PLAN180: Computing

{Some overly idealistic goals, plans and objectives I wrote up in the early 1990's, and otherwise based on ideas I had in the 1980's and possibly as far back as the 1970's.}


 FUNCTIONS & PROCEDURES
  • All functions and procedures should be written in Pascal and/or C and such that there is little difference between the look of the source code. So that there is programmers style, and such that conversion from one language to another is a breeze.
  • # OpenFiles :
    • input
    • output
  • # ReadFile :
    • strings :
      • SDF
      • CDF
      • DXF
      • records
      • values
  • # WriteFile
    • strings :
      • SDF
      • CDF
      • DXF
      • DBase
      • StrucDes

  • # Menus :
    • input screen

    • Margins
  • # Disk Management & DOS utilities
    • LIMIT.EXE
    • limited access to DOS commands for USERS
    • of own computer. Executed by Autoexec.BAT
    • logged onto drive D: in TMP directory. Only
    • access to commands :
    • dir
    • del (except del *.*)
    • md
    • rd
    • -{copy, format a:, print} ?
    • everything in TMP directory deleted, on exit
    • from LIMIT, and/or at boot up of computer
    • "SU" command to be provided to exit from
    • LIMIT and goto DOS proper. To do so is to
    • require USERNAME and PASSWORD.
    • Also to provide :
    • ed {small text editor}
    • mail {user messages}
    • assist {menu assistance}
    • Menu assisted Diskette formatting
    • Program listing management
    • Program File management
