=============================================================
TextRead was one of the sample programs that was included with
TDBS v1.2.
It is basically an enhanced replacement for a TBBS type 1
command. With this version, ANSI emulation is longer required.
It displays a text file one page at a time, and allows the user
to move forward and backward in the file, reporting a "% done"
count. Users can also download the file at any time while
viewing it.
Install TextRead like you would any other TDBS program. The
OptData needs to reference the name of the text file you want to
display. An example OptData follows:
Opt Data=C:\TBBS\TEXT\TEXTREAD /Q && C:\TBBS\FILE\MYFILE.TXT
Please not that the double ampersand (&&) separates the name of
the TDBS program and TDBS switches from the name of the text
file you want to display.
