- DVSCR.BTM Version 1.0

-
- DVSCR.BTM is a batch file written in 4dos's batch language, which
- provides an easier and faster interface to DESQView's CONVSCR utility.
- Most of the time, when handling DV's script files, all you want to do
- is to convert a file called ??-scrip.dvs to ??-scrip.txt and back
- (where ?? stand for the two keys used to invoke the program from the
- Open Program menu). However, CONVSCR still requires you to type the
- full pathnames of both the source and the destination files.
- DVSCR.BTM accepts two parameters on the command line - the two "Open
- Program" keys, and the requsted conversion (script to text or text to
- script). Then it uses 4dos "keystack" command to pass the appropriate
- keystrocks to CONVSCR.
- Example of use: Say you want to convert the script you use for Turbo
- Pascal to text. Assuming that the keys you use to invoke the program
- are "TP", the format of DVSCR.BTM would be :
- DVSCR /s tp
- The result of this would be a text file named tp-scrip.txt.
-
- This is the full description of the command line paramters, which can
- be displayed by type : DVSCR /?
-
- Usage : DVSCR options filename
- options : /s convert script file (.dvs) to text file (.txt)
- /t convert text file (.txt) to script file (.scr)
- filename : if the file name is 2 characters long it is first
- assumed to be of the form xx-scrip.[dvs\txt]. if
- such file cannot be found, or if the length of the
- name is more then two characters, the filename is
- treated as a fully qualified name, with an extension
- according to the options setting.
-
- Maybe a little more about the treatment of file names:
- 2 letters long filenames are first assumed to be of the form
- ??-scrip.dvs or ??-scrip.txt (depending weather /t or /s was used). So
- DVSCR tries to locate that file. If it can't find it it assumes that
- your file is really called ??.dvs or ??.txt, and looks for that file.
- If it can't find that either, then it means the file doesn't exist.
- Filenames longer then 2 letters are always assumed to be of the form
- ??????.dvs or ???????.txt.
-
- The CONVSCR utility must be on your path, or in the current directory.
- DVSCR can handle filenames preceded by paths correctly (c:\dv\tp is
- still considered a two letters long filename).
-
- Naturally DVSCR is usefull only if you are using 4dos and DESQView.
- 4Dos and DESQView are both registered trademarks of the companies that
- make them.
-
- This is i guess a freeware. However, I retain all rights to it, and of
- course - disclaim any responsibilty to any consequences of the use of
- this program.
