TYPES.COM Documentation:
Use: TYPES filename
Converts into
----------------------- ----------
"(HRT)<CR><LF>" "<CR><LF>"
"<CR><LF>" "<SPACE>"
"<FORMFEED>" "<CR><LF>"
ADDITIONAL INFO ADDED BY SSI USER SUPPORT GROUP:
This simple utility was written by SSI to allow the conversion of
documents created using WP's TEXT OUT to a more standard ASCII
format used by typesetting (and dedicated word processing)
equipment.
To use the program, first create the document using WP and save a
copy of it (e.g., EXAMPLE.WP). Then, do a global search and
destroy of all [HRt]'s with (HRT)[HRt]. Keystrokes:
[Replace][N][Enter][Search](HRT)[Enter][Search]
While your document may reformat slightly, it should have no
effect on the final outcome.
Next, do a [Text Out] on the document using a different filename
(so you still have your editable original) (e.g., EXAMPLE.TXT).
Exit WP and give the DOS command TYPES <filename> (e.g., TYPES
EXAMPLE.TXT). The document should be converted to "streaming"
ASCII format where [HRt]'s are preserved but all [SRt]'s are kept
as spaces.
FUTURE:
We hope that this is not the final step. While this program
works, an add-on to CONVERT which does not require the
addition of the (HRT) string would be most welcome. Also,
conversion in the opposite direction is needed, and is somewhat
addressed by the ASC2WP program by Alex Irving.
Please let us know how this program does/does not meet your
needs. -Richard Wilkes, SSI User Support Group
