- SCROLLTEXT CONVERTER
-
- Attention all of those people who have to write massive scrolltexts!
-
- Do you hate having to stop every few lines and write M$=M$+" or
- TEX$=TEX$+" to carry on with your messages? Well, those days are over.
-
- On this disk is a small program which reads in an ASCII file and
- converts it into a list of M$=M$+" or whatever. This is then saved as
- an ASCII file ready to be imported into STOS. Here's what you do:
-
- First of all, you are presented with a file selector. Choose which
- document file you wish to convert (must be ASCII).
-
- The program asks you the name of the string you wish to use, and the
- starting line number. For example, you may want to contain your
- scrolltext in TEXT$, starting at line 4500.
-
- Then, you are asked for the destination filename .ASC
-
- The program writes out the file and starts again. Next, load up your
- demo, and type LOAD "SCROLLER.ASC" or whatever you called your message,
- et voila!
-
- More avid demo coders may wish to put their text into a memory bank for
- quicker access. No problem! Another source file on the disk loads in an
- ASCII file and writes it into a memory bank, then BSAVEs it.
-
- Hopefully, these two programs will help to make scrolltext-writing a
- much simpler task!
