EndLine has been available for a while, but has been constrained by
the language it was written in (ZBasic) to a huge size and non-HFS
compatibility. File # 3006 is the new, Lightspeed Pascal version of
EndLine, which solves both of these problems. It has shrunk from 40K
to 5K, and no longer needs to reside in the same folder as the target
file(s).
For those who have not used it, EndLine is a utility to add forced
line breaks (carriage returns) to text files. The major use for this
is in uploading messages to a bulletin board: you can compose them with
MockWrite (or any text file editor), allowing the lines to word-wrap for
conveniance in editing. When you're done, just run the file through
EndLine (it creates a file with the same name as the input, suffixed by
.OUT), and voila!--your lines are now no longer than 70 characters (you
can set the length you prefer with ResEdit), and all line breaks occur
at spaces (as opposed to right on the 70th character, a la Red Ryder).
EndLine was written as my very first programming attempt on the Macintosh
and was inspired by a request for such a utility that appeared in the
"programming ideas wanted" topic of a category on this BB. EndLine is
free for the taking. So take!
