Text Over

The Global Ideas Bank, part of a non-profit educational charity, offers the TextOver program (demo version available free; full version for a minimum donation of 15 UK pounds, payable by credit card) for altering text and other files on an Apple Mac machine or website. (1) The Global TextOver program finds and replaces text in one or more text files or folders at a time. The user specifies the text to be found and the text with which it is to be replaced. An individual file can be selected or all the files in a folder, and, optionally, the selected folder's subfolders. (2) The UK BT Big Number ChangeText Over program is an additional bonus. It can automatically in one run alter UK phone numbers throughout a website for the Big Number Change which started its parallel running on June 1st 1999. Thus, for instance, the phone number 0181 234 5678 would be automatically altered to the new number which is 020 8234 5678. All the Northern Ireland phone number changes are also included. System requirements: An Apple Mac Power PC or 68000 with system 7.5 or above. File types that can be changed in the current release: Plain text: .asc; .ascii; .text; .txt; .c; .h;. ini Rich text: .rtx HTML text: .htm; .html; .asp A number of other file types seem to change OK too on our machines but this would be a matter for careful testing on your machine. This is a beta release - please give feedback on other types of file you would like to be able to change and any other improvements, to the e-mail address below. Donations: Download the free demo Apple Mac version of TextOver (the demo changes only the first 10 lines of a file). The demo version is compressed using Stuffit 4.0 For the full version, please send your minimum 15 UK pounds donation by credit card only. Please send, fax, phone or e-mail the Mastercard or Visa number and expiry date and the registered name and address of the card holder to the Global Ideas Bank at rhino.dial.pipex.com. The UK pound translates to about 1.6 US dollars - the Global Ideas Bank charges your credit card in UK pounds and the credit card company translates it on your bill into your local currency. The bill will be from 'The Institute for Social Inventions', which administers the Global Ideas Bank. As soon as your donation has cleared, you will be e-mailed details of how to utilise the full features of TextOver.
