TX2 Formatter version 0.1 -- 12/31/90
This program is designed to format different magzines into the TX2
format, until they decide to support the format. This is version 0.1,
and it will only work with Z*Net.
Because they folks at Z*Net don't always format the magazine the
exact same way every issue, this program may not always catch
everything.
When you run the program, the program will ask you if you want to
format it in color. "Yes" means that each of the subtitles will
appear in color 3. A "no" means that the subtitles will appear in
bold. If you are not using Quick ST 2.2, bold is _a lot_ slower than
color text. If you use the program in high resolution, you should
select "no."
The program will then do four passes to format the magazine. It
should be pretty fast. It will save the file in the same directory
with the extender .TX2. It will also save an index file.
I have tried this program with many issues, and most work. Z*Net
changed their format a little in #550, so the formatting doesn't add
as many features.
This program is just for you to have fun with. I will work on a
more advanced version which should not make the mistakes this one
does. Or, better yet, Z*Net will decide to support this format, and
release their issues in TX2 files (as soon as I finish the editor).
If you have any questions, send them to David Holmes
[D.HOLMES14].
