Background
──────────
I have one utility here, written by someone else that translates
Telegard's `xx style color codes, but it doesn't make any mention
to the |xx style. So, I figured, I'd rather have a utility that
I wrote myself, so, I wrote this one.
What it does
────────────
PipeType simply reads the file that you tell it on the command
line and displays it to the screen with the color codes translated
for you. It will also pause the screen at 24 lines if the /P
command line parameter is used.
Requirements
────────────
PipeType requires the following;
100% IBM Compatible Computer
8086/88 or above CPU
MS-DOS v4.00 or Compatible
Installation & Operation
────────────────────────
Just unzip this package in to directory in your path and you're
done. You can now run PipeType from any directory on your computer!
Command Lines?
PipeType FILENAME.EXT /P
The file name MUST be the complete file name, including the
extension.
The /P parameter tells PipeType to pause at 24 lines (assuming
you are using 80x25 screen mode in dos, the screen is pretty
much full).
Special Thanks
──────────────
Doug Reynolds - For the TGCOLOR.TPU code, this made the
translation of the color codes possible.
