:BP,^^POW\ IS A PROGRAM THAT IS A "^PROCESSOR ^OF ^WORDS"
FOR THE 8080 COMPUTER.
^^POW\ MOST CLOSELY
RESEMBLES A PROGRAM CALLED ^^PRINTER\ WRITTEN BY
^CLYDE ^ROBY. ^^POW\ HAS THE ABILITY TO SET MARGINS, TABS,
SPACING, JUSTIFICATION, AND INDENTATION AND IN ADDITION
PROVIDES AUTOMATIC CENTERING, AND AUTOMATIC PAGING WITH TITLES
AND NUMBERING.
:BP,^THIS PROGRAM WORKS ON AN EXISTING FILE THAT HAS BEEN
PREPARED WITH SOME TYPE OF EDITOR AND SAVED ON A MASS
STORAGE DEVICE. ^I AM CURRENTLY USING A MODIFIED VERSION
OF ^F. ^J. ^GREEB'S EDITOR THAT WAS PUBLISHED IN ^^DDJ \
^JUNE-^JULY 1976, ALONG WITH ^PERIPHERAL ^VISION'S
FLOPPY DISC OPERATING SYSTEM.
^^POW\ HAS BEEN USED WITH CASSETTE TAPE, AND BY
SUBSTITUTING THE CASSETTE ^^I/O\ ROUTINES FOR THE
^^FDOS I/O\ ROUTINES, IT CAN EASILY BE CONVERTED BACK.
:BP,^COMMANDS ARE FREELY INSERTED INTO THE SOURCE
TEXT WHEN IT IS PREPARED. ^^POW\ WILL REACT TO
THOSE COMMANDS WHEN IT ENCOUNTERS THEM WHILE
PRINTING OUT THE FILE.
^COMMANDS ALL CONSIST OF THE SAME FORMAT WHICH IS
A COLON IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY A TWO LETTER
COMMAND NAME, THEN A DELIMITER WITH OPTIONAL DATA
FOR THE COMMAND, AND/OR A TERMINATOR. ^DELIMITERS
ARE EITHER A COMMA, OR A SPACE, AND A TERMINATOR
CAN BE EITHER A COMMA, A SPACE, OR NOTHING. ^THIS ALLOWS MAXIMUM
FREEDOM FROM RIGID COMMAND SYNTAX. ^A SAMPLE
OF THE COMMAND FORMAT IS SHOWN BY THE DEFINITION
OF MARGINS::LF,1
:CM,:^^DM\,10,70
:BP,^IN ADDITION TO THE LIST OF COMMANDS, ^^POW\ ALSO
HAS THE ABILITY TO ALLOW THE USE OF AN UPPER AND LOWER
CASE PRINTER WITH AN UPPER CASE ONLY INPUT FILE.
