Short: Must-have replacement for TxtExtract!
Author: mics@rummelplatz.uni-mannheim.de
Uploader: mics@rummelplatz.uni-mannheim.de
Type: comm/bbs

Textract v1.o by dRm! / 1oo% CNet Anscii Design
- -- --- ----------------------------------------------- --- -- -
Function: Extracts/adds File_ID.diz from/to Textfiles. Decent replacement
for TxtExtract, no trashing of Textfiles when adding Diz!
I suppose you know which purpose this program fulfils. I rather want to
tell you something about the motivation of writing a replacement for a
program which already exists and is used for quite a long time, namely
TXTextract by Spy/Mystic/XDesign. This program does its job quite well,
until the following occurs: you want to add a changed (or new) File_ID.diz
to a textfile which already contains a description. In most of the cases
the file gets totally trashed. And as it seems the author of TXTextract
will never fix that bug, I wrote this small replacement (in C code), which
is 1oo% compatible regarding the supported functions ('a', 'e', and 'f').
