RF File Reformat Utility
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
January 29, 1995
The pattern-matching word extraction utilities provided as part of the WORDY
package have one minor flaw, they print word lists *one-across* into files.
This can be awkward and inconvenient for those wishing to print out the word
files onto paper. The RF File Reformat Utility will reformat those word files
*five-across* for more efficient reading and more economical use of printer
paper.
To use the Reformat File Reformat Utility, type: RF filename (from the DOS
prompt). In just a few seconds, the wordfile will be reformatted in the most
efficient manner [between 5 and 13 columns, depending on the maximum word
length in the file]. This may take as long as a half minute for extremely
long files. Note that this utility is intended for use with the word files
created by the XTRACT, XFIND, INSET, and other pattern-matching utilities
provided with the WORDY package. The use of RF with any other type of files
will produce unpredictable results.
*** WARNING: ***
Once a file has been ReFormatted, the other utilities in the WORDY package,
such as XFIND and XTRACT will no longer work on it. Additionally, it is not
possible to go backwards and easily recreate the original file from the
ReFormatted one. Therefore, before using the RF utility on a word file, make
certain you have a copy of the original file safe on a floppy or in another
subdirectory.
The RF utility is part of the WORDY package. Registration for the *entire*
WORDY package is still only $2.00.
