		   (C) 1985 by Merlin R. Null


     ENCODE is pseudo compiler for dBASE II version 2.4 or higher
command files.   Programs encoded with ENCODE will run  with  the
regular version of dBASE II version 2.4 or higher.  Ashton-Tate's
RUNTIME is not required, although it could be used.   RUNTIME  is
simply an amputated version of dBASE II that only has the ability
to run programs, not edit them.









		Calling a Directory Listing

     To call a directory from the title screen  simply  enter the
drive you wish to list.

Filename.SRC or Drive:? A:

   This will list the directory of drive A  and give  the  prompt
again.

Directory of drive A:
FOO	.CMD	DBSOURCE.BAS	DBSOURCE.COM	TEST2	.CMD	A10	.CMD
ENCODE	.BAS	ENCODE	.COM	MBASIC	.COM	D	.COM	SAMPLE	.CMD
BOOKS	.DBF	BOOKS	.FRM	DBASE	.COM	CLS	.DAT	TERMSET	.BAS
CLEARSET.COM	DBASEMSG.TXT	DBASEOVR.COM	B4	.CMD	C3P0	.CMD
DBINDENT.BAS	DBINDENT.COM	DOCTOR	.BAS	A10	.SRC	A10	.BAK
CLONE	.CMD	TEST	.CMD	CLONE	.SRC	A10	.OLD	DBSRC2	.COM
DBSRC2	.BAS
Filename.SRC or Drive:?

     The ZCPR like drive call of A; will also work  to  call  the
directory, even if you are not  running  ZCPR.   The Filename.SRC
may be entered here  or  a  <RETURN>  will  redisplay  the  start
screen.


			 Encoding a File

     A file to be encoded MUST have  the  extension  .SRC.   Just
rename your  source  file  to  <filename>.SRC.   Then  enter  the
<filename>.SRC  at the ENCODE prompt:

Filename.SRC or Drive:?








			Option

N	No console display of input file. This is the only option.

     The N option must preceded by a space:

Filename.SRC or Drive:? SAMPLE.SRC N













			Help File

     This help file may be called from ENCODE by entering  a  "?"
at the title screen.
