- This is the Beta version (Vers. 0.6, 17.6.1993) of TRANSFIL.EXE:
- A few bugs have been ironed out, and hopefully this now works
- without major hitches.
- The translation of Cardfiles into Textfiles and vice versa
- has been cleaned up and is now more exact.
-
- A link to Notepad and Cardfile programs has been included for easy
- viewing of results.
- Of course Notepad cannot view large textfiles
-

- Cardxlat.zip contains the files:
- transfil.exe
- transfil.hlp
- readme.txt
- Copy them into any directory and start transfil.exe from either
- the filemanager or the program manager.
- The program translates Windows cardfiles to tab-delimited textfiles
- and tab-delimited textfiles to Windows Cardfiles.
-
- Warning:
- There is currently a limit on the number of records (cards) which is 700:.
- And each card may not contain more than 350 letters (including tabs).
- A line of text which is longer than this will be truncated.
- (This is a limit imposed by WINCARD!)
-
- Each tab in the textfile is translated into a Return (#13#10)
- and uses up space, so a lot of tabs in your textfile
- will fill the card more quickly, and can make it "inaccessible"
- to cardfile although the number of letters in that card are less than 350
