT+f1
and responding with the number of
copies required. No need to select 6
from Main Menu, so make sure
document has correct printer codes,
and printer is ready first!
(c) SHIFT+f2 - use in Menu mode.
To print text, first select either
draft or NLQ print style, by pressing
SHIFT+f2. This asks which you want -
press D or N. Ensure printer & paper
are ready as no need to use option 6
from Main Menu. To use this facility,
you MUST have the command ESB% at top
of your text.
(d) SHIFT+f3 - use in Menu mode to
see disk catalogue and load a file
or not. Cursor is designed to be
positioned ready for me to type the
date on my standard letter form when
loaded.
(e) SHIFT+f4 - use in Menu mode
after completely finishing with
current text, before loading in, or
typing a new file. It deletes the
entire text in one go.
(f) SHIFT+f5 - use in Edit or Menu
mode to remove part of text.
Position cursor at point where any
following text is to be deleted, and
all text from there to bottom will be
deleted.
(g) SHIFT+f6 - used in Menu mode,
this is for the odd occasion when you
have a really long file, and use up
available memory. To create more, you
can clear ALL the segments by
pressing SHIFT+f6. The program
firstly saves your precious text to
disk under the name 'text'. Then clears
all memory. Simply re-load the file, by
pressing SHIFT+f3 and giving the name
text.
By C.J.Richardson. This program will split up a text file
into smaller more manageable files.
Input the name of the file to be split.
The program will split the file into
new files numbered from 1 upwards to a
size determined by you.
The new files can then be loaded into
your text editor.
By C.J.Richardson. The 8BS PD catalogue is growing. Up to
now printout from the catalogue program
has been in line lengths of 33, the
same as the display on the screen.
With additions in the pipeline, the
catalogue will soon be too large to
print out in the form of a small
booklet, handy though I find it.
In preparation for the imminent event,
I have written a program that will
print out the catalogue to fanfold
paper or single sheets, on one or two
sides of the paper. The printout is in
80 column format with headings
underlined.
The program asks whether you want to
print on 1 or both sides of the paper.
If 1 is chosen, the catalogue pages are
printed out in order, ie 1 2 3 4 etc.
If both sides are chosen, then the
catalogue is printed out first in odd
numbered pages. The program then waits
while you turn the paper around. The
even numbered pages are then printed
out.
There is an option to print more than
one catalogue.
There is also an option to send the
data to the screen only. I included
this option to debug the program and
decided to leave it in as it provides
a quick scan of the catalogue.
The data that the program uses is
exactly the same data that the program
"ReadCat" uses. The file on this disc
is the latest 8BS PD catalogue.
If you experience problems with
printout especially in the area of
the headings, it may be something to do
with the underline printer command.
These can be removed deleting lines 820
850 1100 and 1120.
