WPMDX.EXE 1.3 8/26/92
Macro Description Extractor for DOS WordPerfect products
PURPOSE
WPMDX extracts macro descriptions from various DOS WordPerfect products.
The program displays a list of sorted macro filenames followed by their
descriptions. Output is sent to the screen, but can also be redirected to a
file or printer. The following macro formats have been tested: WordPerfect
5.0 and 5.1 for DOS, Office 3.0 and 3.1 (Editor and Shell macros),
DrawPerfect 1.1, PlanPerfect 5.1, and LetterPerfect macros. Other WP DOS
products may be compatible as well. Example output:

ALTQ EDM Quit Editor
ALTR EDM Remove the Current File/Macro Marks
SCANVARS EDM Create a list of variables a macro uses
CL_PD SHM Print the Current Calendar Day
CL_PD1 SHM Print the Current Calendar Day
CL_PRINT SHM Print Calendar
CL_PRNT1 SHM Print Calendar
DIAL SHM Dial a Number using NB

CALC WPM Pop-Up Calculator
CCM WPM Creates columned list of character maps
CEO21 WPM Count every occurence of every word
COUNT WPM Macro to count strings
DATEDOC WPM Names document with the current date
... etc.
Notice in the above that the files are sorted first by extension, then
by filename.
USAGE
The program is run from the DOS command line. The basic syntax is the
following:
WPMDX.EXE [drive:\][path\]filename.ext [/h] [/s]
/h makes the output printable on an HP laserjet compatible
/s suppress the header
You can use wildcards in the filename.ext such as "*" and "?".
Examples:
Display to the screen: WPMDX c:\wp51\macros\*.wpm
One screen at a time: WPMDX c:\wp51\macros\*.wpm | MORE
Display only one macro: WPMDX c:\wp51\macros\envelope.wpm
Macros that start with M: WPMDX c:\wp51\macros\m*.wpm
Output to a file: WPMDX c:\wp51\macros\*.wpm > filename
Append output to a file: WPMDX c:\wp51\macros\other\*.wpm >> filename
Output to an HP printer: WPMDX c:\wp51\macros\*.wpm /h > lpt2
Output to an Epson printer: WPMDX c:\wp51\macros\*.wpm > lpt1
Display Editor macros: WPMDX c:\office30\*.edm
Display Shell macros: WPMDX c:\office30\*.shm
Display all files with a macro format: WPMDX c:\office30\*.*
Executing WPMDX by itself will produce a help screen.
The characters ">", ">>", "|" and the MORE command are DOS redirection
symbols and pipes. For more information on using redirection, consult
your DOS manual.

REVISION
1.3 08/26/92 Now sorts by extension first, then filename -- so if you have
various WP Corp. macros in the same directory such as EDM, SHM and WPM
macros and type "WPMDX *.*" the EDM's will appear first, then the SHM's,
then the WPM's.
1.2 08/18/92 Added HP printer switch. Added switch to suppress printing the
2 line header. Added support for other WP DOS macros. Fixed a bug in
extracting the description.
1.12 07/24/92 Minor bug fix: stopped extraction of description when first byte
was nulled.
1.11 07/24/92 First released version.
1.1 07/20/92
1.0 07/07/92
