- MakeScroll combines the screen display code in the file MS.DAT with your
- text file to create a self-displaying text file.
-
- [WARNING: If you did not get this file directly from Public (software) Library,
- or some other source that you trust to have really tested it, you
- should be wary of running this program. It would be too easy for
- some one to turn this into a virus and PsL has no way of controlling
- that.]
-
- Features:
-
- - zeroes high bits so that WordStar files can be read without conversion.
- Unfortunately, this means that ASCII line-drawing characters will not
- be displayed properly.
-
- - allows printing of control characters using (^)
-
- - page breaks can be forced with (~)
-
- - literals of (^) and (~) can be entered if preceded by (%).
- Enter %% to get a single a literal %.
-
- - Issues a "[More]" every 23 lines; when you type a character
- the [More] is blanked out and doesn't waste a line on the
- screen. Type ^C to exit.
-
- *****
-
- To use, enter MS <text file name> <COM file name>
-
- For example, to make TEST.TXT into a self-displaying file named README.COM,
- enter
- MS TEST.TXT README.COM
