- 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.
