- Pascal Source-Code Formatter
- ----------------------------
- Version 2.0
-
- MicroByte Software
-
- NON-REGISTERED COPY MANUAL
-
- This program is designed to format user specified aspects of a Turbo
- Pascal source code. Options include case, spacing, retyping, remark
- filter/include, and indent amount setting. It will make a backup copy
- of the original file. The backup filename will be the same name except
- for the extension .OLD will be used or .BAK if original is an .OLD
- file. Directory and filename may be specified at command line as
- follows:
-
- FORMPAS \Dirc\<filename>
-
- => COMMENTS and STRING CONSTANTS in code are unaffected!
-
- => SELECTED PASCAL PHRASES in all lower-case for low profile.
- (Like: then else do to in end)
-
- --------------NEW!--------NEW!---------NEW!----------------
-
- For registered users, the program can now take any compilable source
- and, word by word, retype the code into standard format with selected
- indenting and remark filtering. View Demo.Pas and Demo.Old for a
- demonstration of this feature combined with Case and Space formatting.
- All FormPas defaults were selected to create it.
-
- Hint: Don't worry about formatting at all when writing your code. Later
- have this program do an initial formatting of the file. Then, if
- needed, it only takes a little editing to add any special touches like
- embedded Upper case using a global replace function with an editor like
- ProWriter II, also available on GEnie(IBM roundtable).
-
- Hint: Use the compress program (supplied with registered copy to
- compress the file to take less disk space and then expand it by
- retyping using FormPas when needed. This is a neat space saver trick.
-
- Hint: Use program as teacher of standard form to new programmers.
- Formatting and structure is taught and programs are much more readable!
-
- This program took allot of development and patience. For a registered
- copy, manual and Compress program, send a check or money order for $15
