- This program can be copied freely but non for commercial purposes!
-
- AutoList is a simply utility for compress a normal text file into an executable
- and autolisting file.
- Normally, for read a text (ASCII) file you must use an editor program, now with
- AutoList you can convert your text file into an executable, smallest (true only
- for filelenght over 10K) and autolisting file.
- For example, now you are reading this text probably using your prefer editor,
- please exit to DOS and try to convert this text with AutoList, typing:
-
- C:\AUTOLIST AUTOLIST.ENG MANUAL <Enter>
-
- Autolist compress AUTOLIST.DOC and make an executable and autolisting file named
- MANUAL.EXE.
-
- Note that if you don't supply the .EXE exstension in output executable file
- AutoList put it itself.
-
- If you want to see the result just run MANUAL.EXE.
-
- Obviously, with this small file AutoList produce an executable largest because
- for every file there is an overhead of 8 Kbyte due the decompression and listing
- routine.
-
- AutoList was made for my own, it can be copied freely but not sold at all!!!!
-
- In the executable file you can specify the metode that the listing routine
- use to write on the screen (default it write directly in Video RAM).
- The option are:
-
- /b write using Video BIOS call.
- /c write waiting retrace in old CGA
-
- As support I have written UNAL.EXE a program for extract the compressed text
- from an AutoList EXE file.
-
- Enjoy!
-
- PS: Excuse for my 'english' but I think that you prefer this rather than
- italian doc!
