-
-
- VIET.COM:
-
- VIE^'T is a somewhat Wordstar-like text editor for Vietnamese\.
- It runs on MS-\DOS machines, and requires CGA (or compatible, such
- as EGA, VGA, etc.) graphics. Output is via dot-matrix printers
- (see VLASER for laser printing). It uses micro-spacing
- bit-mapped technology to produce near-letter-quality output even
- on non-NLQ printers.
-
- All VIE^'T commands are summarized on the help screen (Press
- F1 inside VIE^'T to read). One major improvement for this version
- is the ability for user-\defined keys (ALT F1 to set up).
-
-
- VLASER.EXE:
-
- VLASER is the laser printing portion of VIET. It allows you
- to format the page and select different fonts, pitches, line
- spacings, etc. Four laser fonts are supplied: COURIER,
- PRESTIGE, PALATINO and CHANCERY\.
-
- VLASER can be used to print output files of VIET or VMORE\.
- Usage: vlaser [filename] (the filename is optional; if not
- supplied, the previously used filename will be assumed).
-
-
- VMORE\.EXE:
-
- This is a utility like Unix' "more", but takes pseudo-
- Vietnamese as input. This utility allows you to read Vietnamese
- messages that have been electronically mailed to you, or posted
- on a computer network. It also performs conversions between VIE^'T
- files and these other data formats to allow you to electronically
- mail or post files written with VIE^'T.
-
- Executing VMORE without any parameter will display a help
- message to guide you through it.
-
-
- AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH VIET, VLASER & VMORE:
-
- Having a file named TEXT.SCV which you have received as
- electronic mail (e\.g, from viet-net) or downloaded from a news
- group, such as soc.culture\.vietnamese (SCV)
-
- VMORE TEXT.SCV TEXT.VT (read the file, put result in TEXT.VT)
- VLASER TEXT.VT (print out a copy of TEXT.VT on the
- Laserjet)
- VIET TEXT.VT (edit the file for a reply, print it out on a
- dot-matrix printer, or compose a new message;
- e\.g., REPLY\.VT)
- VLASER REPLY\.VT (print a copy of the new message on
- the Laserjet)
- VMORE -P REPLY\.VT REPLY\.SCV (convert reply to SCV format for
- posting, use -PN if you don't want to view
- the output)
-
-
- LSDESIGN.COM, PRDESIGN.COM, SCDESIGN.COM:
-
- These three utilities allow you to modify or create laser,
- dot-matrix, and screen fonts, respectively\. Please read the file
- DESIGN.DOC for instructions on usage\.
