- Neat - another Uselessware product from Amazing Developments.
- -------------------------------------------------------------
-
- WHAT IT DOES
-
- Feed it a text file, and it'll reformat it so that each line is always less
- than 80 columns in length.
-
- It also has the option of removing existing carriage returns, should you want
- it to. It's dead handy for formatting any random signatures you might have
- lying around.
-
- This readme was formatted with it, to prove just how great it truly is.
-
- WHY IT'S GREAT
-
- Werl. I wrote it, for a kick off. And it's capable of neatening any size of
- file, limited only by the amount of RAM you have. And it's fairly small.
- And it's free.
-
- HOW TO USE IT
-
- neat STRIP/S filename
-
- The STRIP switch tells Neat to remove any carriage returns it locates in the
- text, reformatting the lines appropriately. Otherwise it will retain them.
- It depends on your preference, really.
-
- Actually, you can use any name for the switch. It doesn't actually matter.
- If the switch is there, it'll remove CRs.
-
- OTHER STUFF
-
- Neat is freely distributable copyright (c) 1994 Amazing Developments/Simon
- Brown and all that malarkey. Use it, give it to your mates, throw it out of
- the window, I don't care.
-
- All I ask is this: If you're thinking of buying a Whigfield single, stop.
- Take a good hard look at what you're doing. And buy something by the Grid, or
- New Order, or even Kylie, for gods' sake.
-
- Whigfield - Just say "sod off, you useless tart."

- Simes.
