- FormNews generates both ANSI/ASC screens in continuous paper
- mode, for use in RemoteAccess Software. Nor more, nor less.
- There's nothing much to care about FormNews. It's easy to
- run, and i guess that even a dead-brain man can put this
- soft to work properly. Now, let's go to the facts.

- RUNNING FormNews
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
-
- As i said above, FormNews is very easy to run. All that you
- need is a source text that you want to generate the screen.
- Provided this, you may execute FormNews with Only 2
- parameters. Let's see the sintax:
-
- C:\>FORMNEWS [source] [target]
-
-
- Well, [source] is the name of the source text file. [target]
- is the file that will be created by FormNews. [target] can't
- be specified with the 3-letters extension. FormNews will add
- automatically the extensions .ANS and .ASC for both Ansi and
- Ascii screens. Altough, if you supply the extension,
- FormNews will ignore and add the correct extensions. So,
- there's nothing to worry about.
-
- The only point you can't ignore is that this source text
- must be limited to 67 caracters per line. All letters after
- this limit will be truncated.
-
- This Software is originally designed to work with
- RemoteAccess. It generates screens with embedded control
- codes compatible with RA. Altough, you may check with your
- Software about the compatibily, as this program only uses
- one RA specific control code (^A - Wait for [ENTER]).
