- FREE vs REGISTERED
-
- This file will document some of the differences that exist between the FREE
- version of T2A, and the REGISTERED version.
-
- 1. Files:
- The free version takes your template file and creates an
- Ansi version of it. You still need to make an Ascii version,
- with no codes (for BBS use). The enhanced version will take your
- template file and create both an Ansi =and= an Ascii output file.
-
- 2. Colors:
- The free version has 16 foreground combinations and 7 background
- combinations. Background colors have to be changed using a color
- code, for each change. For instance, if you want to go from
- BRIGHT WHITE on MAGENTA to BRIGHT WHITE on CYAN, you have to
- code it as such:
- @022@016 Bright_White_on_Magenta_Text @020@016 Bright_White_on_Cyan^@020@001
- Black_On_Cyan_Text and turn off Bright Color.
- Basically, a whole lot more typing.
-
- The enhanced version has a total of 96 color codes, background and
- foreground can be changed in one code. To accomplish the same as
- above you would:
- @095 Bright_White_On_Magenta_Text @063 Bright_White_On_Cyan_Text @048
- Black_On_Cyan_Text.
-
- In the enhanced version the ^ is only used to turn on the
- blinking attribute, the ` is no longer needed. The blinking
- attribute is automatically turned off with each new color.
- In the enhanced version the BLINK switch (^) is placed directly
- after the color code you want to blink. This is explained
- further in the Enhanced version documentation.
- Bottom line = MUCH less typing and confusion!
- Bright colors on and off are handled in the color code itself!
-
- 3. Documentation:
- The enhanced version has a more in depth documentation, and
- goes into more detail on the workings of the ansi codes.
-
- 4. Comming:
- Am currently working on adding code to also create an AVATAR
- output file. All registered users will be advised of this updated
- release, or any other updates. The file will be available to
- registered users on the BBS at that time.
-
- Having used both the early version(s), and of course the newest ones,
- belive me when I say the enhanced version is much better!
-
- But again, version 1.2 is free........it's totally up to you.
-
- REMINDER: The codes supplied in COLORS15.REF will NOT work correctly
- with ver 1.2
