SLMT
Free DOS utility: offline reader ASCII tagline file creator

SLMT splits a file of lines of varying lengths into two new files, one
with long lines and one with short lines. Its purpose is to filter
long lines out of a file so that the short ones may be used as tags in
an offline mail reader, such as SLMR.
Usage: SLMT tag_file [Transform into a short line file and a long line file.]
"SLMT taglines.mr" will create:
taglines.shr [with short lines (57 chars or less)]
taglines.lng [with long lines (58 chars or more)]
SLMR can only use taglines 57 characters or less in length, so the
default is to split the original file by using 58 as the minimum
length a line must be to be put in the long file.
If you have a mail reader which can handle longer tags, I have
incorporated the following option:
You may use the DOS SET command to change the default "toolong" var of
58 chars --
Ex: "SET toolong=73" will sift out all lines which exceed 72 chars.)
SLMT does not recognize DOS wildcards (? and *).
SLMT will not overwrite existing files.
SLMT will show an appropriate message when an error is encountered.
(if I have anticipated it)
