- SCREENVN V1.2
- -------------
-
- This is a resident DOS program for viewing Vietnamese text.
- It converts the 7-bit text (the format used on SCV) on the screen
- to Viscii 8-bit format. So if you have VN screen-font, you can read
- SCV articles or VN text files with any text viewer, and needn't to
- do any conversion before.

- How to get Vietnamese screen-font ?
- -----------------------------------
-
- VIETDOS is a great software of TriChlor group. It makes the screen-font
- and keyboard. You can get it free via FTP, in many FTP servers. For
- example FTP to MEDIA.MIT.EDU, directory pub/Vietnet/Viscii, the file
- is VDOS421.ZIP. After get and unzip this file, you will need the file
- VIETDOS.EXE (or VIETDOSV.EXE for VGA screens).

-
- How to run SCREENVN ?
- ---------------------
-
- SCREENVN can work only with VIETDOS or other screen-fonts.
-
- First, run VIETDOS
-
- C:\VIET> vietdos M
-
- then, run SCREENVN
-
- C:\VIET> screenvn
-
- now you can TELNET to your News-server.
-
- You can also make a batch file:
-
- C:\VIET>copy con VIETNAM.BAT
- mark
- vietdos M
- screenvn
- ^Z
-
- Now just type VIETNAM to load both VIETDOS and SCREENVN.
- ( MARK.EXE is for unloading them. If you needn't SCREENVN anymore,
- run RELEASE.EXE. These programs are included in VDOS421.ZIP. ).
-
-
-
- How does it work?
- -----------------
-
- When you load the program, it stays resident in memory and activates
- two-three times per second. It searches 7-bit Vietnamese words in the
- screen and replaces them with 8-bit characters (in Viscii format) and
- space characters. So you needn't to find out what the words like
- " Nu+o+'c Vie^.t Nam " mean but just read them easily.
-
- You can also use the following hot-keys to control it's work:
- Alt ESC : toggle converting ON/OFF
- Alt Gray+ : increase the refreshing speed
- Alt Gray- : decrease the refreshing speed
- Alt TAB : toggle inserting spaces ON/OFF
-
- ( You won't see the effect of changes until you program refresh it's screen )
