+=+=+=+› THOSE   DARN  #$"%&  CARRIAGE  RETURN› CHARACTERS (CRC). by Joseph E. Hicswa› Member  of  THE OL' HACKERS  and JACG›› WHATS THE BEEF?››      A major complaint of ATARI 8-bit› users receiving text files on disk is› the   excessive  number  of  Carriage› Return   Characters   (CRC)   to   be› eliminated  (one  per  line).   FIRST› XLENT WP PROGRAM corrects this.›› WHAT YOU SEE AINT WHAT YOU GET!››       1st    XLENT    prints   words,› sentences   and   paragraphs  of  any› length. On the monitor,  however,  it› only displays up to 80 characters per› line.›› PRINTER COPY››        With     printer,     maximium› characters  per  line  are limited to› printer's  maximum  pitch  capability› (characters   per   inch)  and  paper› width.›› PREPERATION FOR MODEM/DISKS››      FIRST XLENT PRINT MODE  prepares› text  files  for modem and disks that› are   to   be   mailed.   The  format› directives are eliminated.   Carriage› return  characters (CRC) are minimal,› (one at end of each paragraph and  as› follows).:›› RIGHT MARGIN and LEFT MARGIN››     If  Right Margin is set  to 40, a› CRC is  printed  to  disk  after  the› fortieth  character  unless  end   of› paragraph occurs earlier.›      If  Left  margin is set to 0 and› Right Margin  to  250  a  CRC  occurs› after  the 250th character unless the› end of the paragraph occurs earlier.›› HOW TO ELIMINATE A LOT OF CRC's››      By setting Left Margin to 0  and› Right  Margin  to  250  in  the  text› editor,  excessive  carriage   return› characters  are eliminated from modem› transfers and disk  files  mailed  to› other  Atari  8-bit users. (which can› be   read   on   almost   every  Word› Processor,   except   LETTER  PERFECT› EDITOR, as far as I know. A.P.)›› LARGE PARAGRAPH››      If paragraph is greater than 250› characters  (three  80-column lines--› six 40-column lines), there  will  be› an extra carriage return character.›› SMALLER IS BETTER››       Keep   paragraphs   under   250› characters   to   eliminate  unwanted› character return characters.›› January 31, 1994 - Year of the snows.››            ** END **›
