The Description Field must be one word or system may crash!!

Comments preceded with a "#" Character

Three lines preceeded with "#" specify filenames for PAGE, DATA, LIST, CHART files

The filename for INIT is for documentation only - It may not be changed

To insure that historical charts are accurate, exercise should never be actually removed from the Initialization file. Remove exercises by changing the exercise notation to "(0x0@0)" for that entry.

This is because the Initialization file is the source for the chart processing and headings, if exercises are acually removed from the file then they will suppress listing of historical data.

To solve this we introduce the "(0x0@0)" exercise specification. Exercises with this notation will be stored in the database to insure historical charts are accurate.

However, these exercises will not be displayed in the Pagefile produced for daily workouts.

USER GUIDE:

This program was a personal project to map my progress in weight training. After 4/12 years in and out of a wheel chair due to six knee operations, I had to rehab my body so I could return to a more normal life.

The file Initialization File (gymlog.ini) contains: ged!

EXERCISE SECTION LAYOUT:

• Exercise Code
• Exercise Description
• Exercise 1 Specification
• Exercise 2 Specification

EXERCISE SPECIFICATION:

• "("
• Cycle - How many times the reps and weights will be repeated
• "x"
• Reps - How many reps per weight
• "@"
• Weight - The weight to the nearest pound (or Kg)
• ")"

(4x10x70) Means 4 cycles of 10 times at 70lbs

One Note:

Some Exercises only have two entries; --- Example: PW Pool Walk (5x200) --- Some exercises have no weight: --- I walk five laps of 200 yards in the shallow side of the Pool.

In these cases the Reps are placed in the Weight Position in the chart.

There are two Exercise Specifications. These where primarily documenting any "Warm Ups" for a particular exercise. Only the exercise with the highest number of reps will be used.

CHART COMMAND:

The chart lists exercises in database order.
