If you only specify one, you will not have this menu choice. If you wish to look at the data (for example, a Boss who wants to know where s/he is supposed to be) then do not use the -m parametors. If you wish to edit (ie: add or delete) entries in the schedular, then use the -m (modify) parametor. This is intended for use by the person (secretary) who is responsible for the booking of time. At all times, the legal choices are displayed at the bottom of the screen, with the option letters highlighted. just press the option key. As you proceed through the menus, the list of legal choices will change to reflect your current state. usage (spawning) ================ qvs [-m] datafile [ [-m] datafile ...] The com file qv.com is pointed to by the symbol qvs. This is important. When qv.com is executed it fires up a spawning version of quo_vadis. That is, quo_vadis is fired up in a spawned process. When you quit from the spawned version, quo_vadis remains alive as a subprocess. If the spawning is successful, qv.com REDEFINES the symbol qvs to attach to the subprocess running quo_vadis. You thus reattach to quo_vadis by using the same command as you used to fire it up. The original parametors are ignored when you attach. documentation ============= this is the install document. quo_vadis.hlp can be built into your systems help libraries. online.hlb is a help library used during the running of quo_vadis. backwards compatibilty ====================== the data file format changed between version v.1 and v.2. because this is not your problem, the program will reformat old into new on the fly if it hits old data. copyright ========= copyright 1989,1990 lance r bailey vox: 519-663-3787 ext. 4108 fax: 519-663-3789 help and bug fixes ================== queries to author
