NS_Text V0.6 -----------------------------------------------------------------

NS_Text is designed to complement Turbo Power's B-Tree Filer and the Borland
functions, procedures, types, constants, and variables by adding text
capabilities in the form of an extendable object. There is nothing new inside 
NS_Text that you can not already accomplish with Turbo Pascal - the difference
is in the way text files and / or devices can be treated as separate entities 
(instances). This relives the programmer of the parameter and error checking 
maintenance - allowing him to concentrate on the functionality of the program.
It also allows him to create persistent objects via collections and streams.

NS_Text.Zip contains:
   * NS_Text.Pas    Contains the 'TTextFile' object
   * TestText.Pas   A very simple example program
   * ReadMe.Txt     This file
   * Documentation:
     * NS_Text.Wri  Windows Write format
     * NS_Text.Doc  Word for Windows format
     * NS_Text.Dot  Word for Windows 5.5" x 8.5" document template
     The documentation use Bitstream typefaces. If you don't have 
     Bitstream Facelift or FontWare on your system - no problem!
     The typefaces will convert to the closest match Windows can 
     provide with its standard typefaces. If you are using Adobe
     Type Manager, the Bitstream typefaces remap to Adobe's Postscript
     typefaces quite nicely.

If you would like a typeset copy of the NS_Text.Txt booklet (5.5 x 8.5 form 
factor to fit into a 3-ring slip-case binder) send $7.50 to:
