- ABOUT
- -----
- DIZ2EXE is a utility that allows you to convert single screen
- page text files (80 characters x 25 characters) to an executable
- program. The reason this program is called DIZ2EXE is a text file of
- this type is often referred to as a DIZ file (short for description).
- The program created by DIZ2EXE is a Win32 Windows program. The program
- generated will not run in DOS mode since windows is required; the
- output created is designed for the native windows environment.
-
- USEAGE
- ------
- DIZ2EXE is a console program (even though its output is a pure
- windows style program). Thus, put DIZ2EXE in your path or in a
- directory in which you intend to use it. You run DIZ2EXE from the
- command line. Below is an example of its use:
-
- DIZ2EXE hello.diz hello.exe
-
- The first parameter (hello.diz) is the name of the .DIZ file (or any
- text file type document such as a .TXT file) to be converted to an
- executable. The second parameter (hello.exe) is the name of the
- executable to be created. DIZ2EXE does not automatically add any
- extensions (i.e. .DIZ, .TXT, .EXE), so youÆll have to make sure you use
- them. Once the executable is created, you can run that executable file
- like any other program. Below is another example:
-
- DIZ2EXE read.me readme.exe
-
- Again, the first parameter (read.me) is the name of the text file to be
- converted. The second parameter is the name of the executable to be
- created. This example will make a file called README.EXE.
