The best way to explain EDVA is to run it with a font. Assuming you have
both EDVA and SCRIPT.FNT, type
EDVA SCRIPT.FNT
Now, type a short word and hit the Enter key. Get the picture? When you get
tired of playing, hit Ctrl-Z or F6. This is the most direct way to run EDVA,
but it's not very useful. However, using DOS redirection and pipes, you can
get input from and/or write output to files. For example:
ECHO Hello! | EDVA SCRIPT.FNT
Should print "Hello!" in big letters for you. Finally, suppose you have a
small text file called SAMPLE.TXT with a few words in it, and you want to
convert it to big letters and store it in SAMPLE.BAN:
EDVA SCRIPT.FNT < SAMPLE.TXT > SAMPLE.BAN
It's that simple. If you're creative with batch files, you can make it do
all sorts of tricks.
Enjoy!
