- BIGTEXT -
- UPDATE INFORMATION -
Version 1.2
- Fixed bug during conversion of very large files - would
sometimes halt execution when out of memory.
- Improved help system.
- Pressing Alt-C in the viewer program will now toggle the
screen colours.
Version 1.3
- Fixed bug when repeating a search for text - occasionally
would not find the text.
Version 1.4
- Added ability of viewer program to scroll left and right
for long lines. This means your text can now extend past
the right hand side of the screen. Ideal for tables and
spreedsheets. Maximum line length 255 characters.
- Added the program JOIN.EXE to replace the batch files for
joining small text files into a single big text file.
Version 1.5
- Now uses the currently set video mode. For example, if you
are using 50 line mode, then the executable files created
by Bigtext will display text in 50 line mode.
- Line drawing characters are now approximated during printing.
(with - and | characters).
Version 1.6
- Text viewer programs now have a percentage indicator on the
bottom line of the screen to indicate the relative position
within the document.
- Sometimes the "~" characters were printed out when
printing. This has now been fixed.
- You can now use the text compression feature on documents
that contain graphic ascii characters. However, individual
lines containing graphic characters will not be compressed.
- The program Bigtype.exe has been included in the package.
Using this program you can generate fancy text to brighten-
up the documents you display with Bigtext.
Version 1.7
- Text compression will now compress text by an extra %15,
meaning you can process even larger volumes of text -
700kb or more. (However, this will not necessarily
decrease the size of the .exe file every time)
- Text compression is now set to on by default. Text
compression can be turned off from the command line (or
batch file) with the new parameter /CN.
