Information about “CREATING USER FRIENDLY SOFTWARE”
This utility set should be in the haversack of everyone trying to write
attractive, user friendly BASIC or Turbo Pascal programs.
Some utilities will make your programs more attractive, most will make
them quicker and more friendly. Source code is available for most.
Users should understand ASCII.
Included are a batch of ways to help you write easy-to-use programs to
get input from users, especially multiple data input. One utility
helps set up one-sentence prompts for each input. Another enhances the
use of default values. A third makes BASIC and Pascal understand upper
and lowercase inputs identically. Other utilities help you deal with
arrow key inputs, setting up data input screens, using lines and boxes,
and displaying a message to buzz off when the computer is busy.
