- To correctly view this Tutorial the first time, make sure you are in
- the ASCII Mode, Opposite Scroll Mode and BlankIgnore is On. If you are
- not sure, press [C] and set these two modes in the Configuration
- Function. The directions on the end of each line (in CAPITAL LETTERS)
- will demonstrate the various features. <--PRESS [*] WHEN READY TO BEGIN
-
- File with Indent 2 <-- NOW PRESS [*] AGAIN
- This file has a standard indent of 2 spaces. <-PRESS [*]
-
- (Both files consist of an excerpt from the DoubleTake User's Manual,
- with helpful comments added to demonstrate some of the features.)
- Press ScrollLock to scroll the files independently. Now use
- [Right/Left] arrows to re-align the cursor in File 1, [Shift-Right/
- Shift-Left] arrows to move the cursor in File 2.
-
- (This file has random x's scattered to find differences
- between this file and TUTORFIL.TWO) <-PRESS [DownArr] THEN [*]

- NOTE: If this is an error you found, then you do not have
- BlankIgnore ON, Press [B], then [T]op of file and then press [*] again.

- Compared lines show on the middxle screen <-PRESS [A] THEN [*]
- lines for direct comparison. | <-- AFTER PRESSING AUTO-ALIGN
-
- After finding the mismatches (x's), use [C]onfigure-[F10] to edit the
- characters to ignore and add [x] to the list (Hex 78), then try Find
- Next Mismatch again ([*]). You will find that none of the mismatched x's
- will be found this time around.
-
- NOTE: In HEX mode, use the [Left]/[Right] keys to move the cursor
- in file 1 (or [Ctl-Left]/[Ctl-Right] if this file is loaded as file 2),
- to re-align the files before searching for Next Mismatch.

- What's New!
-
- 1. ASCII Mode. A key improvement in DoubleTake, Version 2.0,
- is the implementation of a fully functional ASCII viewing mode.
- In Versxion 2.0 ASCII Mode and Hex mode share many features:
-
- o Fully scrollable forward or backwards, any length file.
-
- (NOW PRESS THE [TAB] KEY TO SCROLL THE DISPLAY TO THE RIGHT TO SEE THE REMAINDER OF THIS LINE.)
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- o Cursor movxement keys can move each file line by line or character by character.
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- (NOW PRESS THE [TAB] KEY TO SCROLL THE DISPLAY TO THE RIGHT TO SEE THE REMAINDER OF THIS LINE.)
-
- o Can move a "cursor" character by character in each
- file.
-
- o Twin Cursor Scrollxing -- Scroll Lock toggles whether
- both file character cursors move together when you
- press the Right/Left arrows. Starts with Twin Cursor
- Scrolling On.
-
- o FindString highlights the found string (in case you
- want to save the block to a clip file.)
-
- o FindString, FindNexxtMismatch and Align Files remain at
- the current spot in the file if you do not find a
- string, mismatch or a spot to align in a file.
-
- o Added ability to enter Hex or Decimal codes when x
- searching for a string. (to search for non-printing
- charcters, such as CR or LF or TAB). Use no quotes if
- entering just a sxtring; Use quotes if you want to mix
- hex ($20 (space character) for example) and decimal
- (\032 (space character) for example) along with the
- strings.
-
- o DoubleTake provides a configurable Align files
- function. Pressing AltA lets you choose:
-
- 1) which file to align with which,
- 2) how much of the "Align-with" file to search for
- in the "bring-into-alignment" file,
- 3) which wxay to search for in the "bring-into-
- alignment" file,
- 4) how many characters to check in the "bring-
- into- alignment" file and
- 5) whether to ignore upper/lower case in the
- search. If Blank Ignore is on, all "IGNORE"
- characters are ignored in finding a match.
-
- (NOW TRY THE ALIGN FUNCTION BY PRESSING [ALT-A], [2] AND [ENTER]. YOU
- SHOULD SEE FILE 2 MOVE FORWARD ONE CHARACTER TO ONCE MORE ALIGN WITH FILE
- 1).
-
- 2. In addition, ASCII Mode has the fxollowing features:
-
- o ASCII Mode has configurable End of Line characters.
- The default characters are Carriage Return (ASCII code
- hex $0D), Line Feed ($0A), CR with high bit set
- (WordStar, ASCII code $8D) and Linefeed with high bit
- set ($8A). You can choose your own End of Line codes
- to adapt DoubleTake to your specific word processor.
-
- o Either one or two xcharacter End of Line characters can
- be handled. DoubleTake recognizes Carriage Return (CR)
- and Linefeed (LF) as the end of a single line. If the
- same End of Line character occurs twice in sucession,
- DoubleTake assumes that this file only uses the one
- character to indicate End of Line and will reflect two
- lines, one for each End of Line character.
-
- o DoubleTake shows either Line xNumber Mode or Show Byte
- At Cursor Mode. In the Line Number Mode, DoubleTake
- shows the actual line in the file
- o
-
- o ASCII Mode uses the Tab and Shift-Tab keys to scroll
- the screen right or xleft to view lines wider than the
- screen width. Can scroll either file independently or
- both together. A Quick-Return-to-Column-One key
- (RightShift-Tab) returns both files to the left margin)
-
- o Added the ability to highlight a block and write it to
- a clip file of your own choice. Two clip files are
- available, one for each file, but you may change either
- or both clip files as you cxhoose. Clip filenames
- default to the same filename as the compared file, with
- the extension of ".CLP," but you can change any part of
- the name
-
- o You can enter a new filename, overwrite an existing
- clip file or contixnuously add to the end of it.
-
- Now that a file can be read successfully in either Hex or
- ASCII mode, DoubleTake does not check a file for non-printing
- characters -- it starts in the mode you set when you configured
- the file.
