- • Why TextWrapper
-
- I wrote TextWrapper because I didn't like other existing utilities like the
- one with BBEdit, which wraps the whole file into a mess.
-
- TextWrapper wraps only the lines that exceeds a user-specified length and
- keeps the existing format as is.
-
- TextWrapper also converts DOS and UNIX files into Mac files automatically.
-
- • What's new (version history)
-
- - Version 0.5 fixed a bug in version 0.4.1 that caused loss of text.
- More precise wrapping with tabs.
- Supports indentation.
-
- - Version 0.4.1 fixed a bug which causes crash when a decorating line
- has a length longer than what users specify.
-
- - Version 0.4 uses a totally new approach that makes wrapping quicker
- and more accurate.
-
- - Version 0.2 is the first releasing and uses an algorithm that is different
- from the later versions.
-
- • Interface
-
- TextWrapper is written in pure C codes and thus doesn't have a Mac
- interface other than the nifty console supported by Sym C++ 8.0.3.
-
- All it does is ask for the names of the input and output file, the option of whether
- to indent or not, and the sizes of the tab and line, wraps the text and quits.
-
- • Input and output
-
- File names containing white characters are supported. You may also use colon(s) to
- specify the folder in which the input and/or output files are stored. By default, both
- input and output files are assumed to be in the same folder as that of TextWrapper.
-
- • Future supporting
-
- Bugs and bad performance will be fixed if found.
-
- Send E-mails if you have any special needs for formatting.
-
- I'd like, too, to add drag and drop interface to it if I will have more free time,
- and if I get to know that TextWrapper is absolutely useful.
-
- • Legal stuff
-
- TextWrapper is yet free but copyrighted.
