Breeze Text-to-EXE refers to the 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.

[edit] 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:
| 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". |
[edit] 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 "This program was created with Breeze".
