Copyright (c) 1989-92 by David Seidman September 1992 Software by Seidman's WPMD The File Doctor for WordPerfect(r) Things can go wrong with WordPerfect 5 (that is, 5.0 or 5.1) document files. Text may disappear. WordPerfect 5 (WPerf5) may stop recognizing a file as a WPerf5 document file. And other strange things may happen. We don't always know why they happen, but we can do something about them when they do. If your WPerf5 files get sick, WPMD, the WordPerfect 5 File Doctor, may be able to help. It cannot help if what should be in your file has simply vanished from your disk, but that is not what usually happens. Check the size of your file with the DOS DIR command. If the number of bytes is not too small, your text is probably still there, and it is time to call the File Doctor. WPMD cannot cure all the maladies that may afflict WordPerfect files, but it can cure many of them. WPMD has two ways of operating. The Ordinary Way is very simple to use. The other way, Drastic Surgery, is a bit more complicated. The Ordinary Way is usually all you need, but sometimes you need Drastic Surgery and sometimes you need both. What The Ordinary Way Does -------------------------- WPerf5 function codes are stored as series of bytes that have meaning to WPerf5, not as what you see in Reveal Codes. If even one byte in a code is incorrect, WPerf5 can get hopelessly confused. This confusion can have dramatic results. For example, the entire text of your document may disappear from the screen; even though the text is actually all there in the file, WPerf5 shows nothing but a blank screen. Less dramatically, you may lose part of the text, a "loop" may develop so that moving the cursor down in the document brings you to an earlier part of it, or the text may become incorrect in other ways. WPMD handles this problem by looking for messed up codes. Usually when it finds them, it deletes them and leaves the message **FIX** in their place. If WPMD's cure works well, you just retrieve the fixed file into WPerf5, search for **FIX** (use an Extended Search, because WPMD may have fixed a problem in a footnote, endnote, header, footer, or text box), and see if anything is missing at that point. At least one code is likely to be missing. In addition, you will often see garbage -- erroneous characters and codes -- after the **FIX** message. The garbage is the remains of broken codes. Simply delete it. In rare cases, WPMD will cure the problem without leaving a **FIX** message. This happens when WPMD figures out exactly what the incorrect bytes should be and replaces them with the correct ones. In all cases, when WPMD fixes the file, PROOFREAD carefully. WPerf5 may have changed characters in your text in ways WPMD cannot detect. What Drastic Surgery Does ------------------------- Use Drastic Surgery when (a) WordPerfect does not recognize your document as a WP5 document file ("incompatible file format" is the usual tipoff to this problem); (b) WordPerfect tells you there is insufficient space on the WP disk to retrieve the file and you suspect there is enough space; or (c) all else fails (that is, after you have tried the Ordinary Way, and after you have tried FIXPRE, which is briefly described below). While the Ordinary Way fixes your text, Drastic Surgery does nothing to the text of your document. Instead, it amputates the document prefix, the beginning part of the document file you do not see in WPerf5, and replaces it with another document prefix. This amputation loses a good deal of information, including graphics, styles, and initial codes (unless you have the same information available in the prefix of another file). If the only problem is a problem in the prefix, Drastic Surgery may be all the cure you need. But Drastic Surgery may simply allow WPerf5 to get to the rest of the document, where there could also be problems. So if Drastic Surgery does not fully cure your file, try the Ordinary Way again, using the re-prefixed file produced by Drastic Surgery as the input file. Running WPMD ------------ You can give instructions to WPMD from the DOS command line, or you can use the program interactively. To use it fully interactively, you start the program by typing its name at the DOS command line and pressing ENTER: C>WPMD WPMD does not allow you to change the colors it uses in interactive operation. If you do not like the colors, you can start the program this way: C>WPMD -M The program will then run in monochrome mode. If you start the program like this: C>WPMD -? WPMD will display a summary of the instructions for using it in command line mode. If you start WPMD with either just WPMD or WPMD -M, the program will ask you to enter an input file name. Type the name (including drive and directory, if necessary) of the sick file. When you have finished typing and editing the file name (conventional editing keys work), hit the ENTER key. If you include a DOS wildcard (* or ?) in the filename, a window with a list of files matching the file specification you provided will appear. Move the cursor to the file name you want to select and hit the ENTER key. The selected file name will appear as the response to the program's request for an input file name. You can then edit it or hit the ENTER key to accept it. If you change your mind and want to exit the program without selecting an input file, delete the response to the prompt and hit ENTER. WPMD will then ask you for the name of an output file, the fixed file it is to create. It will propose a file name, which you can accept by hitting the ENTER key. Usually, the name it proposes will be the name (including path) of the input file, but with the extension FIX. If a file with that name already exists, WPMD will try extensions from X01 to X99. If all of those are in use with that file name, WPMD will not propose a file name. If you like the proposal but would like to edit it a bit, move the cursor with an arrow key before doing any editing. If you do not like the proposal and would like to enter a new name, just start typing; the proposed name will vanish. If you would like to restore the original proposal, hit CtrlR. If there are problems with the input or output file name you supply, WPMD will ask you to take corrective action. It should be obvious how to respond. After you have supplied the input and the output file names, WPMD will ask you whether you want to use the Ordinary Way or Drastic Surgery. If you want to use the Ordinary Way, type O or hit the ENTER key. If you want to use Drastic Surgery, type D. Once the Ordinary Way starts, WPMD may ask you if you are sure the input file is a WordPerfect 5 document file. If it asks, answer with either Y or N. If the answer is Y, the program continues. If the answer is N, the program quits. WPMD may also ask you if the input file is "locked," or password protected. If the answer is N(o), the program continues. If the answer is Y(es), the program quits, because WPMD cannot work with locked files. It may also quit in the face of various problems, which it will explain. Using The Ordinary Way From The Command Line -------------------------------------------- In addition to using the Ordinary Way as described above, you can also start it from the DOS command line: C>WPMD Infile Outfile [-M] Infile is the name (including drive and directory, if necessary) of the sick file. Outfile is the name (including drive and directory, if necessary) of the fixed output file. -M, which is optional, controls colors, as described above. (Do not use the brackets; they simply indicate that -M is optional.) For example, C>WPMD c:\wp50\letters\John.wp5 c:\wp50\letters\John.fix -M When run from the command line, rather than interactively, WPMD may respond with various messages and then stop. If it does, you have to figure out what to do next. For example, WPMD may tell you it can't find the input file. In that case, you should see if there is an error on your command line. But some messages make clear that WPMD thinks there are problems in the input file that it cannot handle in the Ordinary Way. At that point, you have two choices. First, you can give up. Second, you can try Drastic Surgery. Using Drastic Surgery --------------------- As with the Ordinary Way, you can use Drastic Surgery entirely from the DOS command line. That is complicated, and we will explain interactive operation first. Drastic Surgery, as noted above, replaces your document's prefix by another prefix. It can create a prefix by itself, but that prefix will not have a good deal of useful information that is stored in the prefix of your document, such as Initial Codes, Graphics, Styles, and so forth. If you have a good WordPerfect document with a similar prefix - - that is, a prefix likely to have much the same information as the prefix on your sick document -- WPMD can use that prefix instead. Once you tell WPMD that you want to use Drastic Surgery, it asks you whether you want to use the prefix from another document. Answer with a Y or N. If you answer Y(es), WPMD then asks you to supply the name of another file, the file with the prefix you want to use. (You can respond with wildcards, as in the case of the input file.) If you leave that filename blank, or if you supply the name of either your input or your output file, WPMD will use the prefix it creates; otherwise, it will take the prefix from the file you named. In order to put a new prefix before the text of your document, Drastic Surgery needs to know the "offset," the location, in the file where the text part of your document begins. That information is stored very close to the beginning of a normal WordPerfect document. Of course, you would not be using Drastic Surgery if your document were a normal WordPerfect document. Therefore, the information stored in the file where the offset of the start of the text is supposed to be stored may not be valid. Nevertheless, that information is worth trying. WPMD reads the information. If it thinks that indicates a plausible file offset, WPMD asks you whether you want to try Drastic Surgery using that offset. To help you decide whether to try that offset, WPMD also tells you the number of bytes there would be in the text part of your document if that were the offset of the beginning of the text. If you think that number of bytes is at all plausible, you might as well let WPMD run Drastic Surgery using that offset. At best, it is the right offset. At worst, it is wrong, the output file is not very good, and you try Drastic Surgery again. In other words, let WPMD try Drastic Surgery with the internally stored offset information unless you have a very good reason not to. The usual good reason is that you have already tried that once. There can be other good reasons. If the file you are trying to fix is a 200 page document and WPMD says that, based on the internally-stored offset, the text of the file is 500 bytes, the internally stored value is not likely to be right. If you decide not to use the offset stored internally, you have to tell WPMD where the text part of the document begins. So that you can do this, WPMD displays your file in a conventional "hex mode" manner. As an example, we use a simple file, which contains nothing but the sentence "This is an example." The hex mode display looks something like this (some blank columns have been deleted, for better fit on the page): ’ÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕ∏ ≥000000 FF 57 50 43 3B 01 00 00 01 0A 00 00 00 00 00 00 .WPC;...........≥ ≥000010 FB FF 05 00 32 00 FF 00 00 00 07 00 0F 00 00 00 {...2...........≥ ≥000020 42 00 00 00 02 00 56 00 00 00 51 00 00 00 0C 00 B.....V...Q.....≥ ≥000030 57 00 00 00 A7 00 00 00 03 00 01 00 00 00 FE 00 W...'.........~.≥ ≥000040 00 00 43 6F 75 72 69 65 72 20 31 30 20 63 70 69 ..Courier 10 cpi≥ ≥000050 00 00 00 FF FF 6D 00 5B 00 78 00 78 00 78 00 0A .....m.[.x.x.x..≥ ≥000060 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 C2 01 40 1D C2 01 78 00 14 .......B.@.B.x..≥ ≥000070 1E 0C 17 8C 0A 00 00 00 04 11 40 C9 00 29 73 E5 ..........@I.)se≥ ≥000080 01 1B 00 FE FE FE FE FE FE FE FF FE FF FF FF FF ...~~~~~~~.~....≥ ≥000090 FF FF FE FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF ..~.............≥ ≥0000A0 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 50 61 6E 61 73 6F 6E 69 63 .......Panasonic≥ ≥0000B0 20 4B 58 2D 50 31 30 39 31 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 KX-P1091.......≥ ≥0000C0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 50 41 4B 58 ............PAKX≥ ≥0000D0 50 31 30 39 2E 50 52 53 00 DB 01 78 00 14 1E 0C P109.PRS.[.x....≥ ≥0000E0 17 8C 0A 00 00 00 04 11 40 C9 00 87 CF 01 00 01 ........@I..O...≥ ≥0000F0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 58 02 18 3D 13 22 04 82 FB .......X..=."..{≥ ≥000100 FF 05 00 32 00 00 00 00 00 06 00 08 00 00 00 31 ...2...........1≥ ≥000110 01 00 00 08 00 02 00 00 00 39 01 00 00 00 00 00 .........9......≥ ≥000120 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................≥ ≥000130 00 00 23 7C 00 78 00 00 00 00 00 54 68 69 73 20 ..#|.x.....This ≥ ≥000140 69 73 20 61 6E 20 65 78 61 6D 70 6C 65 2E is an example. ≥ ‘ÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕÕæ Press [ESC] when cursor is at doc start Most users will care only about the sixteen columns at the right of the screen, where the cursor will stay. Those columns display the bytes in your file (including the bytes in the prefix), usually as ascii characters, although some are displayed as dots. In the rest of the screen, the first column of six digit numbers has the offset, in hexadecimal, of the first byte displayed on the line -- most users of WPMD will, and should, ignore this column. The next sixteen columns of two digit numbers are the hexadecimal representation of the sixteen bytes shown on the right. Again, most users will, and should, ignore the hexadecimal values. In the example, the entire file fits on a single screen. Most files will not. You need to move around the document looking for the beginning of the text and then put the cursor on the first character in the text (in this case, the T in This). In moving around the file, you can use conventional cursor keys, PageUp and PageDown, Home to get to the beginning of a line of sixteen characters, End to get to the end of it, CtrlPgDown to get to the end of the file, and CtrlPgUp to get to the beginning. In addition to moving around with the cursor movement keys, you can search for text automatically. To search for a text string, hit CtrlQ and then F. You will be asked to enter the string. Type it and hit the Enter key. You will be prompted for search options. The valid options are U, G, and B. Enter as many of them as you want to use and hit enter. Option U is used if you want a case insensitive search; if you do not use it, the search is case sensitive. The other two options control the search direction. By default, the search is from the cursor to the end of the file. Option B results in a backward search to the beginning of the file. Option G will search the entire file. To repeat a search, hit CtrlL. You may find it convenient to set "markers" in the file -- candidate locations of the start of the text. You can set up to four markers, numbers 0 through 3. To set a marker at the cursor location, type CtrlK followed by the number of the marker. You can jump to a marker you have previously set by typing CtrlQ followed by the number of the marker. It is not always easy to find the beginning of the text of the document. Document prefixes can be many thousands of bytes long, so you may have to do a lot of paging down. And the prefix may contain information that looks like it should be part of the text. For example, the document summary is contained in the prefix, and it may contain a copy of part of the document text. Styles are stored in the prefix, and they may contain chunks of text. Examine the display carefully and try to avoid treating these chunks of text as the beginning of the document. (There is, unfortunately, another circumstance making it impossible to find the beginning of the text part of the document. It is not always there. If you do not see anything resembling the start of your text anywhere in the display of the file, your document is too badly damaged to be recovered, or else it is a "locked" -- that is, password protected -- document. WPMD cannot fix locked documents.) When you find the first word in the text, it may nevertheless not be located at the true beginning of the text part of the document. For example, if the sentence in our example file had been indented with a tab, the beginning of the text part of the file would actually have been a string of nine bytes very few people would recognize as representing a tab. Other function codes at the start of a document are also represented by unrecognizable strings of bytes. For a reason explained below, function codes like this are not a serious problem, and you should not worry about them. Codes that contain text, however, including headers, footers, and comments, are more of a problem. If you treat text within a header, footer, comment, style, or similar structure as the beginning of the text of your document, the results will not be satisfactory, and it may be necessary to use the Ordinary Way on the output of Drastic Surgery. When you have decided on what to take as the beginning of the text of the document, move the cursor to it and hit the ESC key. WPMD will then display the hexadecimal offset of that location in the file. You can edit that number, or you can simply hit ENTER to accept it. It is difficult to imagine any circumstance in which you would want to edit that number. WPMD then asks you whether you want it to search backwards through the file for codes. Unless you have a very good reason for answering N(o), you should answer Y(es). If you do, WPMD will move backwards in the file from the offset you located, seeing if there are valid WordPerfect codes. If there are any, WPMD will consider them as part of the text part of the document and adjust the offset accordingly. That is why you need not worry too much about codes like tabs before the character you identify as the start of the text of the document. (This description may make it sound as though you could simply move the cursor to the end of the file, treat that as the offset of the beginning of the text, and let WPMD do the work of finding the beginning of the text part of the document. Unfortunately, that will not work, for two reasons. First, WPMD will search backwards only for about 15,000 bytes. Second, WPMD will stop searching backwards the first time it finds an invalid code. Since you would not be using WPMD if you knew the file to be in perfect shape, there is a risk that there are invalid codes. If you leave the cursor inside a function code, such as a header, footer, or comment, WPMD will think the beginning of that function code is an invalid code.) Once you have answered the backward searching question, WPMD proceeds to process your file. If you prefer, you can use Drastic Surgery from the DOS command line, avoiding some or all of the interactive program operation. The DOS command line looks like this: C>WPMD Infile Outfile -d[hex] [-gfilespec] [-m] The optional -gfilespec identifies the file from which you want to take a prefix to use on your output document, as described above. If you use -d without the optional hexadecimal offset value, WPMD will proceed to find the offset, with your help, as described above. Alternatively, you can supply the offset immediately following the -d, for example, -dF14, and avoid all interactive operation. The user will rarely know the offset, so this option will rarely be used. But you may sometimes know it. For example, if your file gets completely trashed, and you use a disk sector editing tool to recover it, you might well recover only the text part of the document, so the file would have no prefix. In that case, the offset of the start of the text part of the document is 0. When Drastic Surgery finishes, the next step is to read the output file into WordPerfect. If all has gone well, you will have a healthy document again. If not, you should try using the Ordinary Way on the new document. David Seidman Software by Seidman 2737 Devonshire Pl.

It is fully protected by copyright. WPMD is distributed as shareware (without the documentation in WordPerfect format). If you obtain a copy without paying the license fee, you are granted without charge a limited license which permits (a) use of the program for a reasonable period for evaluation and testing; (b) making copies for distribution to others without charge, provided the program and the accompanying documentation are distributed together and without modification; (c) posting the program, together with the accompanying documentation, on electronic bulletin board systems. How long is a reasonable period? The idea of shareware is that you should be able to try a program before deciding to buy it. But unless you have a broken WordPerfect 5 file, you really are not in a position to try WPMD. You probably would like to keep WPMD around as a kind of insurance policy, hoping that if a problem ever develops with a WordPerfect 5 file, WPMD can help fix it. Although I would prefer that you sent your license fee simply because you have heard WPMD is a good program, it is reasonable that you would not do so. Once you have tried WPMD on one of your broken files and found that it does work, the clock starts ticking on reasonableness. After all, if WPMD saved a single file of any substantial size for you, you should not have to wait for more information before deciding it is worth the registration fee. I think more than two weeks after that point is unreasonable. And that is what a "reasonable period" means for purposes of this license. Use after the reasonable evaluation and testing period requires payment of a license fee. For a single copy (plus necessary archival copies), to be used on only one computer at a time, the fee is $35.00. For your convenience, an invoice form is included below. For large quantities, discounts and site licenses are available. Write for information. Any license for which payment is properly made is valid for this version of WPMD and all subsequent versions. What do you get for your license fee? Aside from permission to use the program and the warm feeling that you are not violating the copyright laws, not very much, but a little. You will receive the latest version of the program, along with the documentation in WordPerfect format, and you will receive notice of significant program upgrades, which you may order for a small shipping and handling fee. Further, if you let me know about any problems you have with the program, I will try to solve them. A license if valid for all versions of WPMD, not just the current one. The only upgrade fee is for shipping and handling. Users groups and other not-for-profit organizations may distribute unmodified copies of WPMD, together with its accompanying documentation, for a fee to cover duplication and related costs, not to exceed $6.00. Certain organizations may have been granted permission to distribute the program for a fee larger than $6.00, the larger fee to include the license fee for a single copy. If the organization from which you received a copy of the program has been granted that permission, it should tell you so. The United States Department of Justice is granted a license, without payment of fee, for all official use of WPMD.

RELATED PROGRAMS FIXPRE -- FIXPRE, which is also useful in curing the ills of WPerf5 files, is part of the shareware package WPTOOLS. The description below gives some idea of the situations in which FIXPRE may solve problems with WordPerfect files. We cannot describe all the circumstances, because FIXPRE often helps with problems new to us. WPTOOLS is a collection of 14 shareware utilities for use with WPerf5, with an additional six provided to registered users. These utilities are DOS programs intended for use with WPerf5 for DOS, but most of them are also useful with WPerf5 for Windows. At this writing, the latest version of WPTOOLS is 5.1b. WPTOOLS is available on many BBSs, on CompuServe in the WPSGA forum, and on GEnie in the WordPerfect RT. Or you can order it for $25 from Software by Seidman, plus $2.00 for shipping and handling. For your convenience, an order form appears below. Here are brief descriptions of all 20 WPTOOLS programs: COMMENTS Reads one or more WP5 document files, extracts the comments, and writes them to a WPerf file or to standard output. DISKFONT Searches a directory for specified soft font files and, optionally, lists descriptive information about the fonts it finds. ENDFOOT Converts all footnotes (endnotes) to endnotes (footnotes), changing automatic references appropriately. FIXPRE Removes deleted (and optionally other) data packets from the prefix of WP5 document files and removes deleted data packets from WP5 (and other WPCorp) setup files (e.g., WP{WP}.SET). For document files, this will often facilitate changing the printer driver used with the file and shrink the file. Setup files grow as you modify your setup; FIXPRE shrinks them again. And FIXPRE sometimes helps when WP5 just seems to be acting strangely. Optionally deletes styles, initial codes, document summaries, and graphics. FONTFILE Lists the file names of the soft font files specified in a PRS file. FONTLIST Lists the names of the fonts used in a WP5 document and the PRS file the document calls for. IS5XDOC Identifies WP5 document files. Useful in batch files. LISTMACS Lists the names and descriptions of macros in WPM and WPK files (and the keys for WPK macros), optionally sorted. Also works with PP5 and DR macro and keyboard files. MAKETABS Converts an ASCII text file to a WP50 document, replacing spaces by tabs. Used with columnar material. MASTER Reads a WP5 master document and lists the unexpanded subdocuments it calls for. MERGESUM Creates (or adds to) a WP50 secondary merge file, each record containing the information from a WP5 document summary (or, optionally, the first 400 or so characters of a document if no summary was created), along with information from the DOS file directory. In effect, creates a database of document summaries that can be processed using the WP5 Merge and Sort functions, or WordPerfect's Notebook program. PRINTIT Paginates and formats an ASCII text file for printing. PRSFONTS Lists and optionally numbers the names of the fonts available in a WP5 PRS file. STYLIST Lists names and descriptions of styles, optionally sorted. STYLEUSE Lists the styles used in the text of a document. Lists the styles found in the prefix but not used in the document. Optionally deletes unused (or all) styles from the prefix. Optionally deletes style on and off codes from the text of a document, leaving the codes added by the style. TARGETS Lists the automatic reference targets and references in a WP5 document file, indicating unreferenced targets and references to nonexistent targets. WHATPTRS Lists the printers described in ALL files, optionally sorted by printer name. WP5LOOK Displays one or more WP5 document files specified on the command line, piped to the program, or entered in response to prompts. Particularly because files can be specified with wildcards, WP5LOOK may be more convenient than WP5 itself for browsing through WP5 documents. Also displays non-WP5 files. WPGSIZE Extracts and lists the dimensions of the image coordinate space for WPG files. Useful in getting the aspect ratio right. WPSNOOP Determines, in greater or lesser detail, the file type of many, but not all, files associated with recent WordPerfect Corporation products. For WP5 document files, lists the document summary and the PRS file. For macro files, lists the description. Optionally reveals the structure of WP5 document file prefixes and of set file prefixes. ----------------------------------------- SHOWCODE -- Reveal Codes can be very helpful in figuring out what went wrong with a WPerf5 document. But it is difficult to examine a lengthy document in Reveal Codes. SHOWCODE allows you to print out almost exactly what you would see in Reveal Codes if you used Reveal Codes on an entire document. SHOWCODE is part of MORE TOOLS. MORE TOOLS is a collection of 9 shareware utility programs (plus two additional utilities, including SHOWCODE, for those who register) for use with WPerf5, including both Windows and the DOS versions. All of the programs are useful with WPerf51 for DOS. A few are not useful with WPerf51 for Windows or WPerf50. When released, MORE TOOLS will be available on many BBSs, on CompuServe in the WPUSERS forum, and on GEnie in the WordPerfect RT. Or you can order it for $25 from Software by Seidman, plus $2 for shipping and handling. An order form appears below. Release of MORE TOOLS is expected in October 1992. Here are brief descriptions of the MORE TOOLS programs: ADDPRS A tool for network administrators, allowing selective updating of printer definitions in personal setup files from the definitions in the master setup file. More flexible than NWPSETUP. AUTHOR A tool for managing legal table of authorities marking. Generates (as a secondary merge file) a list of the full forms and associated short forms used in a document. CONCATWP Combines a group of WP5 files into a single file, with or without separators between files. Useful for combining text and saving disk space. FREEZE "Freezes" styles, cross-references, and paragraph numbers, converting them to ordinary text so that they are no longer subject to change without explicit editing. LFSD Simulates List Files, but allows the files to be sorted in reverse date order (most recent first), date order, by extension, or by file name. For WP51 for DOS. MPSET Sets environmental variables in the DOS master environment. Aids communication between WP5 and other programs through environmental variables. PRIMO Converts merge codes to (bolded) ordinary text, for convenient printing and debugging of primary (or secondary) merge files. Much faster than the CODES macro. SHOWCODE Converts a WP5 file into more or less what you would see in Reveal Codes. A much more complete conversion than the CODES macro provides, and much, much faster. SHOWSET Lists most of the information in SET files. Find out what the default settings are without searching in WP5, print for future reference. STYLIB Helps manage your styles. Create a new style library by selecting styles from any or all of your existing style libraries and documents. WFWP Computes and lists the frequencies of words in WP5 files. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * INVOICE David Seidman Software by Seidman 2737 Devonshire Pl.
