Recently, a Founder Electronic Publishing System (DOS) Extension Toolkit 1.02 was discovered on the Internet. This is a free extension for Founder 6.x or 7.x systems. The entire archive is only 353KB. This toolkit is just an extension toolkit for the Founder Edition system, and thus requires at least one set of genuine 6.x or 7.x systems already installed on the machine. If you don't have a 6.x or 7.x system, it doesn't make sense to just install the toolkit.
1 Installation and setup
With the continuous upgrading of the hardware system, there is almost no DOS operating system computer. Although the Founder 6.x or 7.x system is a typesetting system developed for the DOS operating environment at the time, it can also be run on the Windows 98 operating system (see the author's December 2001 article on the installation method. The paper "Founder Edition System in Windows 98" in "Printing Technology", Issue 276. Although this expansion kit can also be installed in the DOS operating system, its main purpose is to improve the usability and ease of use of the Founder 6.x or 7.x systems installed in the Windows 98 operating system. It is an automatic decompression installation program, it is very simple and convenient to install in Windows98, it can be automatically installed in the "C:\HG" path and complete the registration in the system registry. It is also because it is automatically installed under the "C:\HG" path, so it is best to make a backup of the original book system before installation.
After the installation is complete, we can see a new icon on the desktop named "Founder Edition". Double-click this icon to display a new HG4 operation interface as shown in Figure 1.
In this new HG4 interface, we can see that the original "edit" module has been enhanced as a "file" module, and the functions of the "layout" and "tools" modules have also undergone very significant changes. At present, some of the less commonly used modules, such as "print" and "charts" and "distribution" modules have disappeared from this new interface, making the new interface is very simple. The only downside is that the interface uses black as the base color, which is not as bright as the original system. Of course, the user can also easily switch between the new and old HG4 interfaces. The method is to execute the “SwtHG4.BAT†file in the new system. This is a switch file and can be executed on the HG4 with repeated execution. Switch between the old and new interfaces.
In the preliminary trial of the system, the author found a few shortcomings: First, from the interface of the system can not automatically return to the Windows98 desktop, you need to execute the "EXIT" command to return; Second, always run the system to produce A virtual disk whose drive letter is "B:" has no practical purpose. It will only increase confusion and cause inconvenience of use. Third, the system cannot automatically enter the working folder.
Through the analysis of the new system, it was found that its setup was mainly implemented by the newly created "CC.BAT" file. So made some changes to the file. For the first point, you can add the “EXIT†command line at the end of the file so that you can automatically return to the Windows 98 desktop when you exit the system. For the second point, the 4th to 7th command lines in the "CC.BAT" file can be deleted, so that no more virtual disks are generated. For the third point, you can add new 8th and 9th command lines in the modified "CC.BAT" file, namely "D:" and "CD\LT" (The author's working folder is "D: \LT", the reader can also be set according to the actual situation), so that when starting the system can automatically enter the pre-set working folder.
2 New interface and new features
The first visual improvement brought by the new system is that all the Founder system working files have their own icons (as shown in Figure 2), which are very convenient and intuitive to find and are no longer eye-catching "skylights".
Through Figure 2, we can see the specific items in each function module in the new system. The new system makes full use of the combination of drop-down menus and shortcut keys in the late DOS era. In addition to each option can be selected by moving the cursor, you can also use the "ALT + *" combination of keys to select each function module, and the various options within the module can be selected by directly pressing the letters in the brackets, some of which are the most commonly used The function items can also be directly selected by the combination of “ALT+*â€, which is very convenient and quick.
In the "File" module, there are more frequently used functions such as "Open", "Add to Favorites", "Recent Files", and "Favorites". The "open" function item is actually the "edit" function item of the original system, and the "FE" interface of the original system is entered to execute this option. The “New†function item actually generates an automatic sequence number file that starts with “NONAMEâ€. In the “Open†function item, a new file with any file name can be created. Therefore, the “New†function item has meaning in actual use. Not too much. However, the added functions of "Add Favorites," "Last File," and "Favorites" are very useful. It is very convenient to find files that have been edited, and do not need to remember or remember them. It's all over the place.
The most important change in the "Composition" module is that it can cancel the original "PRO" file and directly store the layout parameters at the end of the sample file, ie the "Process Embedded BMPRO" function item. However, according to the author's test, this function seems to have some defects. If you encounter certain wrong parameter settings, the system will enter an endless loop. Another point is that in this new system, the directory and the text can not actually be generated in the same large sample file, but can only be generated in two large files, which is a relatively obvious defect.
The "tools" module can be said to be the highlight of this extension toolkit, which provides some of the features that are currently needed in practical work. For example, the sample is TXT and the sample is HTML. "Zero to HTML" can directly convert a sample into an HTML file, and generate electronic books simply and conveniently. Since the 6.x or 7.x system sample files of the Founder Edition are not suitable for secondary processing using the currently used office software, customers often ask for plain text that does not contain the BD typesetting language annotation, and “convert the sample to TXTâ€. You can quickly provide customers with unstructured plain text to facilitate customers' secondary use of text. In addition, the system also provides "set plug-in tool" interface, users can set according to their actual needs. For example, the original system "chart", "print",
"PASS0" and other functions can be called from the "Tools" module through appropriate settings. The "Tools" module can freely select up to 16 plug-in tools. This is really convenient.
In short, this expansion kit is a very practical software that allows users to obtain many new and useful features without increasing their investment.
