WHAT IS ASPWAS?
---------------
ASPWAS is a program to assist you in converting an ASPect script
to a WASpect script.
Here the emphasis is upon ASSIST. It is a rare case when ASPWAS
will be able to convert your script without producing any warning
messages.
ASPWAS warnings and hints are preceeded and terminated with '@',
for example, @WXMODEM Not implemented in PW@ or @No equivalent@ or
@Use SET DialDir Access and FETCH MetaKeyFile@ or
@See $TERMCOLS,$XPIXELS@.
All lines in the resulting Waspect script which will require
your further attention are displayed on the screen and also
written to a file with the extension .WRN.
The .WRN file contains only those lines which require your attention.
The .WRN file does not contain those lines which were successfully
converted and which consequently require no action on your part.
ASPWAS will correctly convert Aspect WHEN-TRANSMIT statements by
generating a call to a procedure which transmits the desired
string.
MDIAL and DIAL commands will be converted and WHILE $DIALING,
ENDWHILE, PAUSE 1 will be inserted following any MDIAL or DIAL
command.
Names which appear in the Aspect script which are now reserved
words, such as Password, are prefixed with two underscores thus
avoiding any conflicts with the new reserved words.
The predined variables n0..n9 are converted to their new names
of i0..i9. If you have used i0..i9 in your Aspect script
then ASPWAS will rename these for you by suffixing the name
with IIII.
HOW TO INVOKE ASPWAS
--------------------
At the Dos prompt type ASPWAS and the command format will be
displayed and explained.
WHAT IS SANDEFJORD'S TIER'N?
----------------------------
Sandefjord's Tier'n is a 100 kilometer walk in Sandefjord, Norway
with a 24 hour time limit.
Shorter distances are also offered, eg, 10,20, and 65 kilometers.
This walk is NOT a race and is held every year in the last half
of August.
In 1992 the 100 kilometer walk starts on the 22nd of August at 7 a.m.
Sandefjord's Tier'n translated to english would be Sandefjord's Ten'r.
A Norwegian mile is 10 kilometers and ten miles is then 100 kilometers.
