-
- Originally written by Joe Wright, these programs may be used to
- format assembly level source code for more uniform presentation.
-
- NEATC puts all source code to upper-case and and leaves all DB
- strings and comments intact.
-
- NEATL puts all source code to upper-case, all comments to lower-
- case and leaves DB strings intact.
-
- NEATU puts the entire program to upper-case with the exception
- of DB strings which remain intact.
-
- All three programs have an interesting side benefit. They strip
- off the parity bit thus eliminating any 7th bits high that WORDSTAR or
- similar editors might accidently leave on some characters.
-
-
-
- TO USE: (NEATC used for the following examples, NEATL and NEATU work
- the same way:
-
-
- B>NEATC <cr> displays the way the program may be used
-
-
- B>NEATC HELLO.ASM NEWNAME.ASM keeps the original file intact while
- making a new file called NEWNAME.ASM
-
- B>NEATC HELLO.ASM renames the original file to HELLO.BAK,
- names the new file the original name
-
-
-
- An interesting feature is available:
-
- ;' Using this method will keep names like Irv Hoff or labels
- ;' like "START" in the original case should you prefer neither
- ;' program to alter some of the comment lines. Using the
- ;' leading "tick" in this manner keeps the comments intact,
- ;' regardless which program is being used. Of course this
- ;' technique is unnecessary with NEATC which leaves all com-
- ;' lines intact.
