Released 1993

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 version 3.07 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.

Maybe is the same for other versions? I haven't checked them yet.

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.
