- P-Suite is an integrated set of programmes for the production of brighter
- and livelier computer text.
-
- Not so long ago texts were plain black & white; docs, instructions, even
- disk magazines were alike, plain, visually utterly without interest and
- difficult to read.
-
- Led by the disk magazines colour and text-style changes were introduced, and
- now even the occasional programme docs show slight signs of life. The chief
- barrier to wider introduction of color has been the difficulty of entering the
- escape codes needed from normal text editors such as EMACS.
-
- But how many satisfactory printed magazine articles do you see without
- illustrations ? How many instruction manuals ? How can you possibly do a
- proper review of a game or programme without illustrations ? So why should
- on-disk articles, instructions, reviews be any different. The excuse is of
- course that the necessary software has not been available.
-
- P-SUITE PROVIDES THE SOFTWARE.
-
- P-Suite is based on P-Reader a dual mode general display programme.
-
- In one mode it displays normal texts in a similar manner to the many other
- readers that are around, decompressing them if compressed. It also has the
- ability to show pictures (IFF-ILBM) run animations (ANIM 5) and sounds (8SVX).
-
- In the second mode it can show special text files in which pictures,
- animations and sounds are interwoven with text.
-
- The partner to P-Reader is P-Writer which makes the entry of escape codes for
- color and style changes very simple, and helps in the preparation of
- illustrated texts.
-
- Once you start including illustrations of any sort the bulk of the file will
- increase considerably. P-Compress which is the fastest and most efficient
- general compression tool available anywhere keeps size under control.
-
- Provided that they obey a few rules, ANIM5 animations from any source can be
- used in texts, P-Animate is a full 3D animator which will do the job better
- than most.
-
- The utility P-FixLib patches the operating system so that compressed
- executables, libraries, icons can be used as though they were in their normal
- uncompressed state
-
- Finally P-Index. Finish off your diskmag or programme disk with an index
- that is as lively as the text itself and save on disk-space as well.
-
-
- Come on now. Brighten the place up.
