'''Breeze Text-to-EXE''' refers to the [[MS-DOS EXE|DOS EXE]] files created by the "text to .EXE file" function of the [[Breeze]] text editor (v3.0+), by Kevin Solway. The function is in the "Extras" menu.

For all intents and purposes, the format is the same as [[TextLife]]. Refer to [[TextLife]] for more information about the format.

== Format details ==
Each version of Breeze has around a half dozen available EXE file templates, stored in abbreviated form in the BREEZE.DAT file.

There are many versions of Breeze, but not all of them have a unique text-to-EXE format. What matters is the BREEZE.DAT file, and eight different BREEZE.DAT files have been found:

{| class="wikitable"
!BREEZE.DAT size !! Breeze versions !! Remarks
|-
|94184 || 3.2 ||
|-
|94664 || 4.1 || Identical to [[TextLife]] v2.3.
|-
|93800 || 4.3 ||
|-
|107128 || 4.5 || Contains string "Breeze v4.4".
|-
|107224 || 4.6 || Contains string "Breeze v4.6".
|-
|107992 || 4.9 to early 5.2 || Contains string "Breeze v4.9".
|-
|107608 || late 5.2 to early 5.3 || Contains string "Breeze v5.2".
|-
|109528 || late 5.3 to 5.6 || Contains string "Breeze v5.2".
|}

== Identification ==
See [[TextLife#Identification]] for relevant information. In general, the only obvious difference between Breeze's format and TextLife is that files made by Breeze v4.4(?)+ contain the string "{{magic|This program was created with Breeze}}".

== Software ==
* Breeze: See [[Breeze#Software]].
* See also [[TextLife#Software]].

== Sample files ==
