- A2C is the command line version of Asc2Com and can be used in batch
- files just as any other command line program can. You do not have
- to see any of the switches for A2C--it will automatically read the
- configuration file generated for Asc2Com and proceed from there.
- It's advantage is that it's a bit fasters, individual switches CAN
- be set, and DOS masking characters such as "?" and "*" can be used.
-
- Probably the most useful difference is that A2C has NO restrictions
- on either the colors or the characters used. That is to say, in
- Asc2Com, you CANNOT pick a color combination for a marking color
- that is blinking. It was an oversight on my part, but I've decided
- not to attack the problem by changing Asc2Com. Also, you are
- limited to the marking characters provided in the dialog box in
- Asc2Com--not so in A2C. You can set them to what ever character
- you wish. Indeed, to generate this file, the following Command
- Line was used:
-
- C> A2C A2CDOC.TXT /LL /M105 /M205 /MM05 /MH05 /MA04 /MC05
-
- This effectively shut down the marking of text with colors because
- there are no HEX 5 characters in the file.
-
-
- Syntax: from the command line (assuming your in the root directory
- of drive d).
-
-
- D> a2c [filename|?|r] { {/L{C|F|A|L|W|P}} {|}
- {/F{S|[U/L]|P[+/-][#]|T[#]} {|}
- {/C{M|H|S|A|C}[#]} {|}
- {/M{M|1|2|H|S|A|C}[#]} ...{ }...{ } ...
-
- []: indicates required.
- {}: indicates chose from list.
- | : or
- {|}: and/or
- r: show registration information.
- ?: show the syntax
-
- General Points: Order is immaterial--it doesn't matter if a "/L"
- switch is first or last. You may have as many of each type of
- switch as you can cram on the DOS command line. (It's a little
- pointless to put more than 1 "/L" switch--only the last one will
- have effect).
-
- /L: Lister Type:
-
- C : Compressed Lister
- F : Full Lister
- A : Page Lister
- L : Lite Lister
- W : Wide Lister
- P : Printer Lister
-
-
- /F: Filter Options
- S : Strip Low ASCII Values
- Strips all ASCII values below 32
- (except CR, LF, Tab) out of the file.
- U : Make Upper Case. (Can't Use with an L).
- Makes the text file all upper case.
- L : Make Lower Case. (Can't Use with an U).
- Makes the text file all lower case.
- P : Pad the Left side with (+/-) # spaces.
- NOTE: All numbers are in Hexidecimal.
- That is, base 16, and MUST take 2 or
- more digits. I.E. if you wanted to pad
- with +7 spaces, you would use #="07".
- 16 spaces would be #="10".
- T : Set the Column Tab width (in the Wide Lister
- only), to #. Again, a hex number. If
- you wanted to set it to 20 (decimal),
- you'd use #="14".
-
- /C Color Options
- M : Set the Main Screen Color. The structure of
- the entire switch is as follows:
- /CM#, where # is a Hexidecimal number.
- The first hex digit is the background
- color, the second is the foreground
- color. For a Black Screen, with a
- yellow forground, you would use #="0E".
- H : Set the Help Screen color.
- S : Set the Status Line color.
- A : Set the 1st Accent Line color.
- C : Set the 2nd Accent Line color.
-
- /M Marking Options
- M : Set the main screen marking color.
- The structure of the switch is exactly
- the same as for the Color switch.
- /MM0FF would set the main screen
- marking char to a hex 0ff, or 255
- decimal.
-
- NOTE: this switch is reserved for future
- use and is NOT active in this version.
-
- 1 : Set the first TagLine marking character.
- (By default, this would be the F2
- TagLine).
- 2 : Set the second TagLine marking character.
- H : Set the Help color marking character.
- S : Set the Status Line color marking character.
- A : Set the 1st Accent color marking character.
- C : Set the 2nd Accent color marking character.
