-
- I would like to make TextWeasel as useful as possible. Since this
- is its first release, there may be a few bugs left. I have spent
- many hours (days) making TextWeasel relatively crash-proof and
- bug-free, but it is likely that some bugs still remain. If you
- encounter any bugs or have any comments, suggestions, or ideas
- concerning future releases, please write me at the address below:

- If you are the author of a shareware product and you find Text-
- Weasel useful, please send me a registered version of your latest
- shareware product(s) in exchange.

-
- The general operation of TextWeasel is very simple: Selecting any
- of TextWeasel's text operation gadgets will invoke a file requester
- that allows the user to select a source file, followed by another
- requester for selection of a destination file. Other requesters
- may follow for operations that require the user to select options
- or enter needed info. After the text conversion is complete, an
- information window appears to echo any relevant information to the
- user.
-
- Documentation for all of TextWeasel's functions is available from
- within the program by clicking the HELP gadget.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- I use kickstart 2.04 but did not want to make TextWeasel depend
- on any particular kickstart version. To provide requesters for
- both 1.3 and 2.0 users, I used reqtools.library by Nico François.
- TextWeasel requires reqtools.library V37 or higher to be in the
- libs: directory. Seperate version of reqtools.library exist for
- 1.3 and 2.0; both are included in the original TW distribution.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The original TextWeasel distribution includes two CLI commands
- named RmCtrl and AddCR. These provide two of TextWeasel's most
- common operations for those not interested in a large intuition-
- based interface such as TextWeasel.
-
- The source code is not included in the TextWeasel distribution
- because I don't want to waste anyone's time or money by includ-
- ing something that almost no one looks at. The source is 82K.
-
- TextWeasel uses 10K buffers for both input and output files to
- maximize performance (especially useful for floppy drive users),
- but if you use a single floppy I still recommend having either
- the source or the destination in RAM.
