- I've made a few changes to Scribble and Crayon.
-
-
- To Scribble, I've added an "INDENT" environment which indents the
- left margin by a half inch. I also modified Scribble so that
- documents can be sectioned without being "chaptered". This
- involved changing the section heading print logic (to omit the
- chapter number) and changing the table-of-contents code to not
- print chapter numbers. All of the preceding changes were made as
- source changes to AUXIL.C and COMMTOO.C .
-
- I hacked CRAYON up so that it understands the new parameter of
- "-page n" where "n" is an integer page number where CRAYON
- should first start printing. This "n" has nothing to do with the
- page numbering scheme, but is simply the ordinal page number as
- CRAYON prints pages. I don't understand how CRAYON works, so this
- change is a true genuine hack; it is not elegant (in fact, its
- hardly decent). The changes occur in files CRAYON.H, CRAYON.C,
- and DRIVER.C . When you specify the "-page" option to CRAYON, it
- still passes all the text of the file but doesn't begin printing
- until the beginning of the designated page. This means that
- printing may not start as quickly as you are used to. Don't
- despair, its still faster than printing all those unwanted pages.
- Before printing anything, a formfeed is output (I tried to
- alleviate this, but was completely unsuccessful).
-
- All changes which I've made to the source files are marked by a
- comment of the form: /* jds */ .
-
- Good luck to all who try to use this stuff.

- I have chosen to include only the functions that Jeffrey changed in
- Scribble and Crayon 1.0. This should be more than sufficent for anyone
- to implement the same changes as Jeffrey has. If this seems
- unacceptable to anyone else, find me a better way and we will try it.
