TxtPager.EXE

TxtPager.EXE is Copyright (C) 1993 by Gene Fowler and is not public domain
software, involving Borland's copyrights as well as my own. You may use Txt-
Pager.EXE without paying a licensing fee, and pass it along to others if
you do not sell it or charge a fee beyond reasonable costs for getting it del-
ivered and that you include this file with the .EXE file. If you make a $15
donation to the "workbench" fund, I'll send you the improved version when
there is one.

There is no warranty, real or imaginable, of any kind on this software. I
don't see any conceivable harm, electronic, physical or moral, that can follow
from running the program or using its data, but if you're inventive enough to
do harm with it, you'll have to sue yourself.

TxtPager takes a file name (with any path included in the name) and reads the
file, counting lines in the file. It tells you how many lines (not bytes) are
in the file, and asks how many lines you want in a page (filename.pt(n).
It makes as many pages (.pt1, pt2, ... .pt(n)) as it takes given your lines
per file and one for the remainder. These are in the same directory as the
original file. Editors or Environments that accept multiple files, but each
with a 64K limit require such a utility. ASMEnv, an ASM IDE, has a wired-in
"paging" system that's so useful that it makes sense to split even small files
for quick multiple site working.

TxtPager lists the files it is making, so you know the set of file names you
are working with.

When you want to recombine your pages, use exactly the same command line you
did for the paging, if you have a command stack. The filename you give is the
original file. When TxtPager opens, you press j for join instead of s for
split. The partials are "added in" and you're kept informed of the progress on
the screen. In ASMEnv, for instance, I have TxtPager on ^F7. The key brings up
a param box for the filename. I put in the filename, hit OK, and s in Txt-
Pager. I then load the pages into my "desktop." If I modify a page, I save it.
When I'm ready, say, to assemble, link and test the program, I hit ^F7, OK, and
j in TxtPager. The original file is rebuilt from the updrated pages and I'm
ready to press F9 to run the assembler.
