READMAKE is a DOS utility for creating a DOS EXE file that, when executed, displays a text document in a full-screen viewer. It was developed by Bruce Guthrie and Wayne Software.
Identification
EXE files made by the 03/31/93 version of READMAKE has blREADINCL. and other READMAKE-specific text at near bottom. Also at near bottom is this text string: "Written by Bruce Guthrie, Wayne Software and U.S. Dept of Commerce". Then the text data from the input document comes in.
Software
READMAKE was usually packaged with other software by the same author. The individual programs have revision dates that serve as their version numbers. Each package as a whole has an apparent 3-digit version number, probably loosely derived from the release date.
