DESCRIPTION
-----------
QMac is a translator of QEdit macro files. It translates QEdit
macros from the binary file in which QEdit saves macros to a
text file which allows easy macro editing, and translates such
text files back into a QEdit binary file.
This allows you to "record" a macro using QEdit; fine-tune it by
editing the text representation of the macro; and then translate
the edited version and reload it into QEdit for replay.
QMac allows appending to or overwriting existing files, making it
easy to add new macros to existing files. QMac's text file format
allows comments, permitting documentation of the macros within
their "source file".

MODIFICATIONS TO A TXTFILE
If you want to modify a txtfile, you'll need QMAC.EXE (QMAC11A.ZIP). Make the
changes with your favorite editor (Qedit, natch); and recompile the .QM file
into a new .MAC file. Complete documentation is included with the QMAC program,
however here is what you'll need to enter so that you get the correct resultant
file:
C:\EZ\=> QMAC macfile.mac txtfile.qm /B /A- <Enter>
│ │ │ └─── do NOT Append macfile.MAC
│ │ │ make a NEW binary file
│ │ └── make a Binary file
│ └───── Source txtfile (ASCII file)
└─────── Binary macfile readable by Qedit
If you want to have the macros "Instant", you'll have to modify your
QCONFIG.DAT file as outlined in the Qedit manual.
