- BIGTEXT the electronic book maker v1.7 -
Copyright 1992-93 by Kevin Solway
Short description: make self displaying books, manuals, catalogues
Long description:
Bigtext turns ordinary text files into self-contained, self-
displaying executable files. This program is specifically
designed to make self-displaying books, manuals, documents, and
catalogues. The difference between BigText and similar programs
is that it can handle genuinely BIG volumes of text (up to 700kb
or more) and that it creates a single, neat and convenient
executable file. Defining a menu, or a table of contents, and
defining a customized information screen is easy. The text
viewer programs you make are complete with a fast "find" feature
which enables you to quickly find and go to any portion of the
text. You can compress text during conversion to save both
memory and disk space, enable or disable printing permission for
a measure of security, and specify titles and screen colours.
BigText can automatically run your favourite .exe file
compressor and then helpfully test runs the final product for
you.
If you have written a book but have not yet managed to have it
published, this program is for you. You can turn your book into
a single program which will fit on a 360k disk which you can
distribute to your friends and interested parties.
BigText is also perfect for catalogues, with over fifty section
entries available on the main menu.
Software developers can make self-displaying manuals for their
programs. This minimizes complexity for the user and adds a
level of security to the information.
