- This program is Shareware.
- This means that you can copy this program to anyone you like, but if you
- find the program useful, you should register, as explained below. This
- entitles you to the latest version of this program, and of all my other
- applications.
- If you do copy the program it should be in its original format, with ALL of
- the accompanying files. That is : !Boot
- !Help
- !Run
- !RunImage
- !Sprites

- Purpose
- -------
- To remove any leading or trailing spaces from a text file.
-
-
- To use
- ------
- Double click on the icon in the filer window, to load the program. This
- will install an icon on the icon bar. From here, dragging a file onto the
- icon will open a save window. Enter a filename, or just press RETURN to
- overwrite the original file, or drag the icon onto a filer window. If the
- file dragged onto the icon is not a text file (type &FFF), then a window
- will open, asking whether you are sure you wish to remove the trailing
- spaces from that file. Selecting 'YES' will continue the process, and
- selecting 'NO' will close the window with no further action being taken. The
- program should work fine on any plain ASCII file, e.g. Obey, Command. If in
- doubt abort the operation - you never know what might happen!!
- Pressing the middle button on the icon on the icon bar will open a menu,
- allowing you to get information about the program, to set options and to
- quit the program.
- The options which can be set determine whether the program is to remove
- leading spaces, trailing spaces, or both, from the file. To set them, simply
- move across to the window, from the menu, and click on which ones you wish
- to be done. If the blue shape is there then the option is set. To update the
- options, click on the OK icon.
- N.B. If the same input and output name is given, the program will need to
- have the system variable '<Wimp$ScrapDir>' set. This can be done by
- double-clicking on a copy of !System or !Scrap, available from any Acorn
- dealer, if you don't have a copy.
- When the process is finished, a window will open showing you the size of
- the file before and after the process.
- This program also supports interactive help.
