INTRODUCTION

 mwrescue -- rescue a damaged MacWrite file (version 3.0 and later)

  Versions of MacWrite after 3.0 and before 4.0 have been unreliable.
  This program decodes damaged MacWrite files and recovers the text in
  them (once you've uploaded them to Amiga).  Someone should get it
  running on the native Mac.
 
  It is currently very simple since it treats the entire file as compacted 
  text.  However, MacWrite files can also contain some uncompacted text 
  and some formatting information.  The uncompacted text can be retrieved
  with the Unix strings command.  The formatting information is output by
  this program as nonsense text.  
 
  The text retrieved by this program emerges in the order it is stored in 
  the file by MacWrite, which is not necessarily the order in which it is 
  supposed to appear in the document.
 
  As primitive as this program is, I'm releasing it because:
 	1) I hope someone will improve it.
 	2) I've found that panicked students are more than glad to get
 		their papers back even if the paragraphs are in random
 		order with garbage text in between.

                              USAGE

 from CLI/Shell only.
