Welcome to the BookSim version 1.7
(runs exclusively on Olivetti Quaderno).

I have an Olivetti Quaderno, which is book-shaped, book-sized, book-weighted 
computer, so I have been touched by the idea: why we can not use it as a book? 
E.g: The Gutemberg-project provides books in english worldwide. There are 
also electronic libraries abroad on national languages. This program is
designed for long, boring travels. It saves as much power as possible turning
hard disk off, and using power saving functions (clock rate to Ultra low, doze
mode on ,etc). It saves the status at paging to drive D:, so in case of power-
off or power-down or battery-pack change nothing bad happens (simply start the
prog with the same filename again) you can keep on reading at the last page you
have read before the power-off. You can do this without power-tricks, simply
press 'B' while  reading, and exit the program. If you run the prog with
filename different to the last, or delete the bookmark file, this function will
be off. The maximal length of text you can read is limited by the amount of your
conventional memory. This is 554000 bytes on my board. For longer files use
the offset.

Copy the d10 program (and font file if you need this one) and text files together
into a directory. Change the current dir to that. Start the prog typing:

  d10 textfile.ext [offset number (0-999999)]

eg.: d10 jungleb.doc
or   d10 jungleb.doc 100000

NEW!
Dictionary function is now active. Just move the cursor over any letter of the
selected word and press enter. The result file is d:\diction.ary
It is designed for learning languages, collecting the unknown words
into a file. The program just adds the words into file. To handle it will be
your work.
