                  FF                       FF
                  FF  Welcome to F_world!  FFFF
                  FF                       FF

The F_world point-and-click programming tool is designed
to be friendly for the first time computer user, as well
as efficient for the professional programmer.

BEGINNERS: You are ready to begin your F_world journey.
Simply double-click on the "F" icon instead of this
'ReadMe' icon.  Close this window by clicking on the 'X'
in the upper right corner of this window.

PROFESSIONALS and TEACHERS: Read on ...

The F-command-line can also be used to run programs in a
style more familiar to those of us that have written
programs before.  Click on the F-command-line to get
an F DOS window.  (It will toggle full-screen/window
with [Alt][Enter].)  Type the command F and you will be
prompted for a filename.

**  F file names must end in a ".F" as in "mycode.F"  **

If you prefer batch mode, type the command

   F mycode.F

Notice that this works only with the F-command-line
DOS window and not with any other DOS window.

TEACHERS: Files are written into the imagine1\usr
directory if using F_world.  If using the F-command-line,
files are written into the current directory.  When
students are ready to learn about directories, have them
try the F-command-line.

The executable file will not be deleted when running F
from the F-command-line.  The executable file is deleted
when running a program from F_world.

Files needed by F for a validated module are written
into the imagine1\usr\f_files directory by default.  If
you are using the F-command-line, these files are written
into an f_files subdirectory of the current directory.

TEACHERS: SHARING MACHINES?
If a student needs to copy their files onto a diskette,
they can either
 (1) copy only the *.F files, or
 (2) copy *.F and *.obj and *.mod and
      all the files in the f_files subdirectory
and then delete *.F and *.obj and *.mod and the f_files
subdirectory ('deltree f_files').

All the F source is in the *.F files.  The other files
are created when F modules are validated.  If the student
does not want to revalidate all their modules, copy all
the files listed in (2) onto a diskette.

Upon returning to a machine, go to the directory that the
student is working from, for example
  imagine1\usr\fred
and delete all the *.F and *.obj and *.mod files and the
f_files subdirectory.
Then copy from the diskette into that directory.

If Fred is doing work in imagine1\usr\fred, the above is
not necessary.  But if work is instead kept in
imagine1\usr (which is the default from clicking on the
F icon) then storing to a diskette and deleting files
would prevent students from seeing each others code.
