5 RCARD, UTILITIES, Read Cardfiler cards on VT terminal   7 RCARD V1.4 - Read DECwindows/Motif Cardfiler card files 9 PCARD V1.0 - Print DECwindows/Motify Cardfiler card files   7 Copyright  1998, Hunter Goatley.  All rights reserved.   F RCARD is a program that will read a DECwindows CardFiler card file andI display it on non-DECwindows terminals using the SMG$ routines.  It works I with the files produced by DECwindows v5.4 and Motif v1.x (yes, the files  are different).   D RCARD can be compiled with either VAX C or DEC C.  MMS or MMK should be used to built it.  C To use it, just define a symbol and give the name of the card file:     	$ rcard :== $dev:[dir]rcard.exe. 	$ rcard phone			!Defaults to SYS$DISK:[].CARD  J Once the file has been read into memory, a window will appear containing aG menu of card subjects.  You can scroll through the menu using up-arrow, F down-arrow, NextScreen, and PrevScreen.  When the cursor is positionedH on the subject for the card you want to see, press RETURN.  A new window, will pop up containing the text of the card.  H You can scroll through the card's contents and press either "Q" or ^Z toI exit the card and go back to the subject menu.  You can also press "N" or J "P" to move to the next or previous card, respectively without closing the card window.   CTRL-W repaints the screen.   & Please note the following limitations:  K   o  The file format was based on observation only; I didn't have access to B      the DECW$CARDFILER sources.  RCARD could break in the future.I   o  Card files containing DDIF images *cannot* be viewed using RCARD.  I J      never could figure out how the images were stored so that RCARD couldG      skip over them.  Instead, the program bombs with a horrible access ;      violation and stack dump.  So much for error checking. J   o  Card files cannot be created or modified by RCARD (the "R" stands forF      "read").  Since I couldn't identify all of the information in the<      files, I didn't want to claim to be able to write them.I   o  Really large files could crash the program.  The entire file is read D      into memory, so it is limited by whatever process limits are in      effect.  I I wrote the program because I was using the DECwindows CardFiler while at H work and didn't have any easy way to look at the information while I wasI dialed in from home.  The program isn't very robust; I never store images & in the files, so it works well for me.   --------------- E PCARD reads DECwindows/Motif Cardfiler card files and generates a TeX G output file that will produce two-column output showing the contents of ; each card.  The TeX source file NEWSLETTER.TEX is required.     	$ pcard :== $dev:[dir]pcard.exe" 	$ pcard phone		!Creates PHONE.TEX) 	$ tex "\input newsletter   \input phone"     0 Questions, comments, or suggestions are welcome.  & Hunter Goatley, goathunter@PROCESS.COMP -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COPYRIGHT NOTICE  M This software is COPYRIGHT  1991, 1998  Hunter Goatley.
