UNRF (UnReFormat) Utility
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
Using the RF utility to reformat custom word lists into easily readable and
printable 4-across or more listings has one drawback. The RF'd list cannot at
that point be operated on by the other WORDY utilities, and furthermore, it
is would require tedious hand-editing to restore the list to its original 1-
across format. The UNRF (unreformat) utility is specifically designed to
reverse the effects of RF on a file.
To use UNRF, it will still be necessary to "edit" the RF'd file to delete the
"header" and "footer" lines, that is, the lines at the top and bottom of the
file that title and describe the word list, but are not actually the listed
words. The following example shows which lines to delete from a typical file
generated by the ANAGRAM utility from the letters WORKING:

The contents of the edited file will now appear as follows:
gin gink girn giro giron go gor
gowk gown grin groin grow grown ikon
in ink inro ion irk iron kin
king kino kir kirn know koi kor
no nog noir nor nori now oink
on or ow owing own rig rin

wink wino wo wog wok won wonk
work working worn wring wrong
You may now UNRF the edited file, UNRF FILENAME, where filename is the name
of the edited file. The UNRF'd file will appear as follows:
gin
gink
girn
giro
...
... (all the other words in between)
...
wrong
The file has been restored to its original 1-across format, minus its header
and footer lines. The rest of the WORDY utilities will now work on it again.

UNRF may also be used, with some care, to convert certain word lists from
other applications to 1-across format. The words in the lists must use "white
space", that is, spaces or tabs as separators, and contains only alphabetical
characters.
