I can send ANZI.ZIP, which is just the executables and the batch which calls them. I just found a reformatting tool which is not yet tried, but could add that, so that anyone could take any ascii text, and the ANZI tool set could take that input, convert it into the 39char format, and then display it on the 50x80 vga. Or- offer a variation for those of limited vision, which uses the 25x40 screen. I dunno how much demand there would be for that. I've considered trying to make a 43x132 version that would look much more like the facing pages of a real book, but I dunno if all the variation in video cards would make that feasible. Any bets? I can send NEWOMEN.zip, which is a sample 300 page novel, designed in some ways to take advantage of the presentation format. I make no claims as to the literary merit, and if anyone has suggestions for insertion, deletion, and/or replacement, I'll try to be accomodating. In any case, anyone, who thinks they can do better with it can have a go. It is intended more like a folk tale, without author ownership, subject to modification as time goes on to meet the needs of the times. Since it is *digital*, there is no reason to consider it *fixed* like a printed book edition, any more than any other kind of software. I can send NEWOMEN.EXE, for win 9x users who dont know the difference between a folder and a dos directory, which makes a copy of NWM.BAT in the windows directory so that a GUI user can cope with it. --- Internet Rex 2.29* Origin: The gateway at Capitol City Online (1:2320/105.999) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 @PATH: 2320/105 261/38 123/500 106/2000 633/267 |
