People are not made of iron. Take good rest to be in good health, which is essential so that you can do better in the future.

When entering the program interface with lines (those lines that are not in Chinese systems), some lines become garbled. When calling VTHZMK -r80, it is found that the screen cannot be cleared. The CLS command also doesn't work. Stack...

Found that WINDOWS cannot start. The displayed meaning is roughly: You need to reinstall WINDOWS... I don't know if it is related to CONFIG.EXE.
If there is an item in CONFIG.SYS:
REM BC=




In autoexec.bat:
:E
WIN
GOTO END
:END
@echo on

Had a few days of rest, and there have been constant developments online.

Re coolboy163:
　　Thank you for your concern. Rest and work need to proceed simultaneously.

1. Half-character "ghosting" issue:

Re ALL:
I have "sinicized" the table characters of BOOTCON, eliminating the half-character "ghosting" problem when displaying Chinese characters. Re-uploaded, welcome to use.

2. Do you have several Windows on your disk? Try specifying the path of Windows again. CONFIG.EXE only loads the font, without other "special effects".

3. "When using VTHZMK -r80, found that the screen cannot be cleared. Even the CLS command doesn't work."
　　It should definitely be like this! Because the -r 80 parameter restores the font and display mode but does not clear the screen, and -r 8 will clear the screen. Also, whether with 0 or not has an impact on CLS - inheritance, unless the 0 state is changed again. Having 0 has its unique significance, maybe you will find out later.

RE: Original is about the BOOTCON.SYS file. Then I downloaded a new one and will try it later.
2. There is only one WINDOWS98 on the hard disk. Then I will run WIN.COM and write its path. Let's try. The CONFIG.EXE is just after editing CONFIG.SYS. I didn't modify anything.
3. Whether R has 0 or not, I need to test it carefully. I have to read the program instructions carefully again. HOHO. I only cared about my own part at that time.
4. Also, I would like to ask about the CONFIG configuration. The version of BOOTCONF.SYS I use is 1.51a. I don't know if it is the reason for not outputting the BOOTCON environment variable? I set it myself. How to operate the PASSWORD in this version? After I press the function key, I can't select the PASSWORD item. Only SAVE and CANCEL are available.
config.sys
device=c:\config.exe
device=c:\bootcon.sys
REM BC=



REM BC=



REM BC=

Content of AUTOEXEC.BAT:
@echo off
MODE CO80
goto %BOOT%
:A
echo A menuitem
goto end

:B
echo B menuitem
goto end

:end

4、Another question about CONFIG configuration. I'm using BOOTCON.SYS version 1.51a. I wonder if that's why the BOOTCON environment variable is not output? I set it up myself. How to operate the PASSWORD in this version? After I press the function key, I can't select the PASSWORD option. Only SAVE and CANCEL are available.

　　There are version issues with BOOTCON.SYS. It is not free software, so there are functional restrictions. The functions described in my introduction are for the full version. Actually, to display Chinese in the startup menu, you can use BOOT.SYS, see "Startup control tool with far stronger functions than BOOTCON.SYS plus CONFIG.CTL " (http://www.cn-dos.net/forum/viewthread.php?tid=18464&fpage=1).

　　Also, I see that you used the MODE.COM command to clear the screen, which is too large. I made a screen clearing tool SET310.com. Run it without parameters to see the help (both Chinese and English). Try it yourself.

It seems that I really need to use BOOT.SYS.
Now list the drawbacks of the free version 1.51a of BOOTCON.SYS (what I saw by myself):
1. No environmental parameter output from BOOTCON;
Solution: Set environmental parameters in CONFIG.SYS by yourself, for example, SET BOOTMENU=A
2. After using BOOTCONF (including the modified one without ghosting by Brother Ben), the lines will still be displayed as garbled codes (a bit like half of "拜") under DOS 7.0;
3. When running the built-in EDIT program under DOS, an error message will be displayed when exiting (it does not affect the EDIT function) Run-time error R6001
-null pointer assignment
4. Entering WIN98 results in a blue screen...>"<
It seems better to use BOOT.SYS...

VTHZMK
Renamed to VTmagic, Chinese name is 惟她没治!
Version number 2.0E (see attachment)

Fixed the error in command line detection of. and - (thanks to moderator willsort for testing and pointing out),
Failed to detect characters like / in the 81h bit (thanks to netizen fdsiuha for testing and pointing out),
The function error of /r8 command with or without 0 (thanks to test netizen LiveOnLove for pointing out)
And other problems I found,
With /r command with 0, the screen information is retained; otherwise, the screen is cleared (note: this command has a "hereditary" impact on the screen clearing functions of CLS and other software, unless it is completely cleared again with /r!)

Welcome to continue testing and pointing out problems!

Re 本是:

I used 2.0e to convert menu_sc.txt, and there are residual fragments of command-line help in the menu_sc.exe file. See the attachment.

In addition, whether it is 2.0d or 2.0e, there are problems in handling non-existent files. Although the *07* error can be displayed, the program cannot terminate normally. 2.0d will fall into a deadlock, and 2.0e will repeatedly throw the *07* error. It seems that there are still problems in the command-line processing module.

Finally, two suggestions are put forward:
1. When the /+ command merges .exe, the processing of Chinese characters with the same internal code is not merging but coexisting, which is correct considering the situation of the same Chinese character with different fonts; but can a function switch for merging the same Chinese characters be added? Because when I modify config.sys / autoexec.bat, I need to process the Chinese characters in the two files at the same time. Since there are not many Chinese characters, I don't really want to generate two .exe files to occupy more space; therefore, I used merging, but found that the common Chinese characters in the two files were not merged, resulting in the number of Chinese characters exceeding.

2. It is suggested to add a switch to control whether to display the work report of vtmagic, such as the processed file, the generated file, the number of processed Chinese characters, the size of the processed file, etc.

Re wil:
　　1. "Residual fragments": This is caused by these data spaces not being initialized to 0 - because I cut them out from the file to make the program file VTmagic.com shorter. It doesn't seem ideal! - Although it doesn't affect the execution effect.
　　2. "Non-existent file": The command line logic and implementation should be no problem. I wanted to implement multi-command queued execution, even if one command has an error, it can continue to execute the next command, so I didn't simply exit the entire program immediately when there was an error; after carefully debugging line by line, I finally found out: it turned out that there was a missing POP SI to restore the scene in the /t processing module. Assembly is really a thousand "calamities" per word! Before releasing the next version, please use Ctrl Break to exit the repeatedly appearing *07* error message.
　　3. "Merge identical Chinese characters": Personally, I think the program can be implemented without modification to achieve the function you want - for example, the user himself merges multiple source text files (COPY /a 1.txt+2.txt+3.txt 123.txt), then directly vtmagic /t 123.txt, and finally the user splits 123.txt into 1.txt, 2.txt, 3.txt. Of course, there will be more operation steps.
　　4. "Work report": Because multi-command queued execution is implemented, there may be a situation where one command line processes multiple text files to generate.EXE, etc. The "work report" will come one after another, and it also needs to not affect commands that only replace font patterns without generating.EXE, etc. The program processing will be more complicated. I can consider making a VTpeep.com to "peek" (peep).EXE files to extract or only report the original code string, new code string, new code type, number of replaced characters, starting replacement code, etc. of non-repeated Chinese characters.

Thanks to moderator wil for testing, suggesting, and paying attention to this program. Without wil, there would be no VTmagic today!

Thanks "Ben Shi". You've worked hard!!!

I want the LZ's VTmagic program to run. After VTMAGIC /t XXX.TXT, it directly generates an EXE or COM file, or automatically packs the EXE and NEW file into one file and embeds the TYPE command to automatically display Chinese content!

To All:

The attachment is the 2.0F revised version, which corrects some small bugs and modifies some prompt messages.

Around the Spring Festival, a version that expands 16x16 dot matrix character fonts into 16x32 (vertical)/32x16 (horizontal)/32x32 (vertical and horizontal) may be released.

Thank you for the efforts of the original author!

: :lol:VTmagic.COM 3.0A Extended Character Template Successfully Released!!!
Welcome to test!

New additions:
/^H Character-by-character extension command Horizontal H extensionZ Vertical Z extensionK Vertical K and horizontal K extension
RespectivelyGenerate VTexp001.EXE, VTexp002.EXE, VTexp003.EXE, ..., and the starting replacement code automatically increases. Then you can use the merge command to combine into one file for easy calling.

Extension methods:


Notes:
1. Characters expanded vertically and vertically and horizontally need to be displayed in two lines, while the arrangement of new internal code characters (list in the attachment) is linear, that is, in the same line, so you need to divide them into two lines and align them yourself!
2. XNM.TXT cannot be edited under WINDOWS, otherwise it will be "forcibly transformed"!
