OTHER PROGRAMS FROM SOFTWARE BY SEIDMAN
In addition to WPTOOLS, Software by Seidman publishes several
other WordPerfect-related shareware programs. These programs are
distributed through the usual shareware channels, and you may obtain
them that way and try them before you register.
If you prefer, you can obtain the programs directly from us by
sending the license fee and $2.00 for shipping and handling. The
programs are described below, and an order form appears after the
descriptions.
Special rates are available for large quantities or site
licenses. Please write and ask. Or you can reach us through
CompuServe, 70441, 2414.
------------------------------------------------------------
WPMD -- The Wperf5 File Doctor
--------------------------------
WPMD fixes sick or broken WordPerfect Version 5.x files. There are
many different symptoms of a sick or broken file. Sometimes some or
all of the text disappears, although the file size indicates that the
text should still be there. Sometimes WPerf5 fails to recognize the
file as a WPerf5 document file. And sometimes other things go wrong.
WPMD can usually cure the file, creating a WPerf5 file requiring only
minor cleanup.
------------------------------------------------------------
MACROAID
--------
MacroAid includes seven utility programs for use with WordPerfect
Corporation program macros. They work with macros for WordPerfect 5.0
and 5.1, PlanPerfect 5.0 and 5.1, DrawPerfect 1.0 and 1.1, ED 3.0,
LetterPerfect 1.0, and Shell 3.0. They may work with later versions
and other programs as well. (The will not work with the Windows
version of WordPerfect.) These programs are primarily intended for the
serious macro writer. MacroAid also includes a shell program to
facilitate using the utility programs.
Here are brief descriptions of the seven application programs:
MacArgs: Changes assignments to macro variables with DOS commands.
The DOS command
MacArgs MyMacro.wpm -0Newstring -1AnotherString
changes
{ASSIGN}0~OldString~{ASSIGN}1~stuff~
to
{ASSIGN}0~NewString~{ASSIGN}1~AnotherString~
in MyMacro. Example uses: (1) write self-modifying macros that store
new information for later use, as for macros to number invoices
consecutively; (2) customize complex macros for different users.
MacAscii: Converts macros to ASCII text files or WordPerfect documents
so that they can be edited in WordPerfect or an ASCII text editor.
MacAscii also converts the ASCII text file or WordPerfect document back
to a macro. Allows editing of macros too big for the built-in macro
editor; editing of SH macros without WPCorp's ED editor; easy printing
of macros; use of powerful text processing and editing tools readily
available for ASCII text files.
MacCalls: Lists the files required by {CHAIN}, {NEST}, and {SHELL
MACRO} commands in a macro and the files required by these files.
MacCrush: Compresses macros by eliminating comments and the tabs and
spaces used only for formatting; replaces variable names and labels
with two-character names and labels. Makes your macros load and
execute faster.
MacChang: Changes the product type and version numbers stored within
macros. Changing your carefully developed WordPerfect macros to
PlanPerfect macros, for example, sometimes results in a working
PlanPerfect macro and should always at least make the conversion
process easier.
MacFind: Searches for text strings, macro commands, and key commands
in macros specified with wildcard file specifications.
MacRef: Provides a cross-reference listing of a macro -- a file with a
line-numbered version of the text of the macro and a listing of each
macro command, key command, variable name, shell variable name, label,
and called file, with the line numbers on which each appears. An
essential tool for the development and debugging of complex macros.
------------------------------------------------------------
GV2WP
-----
GV2WP converts GrandView files to WordPerfect 4.2 or 5.0 files. The
conversion is accomplished in a single step (in which GV2WP calls
GV2TXT, a program by the author of GrandView, included with GV2WP).
GV heading labels are converted to WordPerfect automatic paragraph
number. Underlining, bolding, and other font attributes, and font
size changes are preserved if you are converting to WordPerfect 5.0.
Category information is optionally converted. Special codes allow
drafting of footnotes in GrandView for conversion to WordPerfect.
Numerous formatting options are available.
------------------------------------------------------------
PCOWP
-----
PCOWP converts structured files produced by PC-Outline and other
outlining programs to WordPerfect 4.2 or 5.0 files. Heading labels
are converted to WordPerfect automatic paragraph numbers. With minor
preprocessing by one PCOWP option, PC-Outline underlining is
converted. Special codes can be used in your outlining program to
allow conversion of other attributes, footnotes, and other features.
Numerous formatting options are available.
------------------------------------------------------------
WPXREF
------
WPXREF provides for WPerf4.2 the kind of automatic reference
capability that WordPerfect Corporation itself provided for WPerf5.0.
You place some simple codes in your WPerf4.2 document indicating the
cross-references you want. Just before printing the file, you run
WPXREF on the file, creating a new output file in which the codes have
been replaced by correct and up to date cross references to footnote
numbers, paragraph numbers, and page numbers. You can then revise
your original document, and run WPXREF on the revised original. The
new output file has updated the cross-references to correspond to the
changes you made in editing.
------------------------------------------------------------
Software by Seidman also publishes several WordPerfect-related programs
that are not available as shareware. If you have any interest in these
programs, please let us know. These programs include the following
two:
REMAP
-----
REMAP translates any of the characters in the WordPerfect character
sets to any other character in the WordPerfect character sets. The
user supplies an ascii text file, each line of which specifies, by
character set and character position, a character to be translated and
the character to which it is to be translated. Thus a single pass
through the document can handle as many replacements (translations) as
desired.
COUNTEM
-------
COUNTEM counts the words in a WordPerfect file. Why use it instead of
the word counting function built into WordPerfect? First, COUNTEM is
faster on a file by file basis, and, if you have multiple files to
process, is still faster overall, because it can handle wildcard input
file specifications. Second, COUNTEM and WordPerfect have somewhat
different ideas of what constitutes a word. The most important
difference is that COUNTEM will treat as a word a string of WordPerfect
characters that all display on screen as little boxes instead of proper
characters. Thus even if you are using WordPerfect's English language
module, you can count words written entirely in alphabets that do not
display on screen. There are other differences in the way the two
programs define words, but COUNTEM's definitions can easily be modified
to meet your needs. In other words, we are prepared to customize the
definition of a word in COUNTEM.
