Program Description:
The Writer's Toolkit is a collection of 20 useful utility programs. Most of
these programs are filters for text files. The programs work as shown in the
documentation. Anyone doing alot of word processing or programming would be
interested in having these programs in their library. These programs were tested
on an IBM XT with a color monitor and an Epson FX-80 printer. Dos ver. 2.0. The
authors do not specify what equipment these programs will run with.
The documentation is concise, complete, well written and has many examples
showing how to use the programs. Some of the examples will not run exactly as
shown because the text files shown in the command do not exist on the disk. For
these examples, just substitute the name of an existing text file.
Notes on some of the programs.
CAL.EXE Only appears to work between the dates of 1901 to 1989.
CAPITALS.EXE If you try the example "CAPITALS <EXAMPLE" , you will
have to hit CTRL-Break to return to DOS.
COLOR.EXE You will need to have a CONFIG.SYS file with the
command "DEVICE=ANSI.SYS" in it. Otherwise, you will
see the escape sequences also. Try it with and
without the CONFIG.SYS file.
DETAB.EXE This converts tab characters into spaces. The
documentation is a little confusing on this one.
DUP.EXE The source text must be sorted. Use the DOS sort
filter to sort the source text.
ENCRYPT.EXE Dont forget the encryption key used to encrypt the file.
ENTAB.EXE Replaces groups of 8 spaces with the tab character. The
documentation is a little confusing.
FREQ.EXE Only works on a sorted list of words. You will have to
use the "words" and "sort" filters on the text before
you use the "freq" filter. See the example in the
documentation file.
MEMO.EXE This is the most interesting program on the disk. This
program displays a list of memos that have the system
date.
NL.EXE If you add line numbers to your text file be aware that
there is no command to remove them. The 2nd example in
the documentation will not work because there is no
"grep" command on the disk.
WHITE.EXE Counts the spaces, tabs and newlines in a text file.
WORDS.EXE Puts all the words in a text file on separate lines.
This must be done first before the "freq" filter will
work correctly.
