All three files contain the same code. Download the most convenient one. Downloading Notes: VBS FILE IE may try to run the VBS file instead of downloading it! You'll have to right-click and select "Save Link" or "Save Target" to save the file to your hard drive. TXT FILE Be sure to save the downloaded file with a VBS file extension. If your Windows has the default behavior of hiding file extensions, you will have to quote the file name. For example, don't save it as test.vbs, but as "test.vbs". Using quotes forces Windows to honor your file extension. ZIP FILE No problems. The zip file may (or may not) contain other information or directions. --------------------------------------------------------------------- TextSlideshow.vbs OVERVIEW: If you have a collection of pictures and (optionally) explanatory plain-text files, this script will create all the HTM web pages needed to display your files in a slide show. Just run the script and answer a few questions. Every question has a default answer already given; in almost every case you'll be able to accept the default answer. The presentation will always show your "slides" in NAME SORTED ORDER. YOU DO NOT NEED TO KNOW HOW TO CREATE A WEB PAGE! The script will match up your pictures and text files by name and create all the web pages for you. REQUIREMENTS: The text files and picture files MUST have the same base names. For example "test.txt" and "test.gif" or "foo.txt" and "foo.jpg". If you have a picture file with no matching text file, that's okay. There just won't be any text displayed when the picture gets displayed. For those pictures that will have associated text, you might want to take care to make the picture small enough so there will be room on the page for the text. WEB PAGE EDITING: Feel free to edit the resulting web pages! Use "Notepad" if you don't have anything better. Try to avoid using Microsoft Word. DISTRIBUTING: Both the web pages produced by this script AND the script itself can be distributed and modified without restrictions. The author Eric Phelps has released the script into the Public Domain. Such generosity is accompanied by the total absence of any guarantee, warranty, or responsibility for the script, the files it produces, or the effects the script or script-produced files may have. The script is, after all, plain text. The burden is on the person using the script to examine the script source code and determine whether or not the script is usable and safe. Operating systems and browsers are constantly changing. What works today may not work tommorrow!
