- Long description:
-
- Bigtext turns ordinary text files into self-contained, self-
- displaying executable files capable of displaying full colour
- illustrations in body of the text. This program is specifically
- designed to make self-displaying books, manuals, documents, and
- catalogues. The difference between Bigtext and similar programs
- is that it can handle genuinely BIG volumes of text (up to 700kb
- or more) and that it creates a single, neat and convenient
- executable file. Defining a menu, or a table of contents, and
- defining a customized information screen is easy. The text
- viewer programs you make are complete with a fast "find" feature
- which enables you to quickly find and go to any portion of the
- text. You can compress text during conversion to save both
- memory and disk space, enable or disable printing permission for
- a measure of security, and specify titles and screen colours.
- Bigtext can automatically run your favourite .exe file
- compressor and then helpfully test runs the final product for
- you. You can also execute other programs from within your
- electronic books - great for demos or graphic illustrations.
- Bigtext comes with Text Paint and Text Capture utilities.
-
- If you have written a book but have not yet managed to have it
- published, this program is for you. You can turn your book into
- a single program which will fit on a 360k disk which you can
- distribute to your friends and interested parties.
-
- Bigtext is also perfect for catalogues, with over fifty section
- entries available on the main menu.
-
- Software developers can make self-displaying manuals for their
- programs. This minimizes complexity for the user and adds a
- level of security to the information.
