RE: PGM scripts and Xywrite.

[Mark Butler mark.butler@xxxxxxxx]

Hi Rob,

Thank you for your response, I think the idea is to create sed files from
the PGM scripts and run these from a Perl Script. As we use Macs this means
we can dispose of XyWrite and the PC's it runs on. What I need to know is
what the commands in the PGM files mean? Is there a format or are they
simply search and replaces.

I've attached a Zipped file as you said. I think the format was wrong last
time as I cut and pasted it from Vim on a unix box. The format is more
readable when viewing from Windows.

Thank you for your help.

Mark.

Mark:

Your Emailer is using Windows ANSI encoding (ISO-8859-1/CodePage 1252) to
process a CodePage 437 file. It doesn't work. It's gobbledegook. You need
to
attach that ProGraM in *binary* form. ZIP up the *actual source file*
without
processing through any other program -- e.g. do NOT Copy and Paste! do not
supply just an "example" part of it, provide ALL of it! -- then attach to
another Email.

Translation program to what? To Perl? What for? Presumably, your source
documents are XyWrite files, and this program presumably processes them with
due regard for XyWrite's own format. If you're going to port your source
docs
to another program, then you're going to need to use the native macro
language
of that program to get Quark results. Or so I would think.
