Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist


* Package name    : makeztxt
  Version         : 1.6.0

  Description     : 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/)
