NAME

makeztxt - Create zTXT databases from ASCII files to read them in a Palm

SYNOPSIS

makeztxt --help
makeztxt [-hlLnV] [-A annofile] [-a adjust] [-b line_length] [-m markfile]
[-o outfile] [-R regexfile] [-r regex] [-t title] [-z comp_type] input

OPTIONS

Please note that "input" refers to one and only one file - makeztxt cannot operate on multiple files at once.

-A, --annofile

file containing zTXT annotations

-a, --adjust

method for linefeed stripping (0, 1, 2, defaults to 0)

0

strip linefeeds for lines longer than length

1

strip linefeed if line has any text

2

no linefeed stripping

-b, --length

lines longer than this get linefeed stripped

-h, --help

this help

-l, --list

list regex generated bookmarks

-L, --launchable

set the launchable bit in the output DB

-m, --markfile

list of bookmarks to use in zTXT

-n, --nobackup

do not set the backup bit in the DB

-o, --output

output file to be created

-R, --regexfile

file containing list of regex to use

-r, --regex

do a regex search for bookmarks

-t, --title

title of database

-V, --version

makeztxt version

-z, --compression

method of compression (1 or 2)

1

allow random access (default)

2

one big data stream (10%-15% more compression)

DESCRIPTION

makeztxt is a simple commandline program that takes a plain ASCII text file and compresses it into a zTXT database. makeztxt will remove newline characters at the end of lines that contain text so that the paragraphs flow better on the Palm screen. makeztxt supports the use of regular expressions to automatically generate a list of bookmarks for you. Lastly, makeztxt can also break an existing zTXT file into it's components (text, bookmarks, annotations) and store them into separate files for you.

FEATURES

Creates zTXT databases

Deconstructs zTXT databases into component pieces

Use regular expression to automatically generate bookmarks

Includes libztxt, a small C library, so you can easily add zTXT creation or disection to your program

Create zTXTs that allow on-demand decompression, or get 10% - 15% more compression with the original style zTXT.

Read regular expressions from a config file (.makeztxtrc)
