DeleteHFP allows the user to delete the Header, Footer, or any range of Pages from a geoWrite document. It is simple to use and very fast. It is designed for anyone to use, but I advise that only a user who knows what he is doing should use this. It would also be a good idea to work with a COPY of the original geoWrite document. It is very easy to destroy the ENTIRE document.
To use, simply launch from the DeskTop. The delete menu contains the three basic options: header, footer, pages. Selecting the header item should effectively erase the header from your document. Selecting the footer item will remove the footer from the document.
When using either of these options, realize that the document page height is still the same and reformatting the document is recommended. Do this by opening the document with geoWrite after deleting the header or footer with DeleteHFP and recreate the header or footer and type a blank line. When you exit the header or footer, geoWrite will reformat your entire document and all will be fixed.
The pages option is simple. It will display the number of pages in your document and give you a maximum possible range. You may type in one page number, or type in a range. Any page numbers less than 10 must be preceded by a zero, so that 7 will become 07. When using the range, type, for example, 08-12 to delete pages 8...12 (includes page 12). If you don't type something correctly, DeleteHFP will redisplay the box. There is also a cancel icon, just in case.
Note on earlier geoWrite versions. In a version 1.1 document, there is no header or footer. This allows up to 64 pages, ranging from 0-63. Page 61 is where the header would be, and 62 is where the footer would be, on a version 2.1 document. So, using delete header would remove page 61, and delete footer would kill off page 62.
Note on photo scraps. When DeleteHFP deletes a page, it does not remove any scraps from the VLIR index table, thus they still take up space. If it tried it would be contradicting itself. The reason DeleteHFP was created was to allow the easy deletion of corrupted pages. If you are deleting a corrupted page, how do you expect DeleteHFP to read it and remove the photo scraps?
To prove the usefulness of DeleteHFP, download Rob Knop's source on his RPN calculator. Dissolve it and convert it and try to edit the footer in the RPNsupport file. You can't. GeoWrite crashes in a big way because the footer is messed up. Trust me, this happens and I want to make it easier for users to fix their files.
