When Less is More

    A proposal for using the Quickpad Pro at a theological seminary in Africa.

Word 7.0 Macro text file

    This is the code for a MS Word 7.0 macro which will convert text files from the QP Pro and give them formatting (such as italics, boldface, indented paragraphs, etc.).

qpreader.zip

       QP Reader v. 0.99 is able to display text files larger than the QP Pro's editor program, which at this point has a limit of 65 k).   I wrote QP Reader v. 0.99 compile in Borland's Turbo C++ v.3.  Some of the early lines of code were written and tested on the QP Pro, being compiled by the Turbo C++ v. 1 line compiler.  Instructions are in the file called readme.txt.

Utilities (that I use):

ced10da.zip
    This is a command line utility that works well with the QP Pro.  See Victor's QuickPAD Pro Home Page for more information. 

fasff360.zip
    I use this file finding utility.  I will also find files inside of zipped files.  By D. Williams (includes source code). 

keyscan.zip, ascnum.zip, getasc.zip
    These are three DOS utilities that I wrote while learning Turbo C and C++.  The first is particularly handy.  Keyscan.exe gives the keyboard scancode of any key ( +/-  alt/shift/ctrl).  With this program I learned that alt-F1 has the same scancode (26624) as the ON/OFF key, and will thus, turn off the QP Pro!
    Ascnum.exe displays the character corresponding to a number that the user inputs from the keyboard.  Getasc.exe displays the ASCII number of a character that the user inputs from the keyboard.
