- About VB Expressions' Internet Text Translator for Windows
- ---------------------------------------------------------
-
- (Formerly the DOS/Unix Text Translator)
-
- Thanks for downloading the VB Expressions Internet Text Translator,
- Shareware Version 2.00! Texttran (for short) is a Microsoft Windows
- program that allows you to translate UUEncoded (.uue) text files back
- to binary format, DOS-prepared text files to Unix or Macintosh text
- format, and vice versa. It also translates some peculiar double-spaced
- DOS text files from early Netscape Navigator versions to normal DOS text.
- It works with Windows 3.0 and later.
-
- Start Texttran, select your files and translation direction, and go!
- Graphics and programs from your E-mail system will be usable; files
- from your DOS editor will work in your Macintosh or Unix-served
- applications, and Unix or Macintosh files from your file server or the
- Internet will be usable in DOS.
-
- The file you just de-archived, DUTRANS.ZIP, should contain this file
- and the following:
-
- Name Size Date Time
- ------------ -------- -------- --------
- TEXTTRAN.EXE 39246 09-26-96 9:00p
- TEXTTRAN.HLP 50724 09-26-96 9:00p
- UUCODER.VBX 22272 04-19-96 6:40p
- CMDIALOG.VBX 18688 04-28-93 12:00a
-
- Please see the Windows Help file TEXTTRAN.HLP for complete Installation
- and Operations instructions. If you have associated .HLP files with the
- Windows Help application, just double-click on TEXTTRAN.HLP in the File
- Manager; otherwise run WINHELP.EXE and open TEXTTRAN.HLP using the "File"
- menu.
-
- One additional support file is required to use the VB Expressions Internet
- Text Translator: VBRUN300.DLL, the runtime module for Visual Basic 3.0. If
- you use any other Visual Basic 3.0 programs, you have this file, probably
- in your \WINDOWS or \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. Otherwise, VBRUN300.DLL is
- available from the same BBS, on-line system or software distributor where
- you obtained DUTRANS.ZIP.
-
