DISPLAY EXE   - Program for displaying hardcopy of folded text
==============================================================

I am given to understand that "makeboo.exe" and "deboo.exe" are well known
public domain MSDOS programs. makeboo converts a file into an ASCII form
suitable for transmission by email.  deboo inverts the process.

I have just acquired copies of makeboo and deboo, and they do indeed seem to
perform as described.

Thus this seems a suitable way to distribute my DISPLAY TDS EXE for listing
folded text. I gather that for those of you on JANET, you should be able to
collect versions of makeboo and deboo from Lancaster if you do not have
copies locally. I have the sources in C available: if need be please
contact me for copies.

The result of applying makeboo to DISPLAY.TOP is DISPLAY.BOO. Since DISPLAY.BOO
is approximately 100K long, I have partitioned it into five files:
DISPLAY1.BOO..DISPLAY5.BOO. When you have copies, you will need to use an
plain ASCII editor to cut off any mail headers, and concatenate to
reconstitute DISPLAY.BOO. I have included a "cut below this line" marker
in each such file to aid this process. Please note that you will have to
delete that marker even if you FTP to avoid headers.

So:-
collect copies of DISPLAY1.BOO..DISPLAY5.BOO; use an editor to remove any
headers and marker lines and generate DISPLAY.BOO;
run "deboo display.boo display.top" on an MSDOS machine. Run a TDS2 or TDS3,
and [ENTER] DISPLAY.TOP. You should enter into folded documentation.

Please let me know if there are any problems!
