- Things I would Like to Do with this Program
-
- If you have any ideas as to how I can accomplish any of these, please
- let me know , through E-Mail. (dburr@ocf.berkeley.edu)
-
- (UNIX Version)
-
- 1. Getting TextMaster to work with multiple files, processing each indi-
- vidually. (Using wildcard expansion)
-
- 2. Getting TextMaster to be able to accept only one filename, the "input"
- file. TextMaster will generate its own name for the outfile, by
- tacking on ".out" or ".conv" or something equally as meaningful
- to the name of the input file. ("text" becomes "text.out") This
- will be needed to complete #1, or else you would have to have the
- user prompted for a destination filename each time a new file is
- processed, which is messy.
-
- 3. Possible interface to XMODEM, ZMODEM, or some other protocol, so that
- when you convert files, they automatically get (up)/(down)loaded.
-
- 4. Adding IBM file format support.
-
- 5. I don't know! If you can think of something I can do to improve this,
- let me know through email!
-
- (Macintosh Version)
-
- 1. Cleaning up the code some, removing/fixing inconsistencies, duplicates,
- functions not needed, etc.
-
- 2. Allowing you to choose a filename for the output file, instead of
- tacking on the ".out" to the file you open, like it does now.
-
- 3. Adding a better user interface, with a possible Progress dialog box,
- and a dialog that displays when you finish, as well as a dialog that
- pops up if errors occur.
-
- 4. Incorporate error checking in the Mac version.
-
- 5. Making the file type/creator settable (i.e. if you want files to
- come out with filetype "MSWD" for you Microsoft freaks). Also, fixing
- the Mac -> UNIX transfer so that it will save as filetype "TEXT";
- see BUGS for more details.
-
- 6. Adding IBM file format support in both Mac and UNIX ends.
-
- 7. Incorporating Batch Processing into TextMaster. This way, you could
- convert a whole folder of files all at the same time.
-
- 8. I don't know! If you can think of something I can do to improve this,
- let me know through email!
