'''GTXT''' (or whatever it's called) is a utility that converts a text file to an executable file that displays the text in a pager. It was developed by Eric Gans. The original version is for CP/M; later a DOS version was released. The executable format is the ".com" format for the relevant platform.<br />
<br />
Both versions imply that their name is "GTXT", and their version number is 1.1, but seem to go out of their way to not state it clearly.<br />
<br />
There is also a DOS version that names itself '''MakeScroll'''. The files it creates are the same as GTXT, except that instead of ending with bytes <code>00 0a</code>, they just end wth <code>00</code>.<br />
<br />
(The possibility that MakeScroll is not an authorized release should be considered. It's slightly suspicious, but there's no clear evidence either way.)<br />
<br />

DOS: Generated files start with the 189 bytes in the GTXT.000 or MS.DAT file. For example, the text "{{magic|GTXT1.1&nbsp;EGans&nbsp;05/08/86}}" appears at offset 105.<br />
<br />
CP/M: Unconfirmed, but presumably files start with at least some of the bytes in the GTXT.000 file. Text "{{magic|GTXT1.1&nbsp;EG06/18/85}}" appears at offset 107.<br />
