The Electronic Text Publishing System is used to make "electronic" books or magazines, such as tutorials, training manuals, or even works of literature.

The E-Text system allows you to create professional looking, royalty-free programs with minimal effort.  E-Text uses text files that you create and compiles them into a menu driven "electronic" book, complete with a table of contents.  If you know how to use a word processor, then you have all the skills necessary to publish your own "electronic" books on a disk.

You can customize each E-Text publication with your own color combinations, menu position, wallpaper, scrollable regions, opening and closing splash screens.

E-Text also supports the use of 256-color .PCX images, submenus, executing DOS commands.

A sample electronic document has been included "Aesop's Fables".  To view, just type: READ  [press ENTER].  Once you have seen what E-Text can do, take a look at the COMPILE.DOC documentation on how to create your own E-Texts using the included compiler.
