    Overview Top || Next

    TextTools is a collection of ASCII text filters and other goodies. Many of the programs process text-format tables, and offer powerful and unique functionality.

    The TextTools programs are Win32 console mode (32-bit) executables. They run on the Windows 95/98/NT/2000 command line ("DOS prompt", "command prompt"), or from batch (.bat, .cmd) files.


    Installation Top || Previous || Next

    TextTools R7 for Win32 (Windows 95/98/NT/2000) is distributed as a file tt32_r7.zip, containing:

          readme.txt       brief introduction (plain ASCII)
          doc_html/*.htm   documentation for the TextTools programs (HTML)
          exe_w32/*.exe    the Win32 console mode executables
    

    To install the programs, extract (using pkzip 2.04g or equivalent) the executables (exe_w32/*.exe) to a directory in your PATH. Or: create a new directory, extract the executables to that directory, and add that directory to your PATH.

    All documentation is in the form of HTML files. To install the documentation, extract all the HTML files (doc_html/*.htm) to a directory on your harddisk. (Make sure you extract them to the same directory, or else the hyperlinks won't work.) To view the documentation, load the file tt.htm into your web-browser (Netscape Navigator 3.0 or better, or MS Internet Explorer 3.0 or better.)

    Important Notes Top || Previous || Next

    All included executables are compiled with asserts etc., to help in catching bugs. This means they run a little slower than they really could.
