P - S U I T E
P-Suite
is an integrated set of programmes for the production of brighter
and livelier computer text.
Not so long ago texts were plain black & white; docs, instructions, even
disk magazines were alike, plain, visually utterly without interest and
difficult to read.
Led by the disk magazines colour and text-style changes were introduced, and
now even the occasional programme docs show slight signs of life. The chief
barrier to wider introduction of color has been the difficulty of entering the
escape codes needed from normal text editors such as EMACS.
But how many satisfactory
printed
magazine articles do you see without
illustrations ? How many instruction manuals ? How can you possibly do a
proper review of a game or programme without illustrations ? So why should
on-disk articles, instructions, reviews be any different. The excuse is of
course that the necessary software has not been available.
P-SUITE PROVIDES THE SOFTWARE.
P-Suite is based on
P-Reader
a dual mode general display programme.
In one mode it displays normal texts in a similar manner to the many other
readers that are around, decompressing them if compressed. It also has the
ability to show pictures (IFF-ILBM) run animations (ANIM 5) and sounds (8SVX).
In the second mode it can show special text files in which pictures,
animations and sounds are interwoven with text.
The partner to
P-Reader
is
P-Writer
which makes the entry of escape codes for
color and style changes very simple, and helps in the preparation of
illustrated texts.
Once you start including illustrations of any sort the bulk of the file will
increase considerably.
P-Compress
which is the fastest and most efficient
general compression tool available anywhere keeps size under control.
Provided that they obey a few rules, ANIM5 animations from any source can be
used in texts,
P-Animate
is a full 3D animator which will do the job better
than most.
The utility
P-FixLib
patches the operating system so that compressed
executables, libraries, icons can be used as though they were in their normal
uncompressed state
Finally
P-Index
. Finish off your diskmag or programme disk with an index
that is as lively as the text itself and save on disk-space as well.
Come on now. Brighten the place up.
