<bigger>Hi folks, Thursday (29 January
1998)
The following files are in '/pub/pwg/tools/ (DOS executables):
cscan.exe - Character Scan Utility
maxln.exe - Maximum Line Length Scan Utility
overx.exe - Overstrike Merge Utility
strip.exe - Control Character Strip Utility
Each of the programs has a -h option which explains the command line.
Sometimes, MIBs produced with MS-WORD cannot be successfully
stripped of headers and footers. The fix is to run my text utility
'overx', which
folds line fragemnts from overstrike lines (fragments end in single
carriage returns, without a following linefeed/newline) to combine them
into a single canonical line - the 'generic text driver' with some or
all versions of MS Word yields such overstrike lines when used with
Tom's styles - I wrote 'overx' last year, to help Tom out - these
latest
Job Mon files caused me to find and fix a small bug in 'overx'.
