Format details

Files were basically plain text, in the MS-DOS encodings (basically ASCII with some platform-specific characters supplementing the normal ones). CR+LF (0x0D, 0x0A) were used to break lines (including automatically-added line breaks when text exceeds an 80-column line), and a few embedded control characters were used to mark bold (begin 0x06, end 0x05), italic (begin 0x10, end 0x11), and underline (begin 0x03, end 0x04). When the mail-merge feature was used, variables were marked beginning and ending with asterisks (*). The line-drawing characters of the PC character encoding were used when a built-in function was used to draw lines.

Notes

If your installation of Breeze (v3.0-5.6) doesn't have a file named BREEZE.DAT, you probably need to run the BRZUTS*.EXE file (usually a self-extracting ARJ archive) to complete the installation. If that file isn't present either, your copy of Breeze may be incomplete (Breeze was sometimes distributed in the form of multiple ZIP files).
