ToPP - To prof page - conversion tool Converts PROWRITE(2.0.1) and EXCELLENCE(v1.11) iff formats to PROF PAGE text format with imbedded ascii format codes. In PW or E! You create a document, save it from PW or E! (normal save) and ToPP reads it and creates a file (e.g. ram:temp) which you then import-text-(generic) into propage without losing many of the attributes of your text. Usage: topp [>output] file [-font][-margin][-justify][-L#] -font - suppress output of font information -margin - suppress output of margin information -justify - suppress output of justification information -l# - 1..9 (for 10..90% of prowrite 3 linespacing values below) default is 10 = 100% e.g. -l5 sets 120% to 60% first 3 options may be abreviated (-f = -font) line spacing and sub/super still uses source font size even if -f used Supports plain, bold, underline, or italic and combinations. Sub/Superscript sets baseline up or down 1/4th the size of the PREVIOUS font's size Paragraph spacing is supported. For Prowrite: uses 120 150 or 200 relative line spacing for single, 1-1/2, and double spaced For E! it translates spacing into leading points, with E! 15 setting = 0 Less than 15 becomes -n and greater than 15 is +n in points Font support is name and (integer) size Color support for Prowrite based on default colors which map to blue,red,green,magenta,cyan,yellow, and black Color support for E! you MUST define E10, ... E17 in prof page Paragraph left, center, right, and flush are supported. Paragraph indent, outdent, and no indent are supported but only in so far as they were specified. You must set the amounts in the tabs option of the box - only left margin and indent are examined and then only to see which is larger (or equal) Copyright (c) 1989 EBL - may be distributed freely (v1.1 8-2-89) New to version 1.1 is: 1. super/subscript support 2. Line spacing, paragraph, and indent/outdent support. 3. Not enough stack message forced to console instead of output file 4. Stack requirement reduced to 10k bytes. 5. Still has a 14k byte maximum buffer for any chunk - I don't think this is really gonna ever be reached though. Just thought I'd mention that. Program is in powerpacker format since on my 2500 it only takes 1 second to unpack and loads 1/2 second faster. You can always unpack it if you got a great big fast disk.
