Software Update: ABBREVIATOR Version 2.1 For IBM and Compatible Computers ABBREVIATOR by HiPerSoft Systems is a memory resident utility designed to expand user defined abbreviations into a string of up to 1,760 characters. The abbreviation expansion is presented to the application system as if the characters were typed in at the keyboard. ABBREVIATOR can be used to: - Manage standard information, such as name and address data, with uniform access to the same information from different application systems. - "Paste" common phrases or paragraphs in word processing systems with the additional benefit of using the same abbreviation across different word processing systems. - Build abbreviation expansions to issue a series of DOS commands to setup the DOS environment, initiate an application system, and then communicate to the application system. ABBREVIATOR includes a DOS menu system that will initiate application systems with a single keystroke. - Develop regression testing keyboard scripts for the verification of application program changes. The ability to present information to multiple environments from a single abbreviation is a unique and powerful feature of ABBREVIATOR. And because ABBREVIATOR is memory resident, abbreviations are universally available to any application system from any environment. ABBREVIATOR requires an IBM or compatible PC using DOS 2.0 or higher. Resident memory requirements are: 2,592 bytes for the software module, 1,296 bytes for the optional menu system, and up to 64k for the abbreviation table. The size of the abbreviation table is dependent on the number and size of the abbreviations defined. A CGA, EGA, MCGA, VGA, or equivalent video adapter is required. ABBREVIATOR Version 2.1 is available for $29.95 (plus $3.50 S&H) from HiPerSoft Systems, PO Box 597, Coventry, CT 06238.
