SCROLLTEXT CONVERTER
Attention all of those people who have to write massive scrolltexts!
Do you hate having to stop every few lines and write M$=M$+" or
TEX$=TEX$+" to carry on with your messages? Well, those days are over.
On this disk is a small program which reads in an ASCII file and
converts it into a list of M$=M$+" or whatever. This is then saved as
an ASCII file ready to be imported into STOS. Here's what you do:
First of all, you are presented with a file selector. Choose which
document file you wish to convert (must be ASCII).
The program asks you the name of the string you wish to use, and the
starting line number. For example, you may want to contain your
scrolltext in TEXT$, starting at line 4500.
Then, you are asked for the destination filename .ASC
The program writes out the file and starts again. Next, load up your
demo, and type LOAD "SCROLLER.ASC" or whatever you called your message,
et voila!
More avid demo coders may wish to put their text into a memory bank for
quicker access. No problem! Another source file on the disk loads in an
ASCII file and writes it into a memory bank, then BSAVEs it.
Hopefully, these two programs will help to make scrolltext-writing a
much simpler task!
