- Directory Massager Comments November 30, 1986; March 1, 1987
-
- I got tired of cutting and pasting and searching and changing to make the
- GEnie directories I had "saved off the top" into a form palatable to Excel.
- "This is the kind of stuff a computer should do" I kept saying.
- So I wrote a MacPascal program, GenieDirTabber, to appropriately massage the captured text.
-
- The results seemed useful enough to share, and also to climb the learning curve
- to convert MacPascal source code to TML code. Along the way, I spawned the
- plain-vanilla UglyMassage.Pas to get something to run from the Finder, and eventually
- DirMassage.pas with resources and everything.
-
- The other utilities that perform such a task, which have been uploaded to GEnie, seem to be
- considerably larger than my CMUG#2994...I wonder why.
