3. Conversion

The process of conversion to zTxt file format is managed by controls that are located on the main application window. An example view of how these controls appear is shown in the figure below.

3.1. Input File

The field labeled "Input File" is used to enter the file path for the plain text or zipped text file that is to be converted. Clicking on the Choose... button next to the field brings up a dialog box to help locate the desired file.

3.2. Output File

The field labeled "Output File" is used to enter the file path for results of conversion. After entering an input file path as described above, PyGEMZ will automatically display a suggested file path for the output.

To choose a different file output path than the one suggested, edit the path manually or click on the Choose... button next to the field to bring up a file browser dialog box.

3.3. Palm Title

The field labeled "Palm Title" is used to enter a text string that is stored in the output file. This string will be used as a document title when the zTxt file is read by a reader program running on a Palm PDA device.

3.4. Convert

After entering the information described above, conversion is initiated by left mouse clicking on the Convert button located in the lower right corner of the main application window. When conversion is completed, the message "Done" appears in the status window at the very bottom of the application window.
