- Introduction
-
- As time goes by more and more Mainframe Systems are being down
- sized to run on PC's, but one of the biggest setbacks are file with
- Tabs and Spaces. You may want to change your spaces to tabs to save space.
- JS-Space will convert X amount of spaces to a tab on a new output file. This
- will save you space on your disk.
-
- If you dont tell JS-Space the amount of spaces you want to be one tab,
- it will use the default of 4 spaces. this will make each set of 4 spaces to
- one tab this will save you 3 bytes in each set.
-
-
-
- JS-Space Ver 5.0 provides the following features:
-
- 1) Faster then JS-Space (Freeware Ver.).
-
- 3) No more need for a control file.
-
- 4) No limit on input file size.
-
- 5) For Huge file a fast and stealth mode.
-
-
-
- The JS-Space program must be provided with control information
- to govern its execution. This information is read from the command line.
- The format is:
- JS-Space [OPTION(S)]
-
- OPTIONS
- -------
-
- -i or -I THE INPUT FILE NAME.
-
- -o or -O THE OUTPUT FILE NAME.
-
- -k or -K TO DELETE INPUT FILE ON EXIT.
-
- -t or -T TO BEEP ON EXIT.
-
- -s or -S TURNS ON FAST AND STEALTH MODE.
-
- -d or -D CHANGE THE AMOUNT OF SPACES.
-
-
-
- Sample #1:
-
- JS-Space -I A:\TEST.DAT -O A:\NEW.OUT
-
- This tells the utility to use the file "A:\TEST.DAT" as the input file and
- use the file "A:\NEW.OUT" for the output file. The utility will use the
- default amount that is set to 4 spaces. So each set of 4 spaces will be
- turn into one tab.
-
-
-
- Sample #2:
-
- JS-Space -S -i A:\TEST.OUT -o A:\NEW.OUT
- This is the same thing as sample #1 but now the utility turns on
- fast and stealth mode. (You have to try it !)
-
-
-
- Sample #3:
-
- JS-Space -S -D 2 -i A:\TEST.OUT -o A:\NEW.OUT
- This is the same thing as sample #2 but now the utility will change
- each set of 2 spaces to a tab.
