   Short Desription
   ----------------

   TEXTools is a powerful and easy-to-use set of 50+ DOS filters 
   integrated into one EXE that can be combined like building 
   blocks into mini-programs called "pipes" to solve those 
   everyday text processing tasks.  Why write code to process
   text when you can use a pipe instead?


   Medium Description
   ------------------

   TEXTools is a powerful and easy-to-use set of 50+ DOS filters 
   integrated into one EXE that can be combined like building 
   blocks into mini-programs called "pipes" to solve those 
   everyday text processing tasks.  TEXTools can be used interactively
   from the command prompt to quickly handle simple ad hoc tasks 
   or from batch files to handle more complex tasks.  Why write code 
   to process text when you can use a pipe instead?


   Long Description
   ----------------

   TEXTools is a powerful and easy-to-use set of 50+ DOS filters integrated 
   into one EXE that can be combined like building blocks into mini-programs 
   called "pipes" to solve those everyday text processing tasks.  TEXTools 
   can be used interactively from the command prompt to quickly handle simple 
   ad hoc tasks or from batch files to handle more complex tasks.  TEXTools 
   can help you generate reports, interface incompatible software systems, 
   extract data from cumbersome logfiles, automate manual processes, customize 
   text output from other programs, perform text searches, format program 
   listings, convert exported text for use by other software packages, perform 
   base conversions, remove duplicate data, convert fixed-length data to comma 
   delimited and vice versa, format mailing lists for printing -- all this and 
   more by simply combining filters!  You can even create your own user-defined 
   filters from other TEXTools filters.  TEXTools includes a built-in debugging 
   tool that enables you to view intermediate text results between filters.  
   TEXTools can be run from native DOS or Windows 95.  Why write code to process
   text when you can use a pipe instead?
