Program: Depager
Version: 1.1
Author: George Spafford
Date: February 15, 1992
Purpose:
Have you ever gotten a DOC file that had a form feed after every
paragraph? Are you irritated at reformatting your text once you
pull that DOS text file in that has all of those form feed characters
in it (ASCII 12)? This program strips the FF characters out so you can
format/print your text however you want to.
Procedure:
DEPAGER source.fil target.fil
source.fil This is your master file.
target.fil This is your destination file that has had the
form feed characters stipped out. This can also
be a device name such as PRN, LPT1, LPT2 etc.
NOTE: There are not any screen writes during the process so
be patient. A 720K file on my 286 took 25 seconds to
process.
The form feed characters are ASCII 12 or HEX 0x0C. They are the characters
that look like a little man - so to speak. When your printer reads this
character, it does a forms feed to the next page of paper. When a word
processor reads this, it often assumes that this is a hard page break.
History:
02/15/92 v1.1
Guess what - if you code in C++ it is a smart thing to flush
file buffers before you terminate your program!!! Sorry folks.
The bug that was causing some file to be incompletely converted
has been corrected.
12/02/91 v1.0
Initial Release.
The Fun Stuff:
DEPAGER is distributed as shareware. If you find it useful, you should
register it within 30 days of your initial use. Only by your registering
this program can I continue to write specialized programs at a shareware
price. This program is $5 per concurrently used copy. Checks or money orders
can be sent to the following address. I always welcome comments as well.
