Subject: WrdProc XEDIT: formatting macro for VM/CMS
Jim Coombs (IRIS, Brown) has once again contributed a very useful piece
of software to Humanist, his WrdProc XEDIT routine. This routine allows
the user to reformat a text under VM/CMS in various ways, as described in
the opening part of the documentation, attached below.
My thanks to Dr. Coombs for his generosity.

WrdProc: XEDIT Word Processing Program, Version 3.0
(C)Copyright James H. Coombs 1984
Use the WrdProc program to format lines of text. The lines may be
concatenated, concatenated and justified, or centered. Blank
lines may be discarded or retained, and the first line after a
blank line may begin a paragraph or a hanging indent. In
addition, each line may be bracketed by strings of characters;
this is primarily for formatting delimited comments in programs
but may also be used for creating fancy borders in notes, etc.
This version of WrdProc has the capacity to format letters and
other simple documents. It is probably most useful, however, for
cleaning up files that have been edited heavily. With a single
command, you can regularize the length of the lines so that as
much text as possible is displayed on the screen. In addition,
the spacing between words and after punctuation is automatically
regularized. Lines beginning with SCRIPT control words, however,
are left intact, as are lines in blocks for which the SCRIPT
concatenation function has been shut off.

--------------------
[A complete version of this document is now available on
the file-server, s.v. WRDPROC XEDIT. A copy may be obtained
by issuing the command -- GET filename filetype HUMANIST -- either
interactively or as a batch-job, addressed to ListServ@UToronto and
*not* to Humanist. Thus on a VM/CMS system, you say interactively:
TELL LISTSERV AT UTORONTO GET filename filetype HUMANIST; to submit
a batch-job, send mail to ListServ@UToronto with the GET command as
the first and only line. For more details see your "Guide to Humanist".
Problems should be reported to David Sitman, A79@TAUNIVM, after you
have consulted the Guide and tried all appropriate alternatives.]
