- EndLine has been available for a while, but has been constrained by
- the language it was written in (ZBasic) to a huge size and non-HFS
- compatibility. File # 3006 is the new, Lightspeed Pascal version of
- EndLine, which solves both of these problems. It has shrunk from 40K
- to 5K, and no longer needs to reside in the same folder as the target
- file(s).
-
- For those who have not used it, EndLine is a utility to add forced
- line breaks (carriage returns) to text files. The major use for this
- is in uploading messages to a bulletin board: you can compose them with
- MockWrite (or any text file editor), allowing the lines to word-wrap for
- conveniance in editing. When you're done, just run the file through
- EndLine (it creates a file with the same name as the input, suffixed by
- .OUT), and voila!--your lines are now no longer than 70 characters (you
- can set the length you prefer with ResEdit), and all line breaks occur
- at spaces (as opposed to right on the 70th character, a la Red Ryder).
-
- EndLine was written as my very first programming attempt on the Macintosh
- and was inspired by a request for such a utility that appeared in the
- "programming ideas wanted" topic of a category on this BB. EndLine is
- free for the taking. So take!
