Package: makeztxt (1.60-5)

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

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 its components (text, bookmarks, annotations) and store them into separate files.

zTXT databases can be opened by the GPLed WeaselReader program in your Palm (http://gutenpalm.sf.net/)
