RUFUS v.1.06 Translator
by
\/apourware PLC™
What it does:
This archive contains files to translate the German language version
of the RUFUS telecommunication program to English. Program, resource, and
documentation translations are provided in the most compact form available.
Three new files are also packed in to help in your use of RUFUS. New
RUFUS.INF and RUFUS.RUF files should replace those from the original archive.
CISLOG.RUF is included to get a user onto Compuserve®.
Packing list:
This archive should have these files in it:
README.TXT -- This file
\UPDATE\
PROGRAM.ZAP -- Translation file for RUFUS.APP
RESOURCE.ZAP -- Translation file for RUFUS.RSC
SUPERZAP.PRG -- The program to do the translations.
SUPERZAP Copyright © 1992 Bill Aycock.
Used with his generous permission.
RUFUS.RUF -- A new Autostart Batch file for RUFUS
RUFUS.INF -- Settings file adjusted for CompuServe®
CISLOG.RUF -- A RUFUS Batch file to get a user on CIS
\DOCUMENT\
READ_ME.1ST -- Note from the author of RUFUS, translated.
RUFUS_EN.TXT -- The English translation of the users manual.
How to use it:
**COPY** RUFUS version 1.06 and its resource file to a new disk or
folder. Place the complete contents of the UPDATE folder in the same place.
Then run SUPERZAP.PRG. Select "read a ZAP file" and choose the PROGRAM.ZAP
file. Click on the "Translate RUFUS.APP" button. The file selector will
appear. Select RUFUS.APP and SUPERZAP goes to work. A dialog will come up
showing the success of the update.
Repeat these steps for the file RUFUS.RSC choosing RESOURCE.ZAP and
clicking on "Translate Resource" button. Your files are now in 100% English.
Test run RUFUS to be sure the program still works. If not, repeat the
procedure on a new copy of RUFUS.APP and RUFUS.RSC.
When satisfied you have a working copy, move the translated files and
the three other RUFUS files to where you want them. You may erase the ZAP
files and SUPERZAP as they are of no further use.
The files in the DOCUMENT folder are to replace the equivalent ones
you received with RUFUS.
Possible ERRORS:
SUPERZAP may give the following errors while attempting the translation:
"File is too [long | short]! Yikes" You have a different version of a file
from what was used to produce the ZAP files. No translation is
possible with this updater version, contact me on CIS for help. Also,
you may have selected the wrong file. Try again before you panic.
"File is not the right version! Yikes" Same as above.
"Not a valid ZAP file!" You may have selected the wrong file, try again.
"Cannot erase old file!" The copy of the file you are working on is read only.
Use the file selector which comes up after the warning and enter a new
file name for the translated file.
General Notes:
\/apourware™ hopes you will find this archive useful. We feel RUFUS,
even in its current unfinished Shareware form, is a valuable program for the
ATARI ST community. With this reasoning we are providing this translation
for free distribution. Spread it around. Give every ST user you know a copy
of RUFUS. Finally, support shareware!! If you would like to send a donation
to the author of RUFUS in German Marks, most major banks will be able to help
you. Send him U.S. Dollars if you can't find a bank to help you. Thank you!
Have fun with RUFUS!
