*********** * LYR2TXT * *********** What does it do ? ----------------- This small utility allows you to convert a standard lyric file to a text with ANSI escape codes, in order to make it more readable. What is a standard file ? ------------------------- Well, it's a file containing lyrics... This kind of file can be recognized easily because it contains strings like @ALBUM: and @SONG:. You can find some of them on Internet at 131.210.1.4 (that's the site where I have found some to test my program). Installing Lyr2txt ------------------ Easy : just put Lyr2txt where you want. You must have Ixemul.library if you want to launch the program. Usage ----- From CLI : Lyr2txt Ex : Lyr2txt Forever.Young Ram:Try If you don't use correct number of arguments or if input file does not exist Lyr2txt will display an error message. If output file already exists it will be overwritten. By the way, input file can't be also output file. If you do that Lyr2txt will have a strange behavior. History ------- April 1995 Version 1.0 First release Disclaimer ---------- Lyr2txt has been tested on an A1200 and worked fine. I can't be responsible if it causes damages on your system. Distribution ------------ Lyr2txt is FREEWARE but I keep a copyright on it. You can diffuse it freely if the archive remains intact and if you don't put a virus in it. I allow Aminet, Fred Fish, Funet and other public domain organisations or Amiga magazines to include this program in their collections (floppy disk or CD ROM), if the price of the support is normal. France Festival Distribution WILL NEVER BE ALLOWED to diffuse it.

To do ----- If I have enough time I'll improve the interface and the output text.
