-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to make TextWeasel as useful as possible. Since this
is its first release, there may be a few bugs left. I have spent
many hours (days) making TextWeasel relatively crash-proof and
bug-free, but it is likely that some bugs still remain. If you
encounter any bugs or have any comments, suggestions, or ideas
concerning future releases, please write me at the address below:

If you are the author of a shareware product and you find Text-
Weasel useful, please send me a registered version of your latest
shareware product(s) in exchange.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The general operation of TextWeasel is very simple: Selecting any
of TextWeasel's text operation gadgets will invoke a file requester
that allows the user to select a source file, followed by another
requester for selection of a destination file. Other requesters
may follow for operations that require the user to select options
or enter needed info. After the text conversion is complete, an
information window appears to echo any relevant information to the
user.
Documentation for all of TextWeasel's functions is available from
within the program by clicking the HELP gadget.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I use kickstart 2.04 but did not want to make TextWeasel depend
on any particular kickstart version. To provide requesters for
both 1.3 and 2.0 users, I used reqtools.library by Nico François.
TextWeasel requires reqtools.library V37 or higher to be in the
libs: directory. Seperate version of reqtools.library exist for
1.3 and 2.0; both are included in the original TW distribution.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The original TextWeasel distribution includes two CLI commands
named RmCtrl and AddCR. These provide two of TextWeasel's most
common operations for those not interested in a large intuition-
based interface such as TextWeasel.
The source code is not included in the TextWeasel distribution
because I don't want to waste anyone's time or money by includ-
ing something that almost no one looks at. The source is 82K.
TextWeasel uses 10K buffers for both input and output files to
maximize performance (especially useful for floppy drive users),
but if you use a single floppy I still recommend having either
the source or the destination in RAM.
