.BLANK 1
^THE ^^GRIPE\\ PROGRAM ENABLES USERS TO RECORD COMMENTS AND
COMPLAINTS. ^IT READS TEXT ENTERED BY A USER AND RECORDS IT IN A PRESERVED
DISK FILE WHICH IS READ AT SPECIFIC INTERVALS BY THE OPERATIONS STAFF.
^THIS FILE HAS A PROTECTION OF <157> WHICH CAN BE CHANGED BY REDEFINING
THE SYMBOL ^^CMPRIV\\ TO A VALUE OTHER THAN 157^B8. ^THE USER'S
TEXT IS WRITTEN AS A FILE ^^CMP_#_#_#,CMP\\ (WHERE _#_#_# IS A
RANDOM NUMBER) CURRENTLY IN THE 3,3 AREA ON THE SAME STRUCTURE FROM WHICH
^^GRIPE.SAV\\ WAS RUN. ^THEREFORE, THE COMPLAINTS ARE ALWAYS ON A PUBLIC
FILE STRUCTURE. ^IF ^^GRIPE\\ CANNOT DETERMINE THE FILE STRUCTURE, OR THE
^^INIT\\ FAILS, ^^GRIPE\\ USES DEVICE ^^DSK:\\. ^^GRIPE\\ ALSO PLACES
A HEADER IN THE FILE WHICH INCLUDES THE DATE, TIME, AND THE NAME OF THE
USER WRITING THE COMMENT.
.BLANK 1
^AS AN AID TO THE READER OF THE ^^GRIPE\\ FILE, SEVERAL EXTRA
CARRIAGE RETURN-LINE FEEDS ARE ADDED AT THE END OF EACH COMPLAINT.
^THIS ALLOWS THE READER TO LIST ALL COMPLAINTS (BY TYPING ^^*.CMP\\)
WITHOUT HAVING THEM RUN TOGETHER.
