    ZBSCR is a utility to facilitate the development of ZBase (a 
commercial database program for the Z88) programs. ZBSCR 
provides an easy to use tool to layout screens and defined 
fields, and then generates a simple ZBase program in that 
format. The generated program can then be expanded to fit the 
individual needs.



    This program and all documentation is provided as is, 
without any warranty either expressed or implied, including but 
not limited to implied warranties of merchantability and fitness 
for a particular purpose. In no event shall the author be liable 
for any loss of profit or other damage caused by the use or 
misuse of the program, including but not limited to special, 
incidental, consequential or other damages.



    This program is copyright 1990 by Richard C. Haw, all rights 
reserved. It may be freely copied and distributed so long as the 
original documentation is distributed with the program and no 
fee is charged for the program other than normal on-line charges 
for dial-up systems or a distribution medium fee not to exceed 
$5.00 (US) for manual distribution.



    The operation of the program is very straight forward, when 
first run the program will ask for a file name, if an existing 
ZBSCR file by that name does not exist the user will be asked if 
they wish to create one. The available options and their 
functions should be straight forward, a little experimentation 
should provide a better explanation than a written one here.

    Upon exiting the program ZBSCR will write out a number of 
files, with the same root name as was originally entered, but 
with differing extensions as follows:

.ZID


.DEF

.PRG




    The latest version of this program can be found on the Genie 
commercial timeshare service in the laptops forum. Any questions 
or comments on the program can be emailed to R.HAW1.
