DIARY-A quicky program for notes on the fly!
Copyright 1989 Edward T. Hopper
What and why
Recently, I assumed a position as a computer sales person. While I spend a
lot of time out of the office, when I am in the office, the phone calls and
meetings are non-stop. I have to keep track of a lot of little facts. For
a while, my cubicle was littered with post-it notes. After losing some
important ones, I decided I needed something SIMPLE that would allow me to
keep a running diary of events through the day. I didn't want anything as
fancy as a text editor, just something that would let me put a few words
into a file. I didn't even want to have to deal with how to name my
notefiles.
How to use it:
Simply create a subdirectory called "DIARY" on drive C. Then type DIARY.
Diary will create a diary file for each day. The filename format is as
follows:
[MMMDD-YY].DIA
Therefore, the diary file for September 14, 1989 would be:
SEP14-89.DIA
If you want to put your diary files on a different drive or directory, then
invoke diary this way:
DIARY filespec
for example:
DIARY D:\NOTES
Puts diary files in the D:\NOTES subdirectory. Of course, if you want to
make a permanent change, make a batch file to call DIARY with the
appropriate arguement.
When DIARY is called the first time, it creates the DIARY file. In
addition, a header is placed on the file stating the diary date. Each
individual entry is timestamped and separated by "====".
ENTERING DIARY ITEMS
It's simple, just type. Press carriage return at the end of each line. To
end your entry, press return twice.
GETTING HELP
Type DIARY /H
VIEWING DIARY FILES
The diaries created by DIARY are plain ASCII files. The format is like this:
Diary for :Sep 14, 1989
===============================================================================
9:10 PM
Here is a sample entry from DIARY.
===============================================================================
9:15 PM
This is the second DIARY entry.
I didn't put a viewing function into DIARY. I suggest a true editor if you
want to change DIARY entries. Otherwise use Vern Buerg's excellent LIST
program to view these ASCII files.
