- This is !EdToAscii, version 1.10 (May 1991).
- Used to convert between EDWORD and ASCII text files.
- Drag the file to convert onto the icon.
-
- **************************************************
-
- vers 0.91 (2nd March 1991) converts EDWORD to ASCII
- Recognises
- 1. Tab command
- 2. Centering
-
- Note: these are not converted
-
- 1. Indented paragraphs
- 2. Margins of the original since if the converted
- document is to be imported into another
- package they are unlikely to be the same.
- 3. Because of 2 Centering may be wrong (centered
- on the original margins). And it is possible
- for words to be split on the righthand edge
- because I don't know where it is. The target
- package should handle that.
- 4 Underlining since the codes differ for the
- different packages and printers.
-
-
- It is possible to cope with 3 (above) and define
- the righthand margin but I would have to insert
- RETURNS at that edge. Hence text would not flow
- between new margins in the target package.
-
- Also converts ASCII to EDWORD format
-
- 1 A default page layout is provided
- 2 Blank lines and new paragraphs are recognised
-
- *******************************************************
