This Extension is for the BoloStar 1.5 map editor software. Drop it in the
BoloStar Extensions folder with your copy of the program. The extension
is written by Matt Slot, Slot-Machines Ltd., not K&D Software. This
extension is Freeware, as are all my extensions -- so pass it on.
Map >> Text allows you to remap a selection to an arbitrary text using
different terrain to character mappings. This tool is useful for
people who want to demonstrate a map portion in E-Mail or a newsgroup.
Remember that non-ASCII characters don't work well in mailers, so try
to avoid them for use outside of the Mac World. (ResEdit hounds can
modify the Mapping resource using the available Template
. Once remapped, the text is placed onto the Clipboard for exporting to your
favorite text or mail editor. Yes, I am aware of the duplication of
some symbols, but you can change that can't ya...?
