Mah Jongg -V-G-A- Utilities
for
Version 2.1
-> PAKTIL.COM
-> UNPAKTIL.COM
-> VIEWSET.EXE
The utility files, Mah Jongg -V-G-A-, The Draftsman, and all associated
documentation files are Copyright 1988, 1989 by Ron Balewski. Any
distribution in violation of the PERMISSION TO COPY section of the
MNVGA21 manual shall be treated as a violation of the US Copyright laws.
PAKTIL.COM
This utility will pack all 44 .TIL files and a PAL.CFG file into
one Vnn.TIS tileset file.
To use PAKTIL, you must first be sure that the current subdirectory
contains all necessary .TIL and .CFG files and that PAKTIL.COM is in the
current subdirectory or is accessable thru a PATH (if you don't
understand the DOS PATH command, please consult your DOS manual). Then,
just type PAKTIL.
PAKTIL will NOT overwrite any existing .TIS files. It will look
for any "open space" between V01.TIS and V99.TIS and use this as the
name of the file it creates.
Once PAKTIL successfully generates a .TIS file from the tiles, all
.TIL and PAL.CFG files can be deleted.
UNPAKTIL.COM
UNPAKTIL will take a .TIS tile set file and "break it apart" into
44 .TIL files and one PAL.CFG. The individual files can then be used
with The Draftsman or can be selectively replaced with other tiles.
To use UNPAKTIL, you must first be sure that the current
subdirectory is where you want the .TIL files to go. For ease of use,
UNPAKTIL should also be in the current subdirectory or accessable thru a
PATH (this is not required, however). Then, type:
UNPAKTIL filename.ext
where "filename.ext" is the path (if not current), filename, and
extension of the .TIL file that you wish to split.
VIEWSET.EXE
First, let me apologize for the size of this simple little program.
I'm using a new and far-from-optimized graphics menu library for file
selection and mouse control. It's not the most bug-free library
I've ever used, either. But I bought it, so by God I'm gonna use it!
Besides, it DOES make make programming a lot more convenient, it DOES
look kinda "cool", and it's not TOO terribly buggy!
To use it, first be sure that your current directory contains your
tile set .TIS files. Also be sure that VIEWSET.EXE is available either
directly or thru a path. Then just type VIEWSET.
You'll be given a list of all .TIS files in the current directory.
Just select one by left-clicking on it, then left-click OK to view the
tiles.
You can magnify any of the tiles by left-clicking on it. Then
left-click to return to the tiles screen.
To exit the tiles screen, just right-click (or left-click anywhere
there's not a tile). You'll be returned to the file selection menu
where you'll be able to select another tile set for viewing.
To exit VIEWSET completely, just return to the file selection menu
and left-click CANCEL (or anywhere outside of the menu box).
