- RB2NG.PAS, RB2NG.EXE Version 1.16
-
- Converts the Text Ralf Brown Interrupt Lists into one .NG file for
- use with NG or EH. This program requires the NGML (Norton Guides
- Menu Linker) and the NGC (Norton Guides Compiler). It also requires
- about 20 megabytes of free disk space.
-
- Delete the files
-
- MEMORY.LST
- PORT.LST
- CMOS.LST
- GLOSSARY.LST
- 86BUGS.LST
-
- *if* you do not want them included in the .NG file. Note that the
- format of the files has been changed slightly since this program
- was originally written so they do not all convert properly anymore.
-
- You may delete some of the above files and keep others.
-
- This program has only been tested on release 46 files.
-
- This program is free and I don't take responsibility for any loss
- or damages, etc.. If you find this program useful, a postcard would
- be nice.
-
- If you don't have the NGC or the NGML, you might be able to find a
- copy already compiled in the same place that you found this program.
-
- Simply type
-
- RB2NG
-
- to load the program. Specify the source path, where the text files
-
- INTERRUP.A,B,C...
-
- are to be found.
-
- Then specify an output directory. This could be a temporary
- directory that you have created.
-
- The program reads the text files and creates files that can be
- compiled with the NGC in the specified output directory. It also
- creates a batch file, CRB.BAT, which compiles and links the .NG
- file. Simply type
-
- CRB
-
- in the output directory (with NGC and NGML on the path) and the .NG
- file will be created.
-
- You are welcome to use this program freely but a postcard would be
- appreciated. You are also welcome to fiddle with the source code, as
- long as you don't redistribute the modified code. If you have any
- ideas you would like me to add, simply EMail them to me.
-
- The code requires the Pure Power String Unit Version 1.06. This is
- available at many FTP sites and BBS's as PSSTR106.ZIP.

-
- CONVERT.TXT
-
- RB2NG looks in a file called CONVERT.TXT. In this file are case
- convertions. Because RB2NG converts the all uppercase RB List to
- lowercase, some words are converted incorrectly. For example, BIOS
- becomes Bios. Thus, to fix things like this, CONVERT.TXT contains
-
- Bios|BIOS
-
- which converts the text to the correct word. You may have up to 99
- corrections in the file. Each correction may be no longer than
- 21 letters, that is, 10 letters for each word and the | sign. Make
- sure you copy CONVERT.TXT (with any further additions you have made
- in it) to the directory which has all the INTERRUP.? files.
