Freedom Of Press, And any other civil liberty we can exploit. ????????????????????????A Real CHEAP TxT2CoM Utility?????????????????????????? Yes, this is another boring issue by GHoST but for you people who really feel like making another stupid thing then here is "Poor Man's TxT2CoM Utility"... Pretty much a batch file that attaches some data to the front and back of a text file so it can display... Okay so you'll need a text editor and DEBUG... Most of you lamers will say "He I don't have debug"... IT COMES WITH DOS! IN DIRECTORY \DOS and if you still can't find it and it really is on your hard drive then you are a complete LOSER! Okay now that we got that over with, type in the following text and save it as DATA.SCR (it's your debug script). ????SCRIPT START???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? n FRONT.DAT e 0100 B8 00 00 BE 5B 01 C6 06 e 0108 5A 01 00 AC 3C FF 74 30 e 0110 3C 09 75 0A B4 09 BA 44 e 0118 01 CD 21 EB 03 90 CD 29 e 0120 3C 0D 74 09 80 3E 5A 01 e 0128 18 74 08 EB DE FE 06 5A e 0130 01 EB F1 B4 09 BA 4D 01 e 0138 CD 21 B4 00 CD 16 EB C6 e 0140 B4 4C CD 21 20 20 20 20 e 0148 20 20 20 20 24 0D 0A C4 e 0150 B4 50 41 55 53 45 C3 C4 e 0158 0D 24 00 rcx 5b w n END.DAT e 0100 FF rcx 1 w q ????SCRIPT END?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? That wasn't that hard was it? Okay next make your data files using debug like this: DEBUG < DATA.SCR The next thing you have to do is type in this batch file... Type in the batch file below and save it as TXT2COM.BAT ????BATCH FILE START???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? @echo off ECHO Txt2Com Utility -Copyright(C)1993 Orange Cats Are Pretty- IF NOT EXIST FRONT.DAT GOTO MISSINGF IF NOT EXIST END.DAT GOTO MISSINGE IF "%1"=="" GOTO HELP IF "%2"=="" GOTO HELP IF NOT EXIST %1.TXT GOTO NOTFOUND ECHO. ECHO Working... COPY /B FRONT.BIN+%1.TXT+END.BIN %2.COM > NUL IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO ERROR ECHO Finished... GOTO END :MISSINGF ECHO. ECHO ERROR: Missing support file FRONT.DAT GOTO END :MISSINGE ECHO. ECHO ERROR: Missing support file END.DAT GOTO END :NOTFOUND ECHO. ECHO ERROR: Error opening file %1.TXT GOTO END :ERROR ECHO. ECHO ERROR: Cannot create file or file not found... GOTO END :HELP ECHO This utility will convert a standard TXT file to a .COM file... The .COM ECHO file will display the text found in your text file when run... ECHO. ECHO USAGE: Txt2Com [textfilename] [comoutputname] ECHO. ECHO Do NOT include the file extensions in either names or the files will not ECHO be recognized and you may not recieve a result executable file. ECHO. :END ????BATCH FILE END?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? So now all you have to do to make and of your text files into COM files is type TXT2COM <textfilename> <comfilename> without the extensions... Now revision history of the utility... Basically its revision of the DAT files. Anyway, The original utility would display all text until it encountered a dollar sign... The second revision would display all text perfectly, even dollar signs... The third revision displays text through a un-documented fast charactar display mode, except it didn't support TAB (char 9) codes... Last, The fourth revision- fast charactar display, Tab code support, Ansi support, and also PAUSE so your whole file won't scroll by all at once...
