The DEMOSCRX.EXE program takes the file created by the DEMOSCRS.EXE TSR and
creates screen files that can be used in conjunction with The DEMO System.
These files have imbedded color codes (^Cx) in them. The program can also be
used to create files with standard ANSI.SYS-compatible codes in them. It can
also be used to create plain vanilla text files without screen colors.
The program requires two parameters and allows for several others:
DEMOSCRX infile outfile [ /OVERWRITE | /APPEND | /-OVERWRITE | /OVERASK ]
[ /CLEAR ] [ /DEMO | /ANSI | /PLAIN ] [ /? ]
where:
"infile" is the name of DEMOSCRS.EXE-created file to process. If you've
tampered with this file in anyway, the DEMOSCRX program will probably crash and
burn.
"outfile" is the name of the output file to create.
"/OVERWRITE" says to overwrite the report file if it's already there.
"/APPEND" says to append to the end of any existing report file.
"/-OVERWRITE" says to abort if the output file exists already.
"/OVERASK" says to prompt if the output file exists already. This is the
default.
"/DELETE" says to delete the input file when you finish.
"/DEMO" says to create an output that is compatible with The DEMO System. If
you choose this option, the program will determine what colors you used and
create the appropriate SET COLOR statements. (It doesn't try to figure out any
SET MONO statements.) If any screen contains more than 8 colors (The DEMO System
maximum), the program resets the extra colors typically as ^C7. The output file
will look something like this:
; -- Start of screen: used 3 colors
SET BASE 0
SET COLOR 071 007 157 070 155 080 087 003
/.
(actual text screens with imbedded ^Cx codes)
./
; -- Start of screen
(next screen)
You will still have to edit this file with a text editor in order to merge in
whatever action codes and page statements you want to use.
"/ANSI" says to create an output file that can be printed on any system that has
the ANSI.SYS (or compatible) device driver loaded. This file will consist of
the text with imbedded ANSI escape and color commands. Normally, ANSI files
have a file extension of .ANS. You can view the output file afterward by saying
"TYPE outfile". Do not copy this file to a printer or the printer will go nuts.
"/PLAIN" says to create an output file without any color indicators at all. It
does not include any statements for The DEMO System at all. You can view the
output file afterward by saying "TYPE outfile". Note that lines going out to 80
characters will show up double-spaced on your screen but normal spaced on a
printer.
