DESCRiPTiON - X·Type reads color codes from most file types and outputs them
to the screen. In addition, you can specify a baud rate and
X·Type will simulate mathematically the specified baud rate.
Remember: This is an IDEAL baud rate, not the one you may get
with your modem. Due to line noise, untrue 28.8 connections,
etc., you may get slightly different results. However, it's
close enough.
-<Usage> ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────--
XTYPE <FileName> <BaudRate> <Flags>
When entering flags, leave a space between each one. X·Type would register
the following... 'XTYPE FILENAME.EXT /1/P/C/H' ...as just lowercase all
text. Recap:
CORRECT - XTYPE FILENAME.EXT /3 /C /H
INCORRECT - XTYPE FILENAME.EXT /3/C/H
CORRECT - XTYPE FILENAME.EXT 14400
INCORRECT - XTYPE 14400 /3 FILENAME.EXT
CORRECT - XTYPE FILENAME.EXT 28800 /P
INCORRECT - XTYPE FILENAME.EXT /C /H 2400
CORRECT - XTYPE FILENAME.*
- XTYPE \SUBDIR\FILE?.*
-<FileName> ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────--
Any Text, Ansi, AnsiMated, Renegade, PCBoard, or WildCat File.
( EX: AUTOEXEC.BAT · PCBOARD.PCB · *.ANS )
-<BaudRate> ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────--
Any Number Greater than 0 and less than 1.7e28 (Leave blank for No Delay)
( EX: 300 · 1200 · 2400 · 9600 · 14400 · 28800 · 156700 )
-<Flags> ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────--
X·Type can also display files using certain attributes.
/1 - Lowercase all text. ( EX: lowercase all text )
/2 - Uppercase all text. ( EX: UPPERCASE ALL TEXT )
/3 - 'K-Rad' Set #1. (Mild) ( EX: K-RaD SeT #1 )
/4 - 'K-Rad' Set #2. (Spicy) ( EX: K·R4D S3T #2 )
/? - Extended Help. ( EX: XTYPE /? )
/P - Pause after each screen. ( EX: XTYPE FILENAME.EXT /P )
/C - Start with blank screen. ( EX: XTYPE FILENAME.EXT /C )
/H - Hide the cursor. ( EX: XTYPE FILENAME.EXT /H )
/S - Display SAUCE Information ( EX: XTYPE FILENAME.EXT /S )
/X - Max out cursor speed ( IE: Put 'XTYPE /X' in your
autoexec to rid yourself
of the ever-annoying
slow cursor. )
-<While Viewing> ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────--
'P' - Pause
<While Paused>
ESC - Disable Pause.
Any Other Key - Break
