The following are brief descriptions of the programs. See
the appropriate DOC files for more detailed descriptions.
VIET.COM:
VIE^'T is a somewhat Wordstar-like text editor for Vietnamese\.
It runs on MS-\DOS machines, and requires CGA (or compatible, such
as EGA, VGA, etc.) graphics. Output is via dot-matrix printers
(see VLASER for laser printing). It uses micro-spacing
bit-mapped technology to produce near-letter-quality output even
on non-NLQ printers.
All VIE^'T commands are summarized on the help screen (Press
F1 inside VIE^'T to read). One major improvement for this version
is the ability for user-\defined keys (ALT F1 to set up).
VLASER.EXE:
VLASER is the laser printing portion of VIET. It allows you
to format the page and select different fonts, pitches, line
spacings, etc. Four laser fonts are supplied: COURIER,
PRESTIGE, PALATINO and CHANCERY\.
VLASER can be used to print output files of VIET or VMORE\.
Usage: vlaser [filename] (the filename is optional; if not
supplied, the previously used filename will be assumed).
VMORE\.EXE:
This is a utility like Unix' "more", but takes pseudo-
Vietnamese as input. This utility allows you to read Vietnamese
messages that have been electronically mailed to you, or posted
on a computer network. It also performs conversions between VIE^'T
files and these other data formats to allow you to electronically
mail or post files written with VIE^'T.
Executing VMORE without any parameter will display a help
message to guide you through it.
AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH VIET, VLASER & VMORE:
Having a file named TEXT.SCV which you have received as
electronic mail (e\.g, from viet-net) or downloaded from a news
group, such as soc.culture\.vietnamese (SCV)
VMORE TEXT.SCV TEXT.VT (read the file, put result in TEXT.VT)
VLASER TEXT.VT (print out a copy of TEXT.VT on the
Laserjet)
VIET TEXT.VT (edit the file for a reply, print it out on a
dot-matrix printer, or compose a new message;
e\.g., REPLY\.VT)
VLASER REPLY\.VT (print a copy of the new message on
the Laserjet)
VMORE -P REPLY\.VT REPLY\.SCV (convert reply to SCV format for
posting, use -PN if you don't want to view
the output)
LSDESIGN.COM, PRDESIGN.COM, SCDESIGN.COM:
These three utilities allow you to modify or create laser,
dot-matrix, and screen fonts, respectively\. Please read the file
DESIGN.DOC for instructions on usage\.
