About Internet Text Translator for Windows 95
---------------------------------------------
Thanks for downloading the VB Expressions Internet Text Translator 95,
Shareware Version 1.55! Texttran (for short) is a Microsoft Windows 95
program that allows you to translate DOS-prepared text files to Unix
or Macintosh text format, and vice versa. It also translates some
peculiar double-spaced DOS text files from certain Internet sources
to normal DOS text. It works with Windows 95 ONLY! (Windows NT 3.51 with
the Windows 95 shell may work as well.)
Start Texttran, select your files and translation direction, and go!
Files from your DOS editor will work in your Macintosh or Unix-served
applications, and Unix or Macintosh files from your file server or the
Internet will be usable in DOS.
The file you just de-archived, ITT95.ZIP, contains this file and all
files necessary for Windows 95 setup. Decompress the files into an
empty directory on your hard disk, and use the "Add/Remove Programs"
icon in your Windows 95 Control Panel to setup the program. After
setting up the program, consult the Help file for more details.
This archive contains most (if not all!) the runtime files needed for
Visual Basic 4.0 32-bit applications. Installing this program will
enable you to use other VB4 programs, without having to download the
large runtimes.
