│ Well, the idea of this thingy is quite simple: when I had
│
│ enough of slow and ugly text parsers, I decided to use my
knowledge of C++ and my newborn user interface library (NViews)
to create a faster, nicer and ...cooler utility. I started out
by developing the text file engine, and although it's a beta
version, the engine is very optimized and it went thru very
extensive testing. Then, I employed the mentioned library
to build the user interface, and finally, I revised every
step of the program in order to optimize it. Also, it's a
program that I use extensively, which guarantees the quality
and future refinement. I truly hope you guys like the program
and appreciate the sleepless nights I spent coding it.
Rergards,
Max Nam.

│ Now, as I said before, the purpose of QTI is to analyze
│
│ specified text file in order to give a wide range of useful
statistical information such as word/line/page/etc. count,
maximums and minimums, etc. On large files the program
displays a graph progress indicator. The program meant to be
one of the fastest in its class, here's the comparison chart
that would give you an idea:

so, enough of how good I am... I think it's clear now ;)
██ ∙ » Command Line Reference
Now, so far the command line is quite trivial :
C:\>QTI <filename.ext> [/P:<PageSize>]

│ │ The size of a page on your

Anything else is ignored.
██ ∙ » Requirements
Program should work on any PC with at least 256K... there
might be problems with real old BIOSes.

│ Yes, you can register this program by sending me anything(no
│
│ explosives, please) but you will not get anything, except for
that good feeling inside... and many thanks from me.
What did you expect? It's FREE, remember? If you send me 5
bucks I'll try to send you a disk with my other free
utilities... or I just might spend it for lunch... no promises.
no commitment... hehe. Here's my address for that check
you're holdin'...

│ Well, I'm planning to continue only if I get anything from
│
YOU, and I mean YOU, 'cause you guys always think that someone
else will do that... everybody thinks the same... and your
freeware author starts creating shareware; that way, if the
product is needed and is very annoying in the meantime, you'll
think 'oh well... 15 bucks, what the heck!'... with freeware,
you're not obligated to pay anything... but I need YOU to
inspire me ! So, if I hear anything from you guyz, this is
what I plan to do:
■ Multi-file processing, wildcard support
■ More customizable reports
■ Print feature
■ Grading capabilities
· reading ease level
· SUGGEST !!!
■ Environment configuration string support
■ More statistical information
· Number counting
· SUGGEST !!!
■ Integration with 'FREE' utility manager
■ SUGGEST!!! SUGGEST!!! SUGGEST!!! SUGGEST!!!
Anybody who makes a useful suggestion, automatically gets on
the Honor list.
