- TBFMT (1.9b) - by Unique Software Registration($25.00)
-
- I suspect that this program has something to do with formatting Turbo
- Basic source files, though I am unable to find any statement of its
- purpose in the documentation. The following is most of the manual
- without the licensing info and edit history.

- Why doesn't TBFMT ...
-
- We have attempted to account for numerous ways of programming in Turbo
- Basic. When you find something that TBFMT doesn't do quite the way you
- would like it, let us know. Many of TBFMT's features were suggested by
- users. However, TBFMT cannot be all things to all people. If we
- incorporated every request into TBFMT, the size of TBFMT would of course
- grow rapidly but unfortunately the speed at which TBFMT operates would
- also be degraded rapidly. We don't think that you, the users, would
- mind a larger program, but a slower program is never welcome.
-
-
- DO : WEND ? WHILE : LOOP
-
- Yes these are valid Turbo Basic combinations. Therefore instead of
- introducing numerous lines of code into TBFMT which would also degrade
- performance, we have altered the variable indent width of both DO and
- WHILE to four spaces. Therefore, if you use the variable indent width,
- your WHILE loops may not look aligned properly but they will be what
- TBFMT contains.
