What is WinScribe?
WinScribe is a freeware software program for
tracking Boy Scout advancement. It was written by Barry Griffin, Scoutmaster
of Troop 138, in the Atlanta Area Council. If you have questions for Barry,
please e-mail him at barry@troop138.net
WINSCRIBE 2000 will
operate on Windows 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98, or NT systems. It requires 5 MBs
of disk space. The program is archived in WS2000.ZIP which is
3.5 MBs. Click on either of the two icons at the
top of the page to download WINSCRIBE 2000.
WinScribe Does NOT work with
Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
Information and Tips With WinScribe,
you can easily keep up with Scout records, keep track of adult leader
information as well as information on merit badge counselors, fill out and
print tour permits, and make up event rosters. There's also expansion
capabilities built in for future plugins.
After you unzip the file, run SETUP.EXE. The setup program
will place all the working files in a default directory (or one of your
choosing).
The first time you run WinScribe,
you will immediately be taken to the WinScribe
Setup screen. Don't worry if you don't know the answers to all the questions
right now. You can always go back and change things by clicking on the
flashlight centered at the bottom of the WinScribe
screen.
Creating Records Now that WinScribe
is up and running, clicking on one of the folder tabs will take you to that
type of record. Clicking on the rectangle that starts with NEW will start up
the new record creation screen for that subject. Just fill in the blanks.
