XMAS.EXE electric Card by Bill Buckels     Registration 5.00
OTHR SE90 BUCKELS XMAS THE TINY ELECTRIC CHRISTMAS CARD
FILES: xmas-etc.sdn



The Electric Christmas Card Kit is Contains a Christmas Card
program called XMAS.EXE which allows a  custom  signature to
be added to itself (a musical Christmas Card).

This Program is intended to be  distributed  like  any other
Christmas Card.

The Kit also contains a Compiler Module  which  replaces the
greeting already in XMAS.EXE  with a personal signature.

The Compiler Module is Called MAKECARD.EXE and requires XMAS
EXE in the current directory.

Usage is pretty straight forward, and if  you  want  several
different Christmas cards all you need to do is to copy them
after processing to whatever name suits your fancy.

Makecard creates .BAK files just to be on the SAFE side.

I have included the C language Source Code.  ( I  translated
this from an old GWBASIC public domain  program  with  minor
modifications. The C program is only 12k and is a whole  lot
tinier an EXE than the BASIC VERSION compiled to.)

Remember  that if you are going to MODIFY the C Source Code,
You Will Likely Need to rewrite the MAKECARD.EXE  since  the
signature will be relocated and MAKECARD will not find it in
the new program.

As  an  afterthought I have also  included  a  text-graphics
musical   "DUDELBUG"  called  DUDEL.EXE  which is internally
documented by pressing F1 for help at any point. Bsaved Text
screens (like those created in THEDRAW or GWBASIC )   can be
loaded into DUDEL to give the young user a background,   and
a quicksave feature allows the masterpieces to be saved  for
later recall. This one's noisy (F2 toggles the sound)but the
kids like drawing in time to the music.

This might make a reasonable stocking stuffer.
(C language source is also included)

And I have also also included (he he) a Memory Resident Text
Screen Capture Utility Called GRABTEXT.EXE which will  allow
one to roam around and COPY 80-column text  screens  out  of
various programs to be EDITTED and resaved (in DUDEL or  any
other editor that accepts the .BSV format. A tiny BASIC prog
is also included to show how to reuse these screens in BASIC
