Fischer-Haaser. Generally speaking, the utilities convert a text file to an excutable file that, when executed, displays the text in some way. The flagship utility seems to be '''TXT2EXE'''.<br /> <br /> Most of the information about the software is in German. TXT2EXE 4.01 also supports English and Spanish languages, for both the interface, and the generated files.<br /> <br /> == Discussion ==<br /> Known utilities:<br /> <br /> * TXT2EXE<br /> * &quot;TXT2EXEO (o)&quot; (TXT2EXEO.EXE)<br /> * &quot;TXT2EXE (s)&quot; (TXT2EXES.EXE)<br /> * TXT2C&amp;amp;P (TXT2CP.EXE or TXT2C&amp;amp;P.EXE)<br /> * TXT2FILE<br /> * TXT2LIST<br /> * TXT2EXE-Kommunikations-Area (T2EICA.EXE)<br /> * &quot;T2E&quot;, later &quot;T2E PD&quot; (open source) ({T2EPD.EXE or T2E.EXE} + T2BR.EXE)<br /> * &quot;T2E&quot; (closed source) (T2E.EXE)<br /> * T2C (T2C.EXE)<br /> * µ-TEXT-TO-COM (T2CX.EXE)<br /> <br /> Some of the executable modules are pre-compressed with [[TINYPROG]], others with [[LZEXE]].<br /> <br /> == Identification ==<br /> Identification of files made by these utilities could be a difficult problem in general. Here are some observations.<br /> <br /> Unfortunately, some of the properties of generated files are shared by non-generated files made by the same author, so false positives are likely.<br /> <br /> Some v4.x EXE files have signature bytes {{magic|'p' 'f' 'h' 0x00}} at offset 28.<br /> <br /> Some EXE files from earlier versions have bytes {{magic|57 9a 51 50}} at offset 28. It's unclear if this is a signature, or what.<br /> <br /> Some EXE files have a copyright string in the &quot;overlay&quot; segment (refer to [[MS-DOS EXE#Special file positions]]).<br /> <br /> Some COM files have distinctive &quot;&lt;code&gt;created using&lt;/code&gt;&quot; text near the start of the file.<br /> <br /> Some files contain an identifying string like &quot;&lt;code&gt;[PFH94]&lt;/code&gt;&quot;.<br /> <br /> EXE files made by T2E PD start with the bytes in the T2BR.EXE file.<br /> <br /> == Software ==<br /> * TXT2EXE:<br /> ** v3.34: [https://archive.org/details/pegasus20 Pegasus 2.0] → pegasus/anwend_2/txt2exe.zip<br /> ** v3.49: [https://archive.org/details/pegasus20 Pegasus 2.0] → pegasus/textutil/txt2exe.zip<br /> ** v3.55: [https://archive.org/details/best_of_german_only_1 Best of German Only 1] → ANWENDER/TXT2EXE/*<br /> ** v3.68: [https://archive.org/details/hit-mix_6 HAREWARE HIT-MIX Vol. 6] → 04/154/TXT2EXE_.EXE<br /> ** v4.00: [https://archive.org/details/Frankfurt3ARI1994_201401 Frankfurt 3] → TOOLS/TXT2EXE.ZIP<br /> ** v4.01 (~1994-05-09): [https://archive.org/details/KARSTADT DIE Karstadt Shareware] → PROGRAMM/TOP4/TOP4031.ZIP<br /> ** v4.01 (~1994-07-10): [https://archive.org/details/chipspecialsurvivalkit Chip Special Survival Kit] → 01tools/txt2exe/_txt2exe.exe<br /> <br /> == Sample files ==<br /> * [https://archive.org/details/plex-cd-2 Plex CD Vol. 2] → d_demos/as_chart.zip/README.ARJ → README.EXE (v2.x?)<br /> * [https://archive.org/details/Frankfurt3ARI1994_201401 Frankfurt 3] → daten/vidpro3.zip → README.EXE (v3.x)<br /> * [https://archive.org/details/Frankfurt3ARI1994_201401 Frankfurt 3] → bildung/numerus.zip → README.EXE (v3.x)<br /> * [https://archive.org/details/Frankfurt3ARI1994_201401 Frankfurt 3] → business/buchdas.zip → BUCHDAS.LZH → README.EXE (v3.x)<br /> * {{CdTextfiles|simtel/stmsdos9709/disk1/DISC1/TXTUTL/TRNSMAIL.ZIP|TRNSMAIL.ZIP}} → TRNSMAIL.EXE (v4.01β)</div>
