ABOUT THE ALL BASIC CODE ARCHIVES --------------------------------- The All BASIC Code (ABC) Archives contains hundreds of BASIC source codes ranging from ASIC/LibertyBASIC/QB/QBasic/PDS/PowerBASIC/VBDOS/VBWIN, and various other BASIC languages (like BasicBasic). These source codes are collected from various resources, mainly individual programmers who summit their code via e-mail, the FidoNet QUIK_BAS Echo, and BASIC newsgroups. The ABC Archives operates similarily with respect to the SWAG Archives. Both source code archives survives with contributions from people like YOU. Many thanks to those who have contributed, and of course, for your support! For more on the SWAG Archives (Pascal snippets), please visit their homepage at http://www.gdsoft.com/swag/swag.html ABOUT THE ABC READER CA FOR WINDOWS 95 -------------------------------------- The All BASIC Code Reader '95 was developed under Windows 98, and was test on a 486/66 running Windows '95, and P200 running Windows 98/NT. Thanks to all beta testers and their helpful input! As always, free software doesn't come 100% bug-free, nor does commercial software, but anyway, if you do find any annoying errors, you are advised to e-mail the author: William Yu at [email protected] Your comments and suggestions are always welcome! If you didn't already know, an ABC (All BASIC Code Reader) is a program to read ABC Packets. For example, GAMES.ABC may contain hundreds of individual snippets, the ABC Reader is used much like a database reader, all the information is in the GAMES.ABC Packet, and GAMES.IDX is used to index it. The Packet structures have been documented in ABC.ABC. The ABC Reader '95 was developed in the Windows '98 environment, using Inprises' (Borland) Delphi v3.0 This is an OFFICIAL ABC Reader, please accept no substitutes. READER HISTORY (Latest versions) -------------------------------- ABC READER V1.10 -- Released on April 1, 1996 ABC EXPRESS READER V1.8 -- Released on January 6, 1998 ABC WINDOWS READER -- Pre-released on December 25, 1997 ABC READER 95 -- Released on July 30, 1998 ABC READER 95 CA -- Released on March 7, 1999 Use v1.10 + if you like simplicity and speed (with Smartdrv enabled) + if you have a monochrome monitor/card X Doesn't work on Windows NT 3.51 and up Use v1.8 + if you like unnecessary features like music, custom packets - have at least 1MB of RAM and a 386/25 or better for music + TUTORIAL feature (but is still experimental) + Group Search option allows extraction (unlike v1.10) + Support for Postit! code (creates the .ZIP file) + Works on NT, removed a routine from v1.10 that caused a problem. use v.95 + If you like graphical interfaces + If you're always in Windows! + Has special "LOAD/RUN IT" feature + Support for Postit! code as well as a bunch of other sorting options + Printing quality is better (choose your own fonts, dpi, etc.) - Requires Windows '95 or better - No Tutorial feature implement yet. use 95.CA + All the features of v.95 + Allows authoring and distribution of ABC Packets + Some new features not in v.95 GETTING STARTED --------------- If you've never used any of the previous ABC Readers before, you will probably be confused with the ABC Packet installation process. Unlike the DOS ABC Readers, the Windows version does not detect if new ABC Installation Packets are ready for unpacking. So what the heck are ABC Installation Packets you ask? They are the files contained in ABCyymm.ZIP (where yy=year, mm=month) If you haven't downloaded any, please do so, as the ABC Reader is useless otherwise. Read on to "ABC PACKETS" for more information. It's advised that you unzip the ABCyymm.ZIP file into the directory where your ABC95.EXE program resides. All subsequent ABC Packets should also be unzipped in that same directory for cataloguing. ABC PACKETS ----------- OBTAINING: The ABC Packets contain all the source codes collected from the previous two months. Here are some internet sites which carry them: - http://www.basicguru.com/abc/ - ftp://ftp.basicguru.com/abc/ - http://www.xs4all.nl/~excel/pbabc.html - http://www.edmc.net/~voxel/ - http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/msdos/basic.html ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/msdos/basic There are many Simtel mirror sites around the world, so choose a suitable one for your convenience. (ie. the closer the better). DISTRIBUTING: It's unlawful to distribute modified versions of the ABC Packets, and is punishable to distribute and sell code which have been copyrighted by the original author(s). If you plan to distribute the ABC Packets, or ABC Readers, please do so FREELY. If you are unsure, please e-mail me: [email protected] AUTHORING EDITION ----------------- In this version of the Reader, you can now easily create and distribute your own ABC Packets.
