<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<¢ "XR_40" or "READ4080.OBJ"¢¢ (Found on Side 2 of Newsletter)¢ A Text Reading Utility¢¢ Written by¢¢ James C. Fuller¢¢XR_40 will read any ascii file ¢regardless of file size, line length,¢or end of line terminator ( ¢Atari EOL or CR/LF). Actually there¢doesn't even have to be an EOL.¢¢ Loading:¢ Atari Dos [2.0-2.5]¢ Either rename AUTORUN.SYS or ¢binary load from menu.¢¢ SpartaDos:¢ From command line:¢ XR_40 [Dx:filename.ext][col1 ¢col2]¢ col1 is text¢ col2 is background¢ normal defaults are 202 148¢The formula to figure color is¢ Color=Hue*16 +Luminance¢¢ All arguments are optional but ¢if you want to change the colors you¢must have the filename and both ¢colors.¢¢ If you are using Atari Dos or ¢did not specify a file name when ¢loading from SpartaDos you will be ¢prompted for a filename. Enter Dx:filename.ext. The D: is ¢required. There is no default.¢¢ If you wish to view a directory ¢enter D2:*.* for all files on drive ¢2. D:*.TXT for all files with TXT ¢extender on drive 1.¢¢ After your file loads you will ¢see page one of this file. From here¢you can alter the colors with ¢the arrow keys ( control key not¢needed).¢¢ Press the spacebar to advance ¢forward one page. If you wish to ¢review the the last page read press the SELECT key. It will toggle between¢the present and last read.¢¢ The ESCAPE key will terminate ¢the reading of this file and ask you ¢if you wish to load another file. ¢"N" will return you to DOS.¢¢ The only limitation is there ¢must be a space at least every 38¢characters for it to read ¢correctly.¢¢ Any questions direct them to me ¢:¢¢ GEnie J.FULLER¢ CIS 70117,1040¢¢ +*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*++*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
