DIZ2EXE

ABOUT DIZ2EXE

DIZ2EXE is a utility that allows you to convert single screen page text files (80 characters x 25 characters) to an executable program. This program is called DIZ2EXE because a text file of this type is often referred to as a DIZ file (short for description). The program created by DIZ2EXE is a Windows program, thus the program generated will not run in DOS mode since windows is required.

USAGE

DIZ2EXE is a console program (even though its output is a pure windows style program). Thus, put DIZ2EXE in your path or in a directory in which you intend to use it. You run DIZ2EXE from the command line. Below is an example of its use:

DIZ2EXE hello.diz hello.exe

The first parameter (hello.diz) is the name of the .DIZ file (or any text file type document such as a .TXT file) to be converted to an executable. The second parameter (hello.exe) is the name of the executable to be created. DIZ2EXE does not automatically add any extensions (i.e. .DIZ, .TXT, .EXE), so you’ll have to make sure you use them. Once the executable is created, you can run that executable file like any other program. Below is another example:

DIZ2EXE read.me readme.exe

Again, the first parameter (read.me) is the name of the text file to be converted. The second parameter is the name of the executable to be created. This example will make a file called README.EXE.
