AutoList
Copyright (c) 1991 Marco Savegnago
Version 1.1 - 5/10/1991
This program can be copied freely but non for commercial purposes!
AutoList is a simply utility for compress a normal text file into an executable
and autolisting file.
Normally, for read a text (ASCII) file you must use an editor program, now with
AutoList you can convert your text file into an executable, smallest (true only
for filelenght over 10K) and autolisting file.
For example, now you are reading this text probably using your prefer editor,
please exit to DOS and try to convert this text with AutoList, typing:
C:\AUTOLIST AUTOLIST.ENG MANUAL <Enter>
Autolist compress AUTOLIST.DOC and make an executable and autolisting file named
MANUAL.EXE.
Note that if you don't supply the .EXE exstension in output executable file
AutoList put it itself.
If you want to see the result just run MANUAL.EXE.
Obviously, with this small file AutoList produce an executable largest because
for every file there is an overhead of 8 Kbyte due the decompression and listing
routine.
AutoList was made for my own, it can be copied freely but not sold at all!!!!
In the executable file you can specify the metode that the listing routine
use to write on the screen (default it write directly in Video RAM).
The option are:
/b write using Video BIOS call.
/c write waiting retrace in old CGA
As support I have written UNAL.EXE a program for extract the compressed text
from an AutoList EXE file.
Enjoy!
PS: Excuse for my 'english' but I think that you prefer this rather than
italian doc!
