This program was suggested to me by a user of one of my other programs,
CDMaster. Michael Clark is a teacher at a school in West Virginia and he
was right in the throws of doing his own lesson plans for a school year
while using his computer. He wondered if I could write a program to help
with it and keep the Find! and formatted print outs from the other program,
along with keeping it easy for computer newbies.
The result is LessonPlanZ. It is an easy to use system that allows a
maximum of flexibility for the user.
The program is MSDOS compatible, runs on 256K RAM, uses IBM graphics/laser
printers, mono or colour monitor, and can operate on one/two or hard disk
drives. The User can set the colours, printer codes, and default data
drive. There are no 'crippled' features or options.
Program Features:
* Has 5 basic areas of text entries: Methods, Goals, Objectives,
Materials and Evaluation Methods for each lesson plan.
* The program has supplemental information entries for Title,
Class, Lesson Number, Dates Covered, and Number of Days
* The user can change the menu prompts for the text areas and the
section headings for each of those areas.
* User can obtain print outs for all or selected Lesson Plans.
* User can obtain print outs or write to file a listing of all or
select plans, a listing of specific sections of the lesson plans,
an actual lesson plan or a custom made listing.
* The program prints folder labels for paper storage of information
associated with a particular lesson plan.
* The user can set defaults for the Teacher Name and School Name.
* Dynamic data file (only as large as entries).
* Entries can be from 1 to 5000 lines.
* User defines printer codes.
* User names the data file, screen colours, and data drive.
* Word Wrap & Scroll toggle on/off.
* Common word processor commands used.
* On line Help editor available (F1).
* Data files automatically install.
* Full featured full screen editing of text entries.
* Works with TSR spell check/thesaurus programs.
* Prints out entire opus or selected dates.
* Date formats for France, Britain, Germany, Italy and America.
* Mouseablity.
* Much more!
-LessonPlanZ 1-
Getting Started:
The following files MUST be on the same disk or sub directory:
LSNPLANZ.EXE
NEWUSER.DBT
NEWUSER.DAT
PRINT.SET
COLOUR.SET
HELP.PLS
HELP.DBT
UNIEMM.COM
QEMM.SYS And Other Extended Memory Managers:
Occasionally a problem will be incurred by a person using QEMM.SYS or other
extended memory manager. This has to do with the way that the SYS file
manages memory vs the way that the program wants to use the extended memory
(The program will attempt to use extended memory automatically, if it is
available).
On the distribution disk there is a program called UNIEMM.COM. If you are
not using a system with EMM you can delete this file as unnecessary. If you
do have EMM just leave the file in place and use it to load the program.
The utility will tell the program you are using an extended memory that has
this anomoly and command the program to remain in low memory instead of
switching to extended memory. After passing these instructions to the
program, the program will start with no other commands needing to be
entered.
Mouse Users:
YOU must activate the mouse prior to the start of the program. Two Button
Users: The Left Button serves as the return/enter key, The Right Button is
the ESC key. Three Button Users: Same as two button Users, and the middle
button is the F1 key.
Type LSNPLANZ or UNIEMM to start.
First Time Users:
When you first start the program, the computer will bring up the New Set Up
screen first. Just enter the info requested. When you name the Disk
Drive, the program will automatically create the data files on that drive
for you ! So Have A Disk In The Drive And Ready ! If you decide to create
additional data files you may do so (see below). If you change data drives
later be sure you copy the *.DBT and *.DAT to the new data drive THEN
change the default data drive.
-LessonPlanZ 2-
Colours:
Color Letter
------------------
Black N
Blue B
Green G
Cyan BG
Red R
Magenta RB
Brown GR
White W
------------------
Data Drive:
The drive where you will keep your data disk. ex A,B,C,D etc.
File Name:
Any 8 character name , except TEMP and NEWUSER, can be used. If the name
is already used the program will ask you to select a new name.
Teacher:
The teacher's name for this particular grouping of lesson plans, up to 25
characters.
School:
The name of the school involved.
Date Format:
You have the following choices:
A=American MM/DD/YY {Default}
B=British DD/MM/YY
F=French DD/MM/YY
G=German DD.MM.YY
I=Italian DD-MM-YY
Next, the On Screen/Paper screen will appear, this lets the user change
or redefine any of the on screen prompts and section titles used in print
outs. One note: If the first letter of any two menu prompts is the same
(ie Subjects and Supplies) you will loose the ability to make menu choices
by selecting the first letter of the menu choice, and must use the lite bar
to make the section choices.
-LessonPlanZ 3-
The System:
Is designed using KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) so not much information is
needed to get started. Here are a few notes to help you use the system:
Universals:
The ESC key will take you back one menu (Mouse Users use Right Button).
The box in the upper right hand corner of the screen will contain
information on how to move around, and data entry tips.
The last line of the screen will tell you what the highlighted option does.
All menu entries can be selected with the light bar, or by pressing the
first letter of the option (Mouse Users when highlited the Left Button will
activate the option).
The F10 key will bring up Help for a particular item, if no Help is
available for that item, it will allow you to enter the help index. From
the index you may select any of the topics of help available. The Help
file was not written by the same person who wrote this manual, therefore it
might help better explain something to you than this manual does and vice
versa.
The F1 key will bring up the Editing Help screen. Once the screen appears
you can exit the program by hitting the ESC key, any other key returns you
to the system. Great for when you are interrupted or as a Boss Key since
the entire screen is covered (Mouse Users: Hit the Middle Button).
Add Plan:
Allows you to add a new entry. The program will bring up the add screen
and then you can select either the Header Info, or one of the text areas to
deal with.
Header Info contains the Title of the plan, class, start and end dates,
the lesson number and the number of days the plan covers.
When selecting one of the five text areas, the screen will change to a
text editing screen for you to make your entry.
General Editing Notes:
The screen will display only 20 lines of text at a time but by using the
down arrow key or Page Down key you can continue on. Up to 5000 lines can
be used.

then enter the information you to want the program to search for.
When the screen is displayed for Change, you select the areas you want to
change as you did with the Add Plan Option. The first few lines for each
section will be displayed on the screen.
When you have completed changes, you have the option of going on the the
next plan, going back a plan, going to the very first plan listed, or the
very last. ESC will take you back to the menu.
-LessonPlanZ 5-
Erase Plan:
This will allow you to delete an entry. 32 entries will appear on the
screen at a time, the lesson number along with the title will be displayed.
Select one of them or PageDown for the next 32. If you know the lesson
number or title you want select the Lesson # or Lesson Title option and
then enter the information you to want the program to search for.
When the screen is displayed for Erase, the first few lines for each
section will be displayed on the screen. You will then have to confirm
the erasure by entering Y.
Labels&Listings:
You will be allowed to select either all entries or criteria.
Criteria:
You have the following choices: Class, Title, Number, Date, Range.
Class, lets you specify the class for a particular print out.
Title, lets you pull out lesson plans that have a specific title, or
portion of a title (ie History Of The World would pull out History Of The
World Part I, History Of The World Part II and History Of The World,
Abridged).
Date lets you pull out any lesson plans that are covered for a specific
date. This uses the start and end date of the plan to determine dates.
Range lets you pick a range of lesson plan numbers ie 1 to 50, inclusive.
Print Out Menu:
For all print out choices (except Folder Labels) you have the choice of
sending the output to a printer or an ASCII file.
You have the following choices:
Listing:
Provides teacher, school, class, lesson number, start and end dates, days
covered, and title. The ASCII file name is PLANZLST.TXT
Folder Labels:
Print out on 15/16" X 3" labels the lesson title, lesson number, teacher,
school, and dates covered.
-LessonPlanZ 6-
Sectionals:
Lets you pick and choose the text sections to print, then provides a print
out with teacher, school, class, lesson number, start and end dates, days
covered, title and the selected sections. The ASCII file name is
SECTION.TXT.
PlanZ:
Produces a standard lesson plan in outline format, using roman numerals
for each section (ie I,II,III...). The print out has teacher, school,
class, lesson number, start and end dates, days covered, title and all
sections. The ASCII file name is PLANZ.TXT.
Kustom List:
YOU choose what is printed from the header info. The file name is
KUSTOM.TXT.
Find&Read:
This option helps you Find specific lesson plans using the same criteria
as the Labels&Listings criteria, but puts it on the screen for you to read.
After selecting an option you will be given a list of choices that meet
your criteria, from there just highlite the one that you desire and hit the
enter key.
Utilities:
Indexing:
Lets you put the file in
Build For Speed:
Resequences entire data file.
Crunch File:
Reduces the size of the file by smashing out blanks and empty opus lines.
DOES NOT HURT OR CHANGE DATA.
Default Set Up:
See above for Colour choices, etc. If you desire to create another data
file simply enter a capital Z for the default data drive and hit the Page
Down key. This will produce an error message and then put you back in the
Default SetUp screen. Next, enter a NEW data file name (entering the same
-LessonPlanZ 7-
name or name already used will result in that file being over written!)
and the data drive you desire. Then hit the Page Down key.
Printer Set Up:
This allows you to customize the printer codes used by the program. These
codes can be found in your printer manual. The codes that the program has
when originally distributed are for the Epson FX100. You will need to know
the code for 10 cpi (Pica), 12 CPI (Elite), Enlarged, Condensed (17CPI),
Bold On and Off, and Double High/Wide. If your printer cannot handle
double high/wide DON'T PANIC, just leave it blank; the program will use
Enlarged for that entry. You do not have to enter the ESC part of the code,
the program will add that automatically. You can enter the letter ESC code
or the number it does not matter: ie ESC code 119 can be entered as "119"
or "w". (Do not enter any " "s!)
On Screen/Paper
The On Screen/Paper option lets the you change or redefine any of the on
screen prompts and section titles used in print outs. One note: If the
first letter of any two menu prompts is the same (ie Subjects and Supplies)
you will loose the ability to make menu choices by selecting the first
letter of the menu choice, and must use the lite bar to make the section
choices.
Shell To DOS:
You can exit temporarily to DOS by using that option on the Utilities Menu.
The program will swap itself to expanded memory or disk if there is space
{about 300K}. If not the file COMMAND.COM must be on the same drive as the
other program files to do this. You must return to the subdirectory/drive
of LessonPlanZ prior to entering EXIT to return to the program. It will
leave 256K RAM free.
TSR Thesaurus & SpellCheckers:
If you do not have a TSR thesaurus already, I heartily recommend Thesaur
Plus, by fellow ASP author Derrick Burgess. Even if you have a TSR
thesauraus I still recommend that you take a look at Thesaur Plus. What is
Thesaur Plus? In the words of the author:
"Thesaur Plus is a pop-up Thesaurus, whenever you need a different word
or a different shade of meaning than the word that comes to mind, pop-up
Thesaur Plus and get just the word you wanted, but couldn't quite
remember!"
It works excellently with LessonPlanZ and has a registration price of
only $20 (even less if you help build it's dictionaries). It can't be
-LessonPlanZ 8-
beat!
I will try to maintain the latest version, as convenience to users of
LessonPlanZ and will send it out for $5 (to cover P&H). I would rather
have you contact Derrick himself, since he will ALWAYS have the latest
version: Derrick Burgess 23311 Schoolcraft St. West Hills, CA 91307
He charges $6.00 for the latest version of Thesaur Plus, $5.00 of which
is applied toward registration.
I am still looking for, but have yet to find, a Shareware spell checker
that is a TSR. In the meantime the Borland product Turbo Lightening will
have to fill the gap. It works well with LessonPlanZ and does a very good
job of checking your spelling errors.
Enjoy!

READ1ST.DOC
Prior to starting this program there are a few things you should check on
your system:
1. Do you have a CONFIG.SYS file and if so does it have at least 30 files?
To check, go to your root directory on your hard drive (CD\, then return)
or put your DOS Disk in your floppy drive and and then enter TYPE
CONFIG.SYS. If you get File Not Found, see below. If you get a display it
might look like this:
FILES=20
BUFFERS=49
DEVICE=C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS
Since the files listed are below 30 you will need to increase the files
value.
The CONFIG.SYS file can be changed with any word processor that will save a
file in ASCII.
If you do not have a CONFIG.SYS file, the following will create one for
you:
COPY CON CONFIG.SYS (Return)
FILES=30 (Return)
BUFFERS=20 (Return)
(Then Hit The F6 KEY)
It is important that you reboot your system after altering the
CONFIG.SYS file, so that your computer will use the new information.
If you are using LOADHI for Files, this will not work for this program
FILES=30 must be in low memory.
If you ever get an OPEN ERROR during the operation of this program and the
file named is in the proper place, try increasing your files, some other
program may be using a portion of the 30 required by this one.
2. If you are operating an 80286 or 80386 system, and you have over 1 Meg
of memory, use the utility LSNPLANZ.COM to start the program. See
LSNPLANZ.DOC for details.
3. If you use a mouse, be sure you have included the appropriate mouse
driver in your CONFIG.SYS file. Without this the program will not be able
to access your mouse.

LessonPlanZ Ver 2.00
This program was suggested to me by a user of one of my other programs,
CDMaster. Michael Clark is a teacher at a school in West Virginia and he
was right in the throws of doing his own lesson plans for a school year
while using his computer. He wondered if I could write a program to help
with it and keep the Find! and formatted print outs from the other program,
along with keeping it easy for computer newbies.
The result is LessonPlanZ. It is an easy to use system that allows a
maximum of flexibility for the user.
Program Features:
* Has 5 basic areas of text entries: Methods, Goals, Objectives, Materials
and Evaluation Methods for each lesson plan.
* The program has supplemental information entries for Title, Class, Lesson
Number, Dates Covered, and Number of Days

headings for each of those areas.
* User can obtain print outs for all or selected Lesson Plans.
* User can obtain print outs or write to file a listing of all or select
plans, a listing of specific sections of the lesson plans, an actual lesson
plan or a custom made listing.
* The program prints folder labels for paper storage of information
associated with a particular lesson plan.

CompUser Ver 2.70a:
Consists of two files CUSERDAT.EXE & CUSER270.EXE
WARNING THE FILES TAKE 1.72 MEG TO EXTRACT!
Concept:
To provide a single source cyclopedia of the latest data regarding the
computer industry that is rated for the user and will provide the user with
an easy way to contact the companies listed. The system has two parts: The
data file is a listing of dealers in computer supplies, software,
shareware, and BBSs as well as authors of Shareware, magazines and
newsletters. The information is rated and complete. The list is updated
daily with new data files being distributed 3 times a year. The program
lets you maintain and work with the data file, create and edit post cards
for mailings to persons in the data file. Then you may retrieve either
listings of the addresses and cards, address labels, 4X6 cards, or Roladex
cards. The program will print post cards, and address them for you. Post
cards cost 2/3 the price of a letter.
The User:
Shareware Author: Contact more distributors, contact only large or only
small libraries, use the PostCards to get feedback from distributors, use
labels to send disks and the program to track results.
Shareware Library: Find authors and computer hardware dealers. Find BBSs
for downloading.
BBS Users: Find new BBSs to call and peripheral dealers for supplies.
Computer Clubs: Contact shareware authors and distributors, find hardware

Limited Distribution License:
-----------------------------
As the exclusive copyright holder for LessonPlanZ, Unicorn Software Limited
authorizes on-line distribution only in accordance with the following
restrictions. Disk Vendors and Distributors should refer to the VENDOR.DOC
text file for complete license information.
The LessonPlanZ package is defined as containing all the material listed
in the PACKING.LST text file. If any files listed in the PACKING.LST text
file, or the PACKING.LST file itself, are missing, then the package is not
complete and distribution is forbidden. Please contact us to obtain a
complete package suitable for distribution.
o The LessonPlanZ package - including all related program files and
documentation files - CANNOT be modified in any way (other than that
mentioned in the following paragraph) and must be distributed as a complete
package, without exception. The PACKING.LST text file contains a list of
all files that are part of the OMNIDay package.
o Many BBSs customarily add a small text file (advertisement) to each
archived file. This text file describes the BBS and tells people that the
file was downloaded from that particular BBS. Other BBSs add a small
one-line message with their BBS name and phone number into the compressed
file, which will display when the file is uncompressed. Either of these
methods of mentioning your BBS are acceptable and may be used, provided the
program and documentation is otherwise unmodified and complete.

Unicorn Software Limited. If the version you have obtained is over twelve

BBS Update Program:
-------------------
Most BBSs have standard procedures for acquiring new files. They get them
from other boards, new programs are uploaded by users, etc. This is good
because most authors cannot afford to mail disks or upload files to
thousands of BBSs. However, some BBSs prefer to obtain programs directly
from the authors. If you would like to obtain programs directly from us,
automatically, then please help us to cover the cost.
If your BBS would like to receive automatic upgrades to any of our
products, directly from us, then please refer to the information below. Due
to the time and expense we are generally unable to upload directly to a
large number of Bulletin Board Systems. However, we are able to mail
updates on disk (in a sealed envelope) to many BBS's.
If your BBS would like to receive automatic updates then please take
advantage of our BBS Update Program. Under this program you can receive
updates for an entire year for only $10 for all 14 programs (this helps
to offset our costs).
To receive updates, simply send us a letter with the name and address of
your BBS, your mailing address, the name of the person we may contact
(preferably the SYSOP or CO-SYSOP), and a check or money order for $10 (for
countries outside of North America please add an additional $10). Payment
in U.S. funds drawn on a U.S. bank only, please.
The BBS Update Program covers all eleven programs in release. For a
complete list see the file UNICORN.DOC.
NOTE: All BBS's participating in our BBS Update Program will automatically
receive any NEW programs which we may release while their BBS Update
Program is in effect.
The BBS Update Program is only intended to help us cover our expenses in
those cases where a BBS desires to obtain the program directly from us. If
you have other standard ways to obtain programs, then you may prefer not
to use our BBS Update Program.
