- PARSE modification 2
-
- PARSE is a program to count words and sentences in a
- text file and calculate a reading level. The nice part of this
- is that the program is only about 800 bytes, perfect for the
- Portfoilo.
-
- This program first appeared in PC Magazine, and is
- copyrighted by Ziff-Davis, Inc, and was written by Michael J.
- Mefford. I only modified it to perform better on the Atari.
-
- MODIFICATION 1
-
- I modified the report output so that the display would fit
- on the 8-line display of the Portoilo, without scrolling off the
- screen.
-
- MODIFICATION 2
-
- If you ran this program on a text file that contained no
- sentences, the program would cause an divide overflow error. On the
- Portfoilo, the divide overflow seemed to wipe out my internal
- memory disk (C:). I've modified the program to test the
- sentence count, so if it is 0, the average number of words per
- sentence and the grade level are not calculated or displayed.
