I have two questions..
1. I can't find my docs on Dynastar, including Dynaform. Dogonnit! Does
anyone have the docs on those?
2. Is there a way to stop WordPad from including linefeeds in a file when it
is saved?
I have to run my little LFStrip program to fix this problem once I've
uploaded the file to OS9....
OS9[T2]:list lfstrip
PROCEDURE LFstrip
DIM linein,linout:STRING[85]
DIM filein,fileout:STRING[20]
DIM path,path2:BYTE
INPUT "File input= ",filein
INPUT "File output ",fileout
OPEN #path,filein:READ
CREATE #path2,fileout:WRITE
WHILE NOT(EOF(#path)) DO
READ #path,linein
IF LEFT$(linein,1)=CHR$(10) THEN
linein=RIGHT$(linein,LEN(linein)-1)
ENDIF
WRITE #path2,linein
ENDWHILE
CLOSE #path
WRITE #path2," "
CLOSE #path2
END
I don't remember why I did that last WRITE #path22," "
I'll look into that.
I did fix that "Today" file for January to finish tell the story of Mary
Jacob and the bra....
1914 19-year-old New York debutanta Mary Jacob invented the modern
soft bra by having her maid sew two handkerchiefs together.
She sold her rights to the multi-million dollar creation for
$1,500. Warner (the bra-makers, not the movie-makers) made over
fifteen million dollars from the bra patent over the next thirty
years.
This is when I discovered I couldn't remember how to use Dynastar. So I
downloaded the January file to this PC and had to use WordPad to modifiy it.
Then, after uploading it back to my coco, I had to use lfstrip to fix that
little problem.
This would have been simpler if I could find the docs on Dynastar.
