About VB Expressions DOS/Unix Text Translator --------------------------------------------- Thanks for downloading the VB Expressions DOS/Unix Text Translator, Shareware Version 1.20a! Texttran (for short) is a Microsoft Windows compliant program that allows you to translate DOS-prepared text files to Unix format, and vice versa. It works with Windows 3.0 and later. Start Texttran, select your files and translation direction, and go! Files from your DOS editor will work in your Unix-served applications, and Unix files from your file server or the Internet will be usable in DOS. The file you just de-archived, DUTRANS.ZIP, should contain this file and the following: Name Size Date Time ------------ -------- -------- -------- TEXTTRAN.EXE 22080 02-08-94 11:16p TEXTTRAN.HLP 26633 09-27-94 9:59p CMDIALOG.VBX 18688 04-28-93 12:00a Please see the Windows Help file TEXTTRAN.HLP for complete Installation and Operations instructions. If you have associated .HLP files with the Windows Help application, just double-click on TEXTTRAN.HLP in the File Manager; otherwise run WINHELP.EXE and open TEXTTRAN.HLP using the "File" menu. One additional support file is required to use the VB Expressions DOS/Unix Text Translator: VBRUN300.DLL, the runtime module for Visual Basic 3.0. If you use any other Visual Basic 3.0 programs, you have this file, probably in your \WINDOWS or \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. Otherwise, VBRUN300.DLL is available from the same BBS, on-line system or software distributor where you obtained DUTRANS.ZIP.
