AutoQuotes etc. in XY4DOS

[TBaehr@xxxxxxxx]

Here are some programs that automatically convert, as you type,
your typed quotes into "real" curly quotese, (2) two hyphens to
an em dash while allowing you to type single hyphens and rows of
hyphens without converting, and (3) combinations of "f" and a
letter -- fi, fl, ff, ffi, ffl -- into their ligatured
counterparts. The programs work in conjunction with
AutoCheck or AutoReplace.

Each program is to be "loaded" on a key using the LDPM command (in your
STARTUP.INT file is best). So you need to modify your keyboard file and your
STARTUP.INT file before using the programs. The programs are
collected in a file TYPING.ZIP, which is presented here in the
XXBUG format. To create
TYPING.ZIP, download *this* file to your hard disk and make an
extra copy of it so you can keep the instructions. Open the copy
in XyWrite, and delete everything before and after (and
including) the lines that contain "CUT
HERE." Save the file as TYPING.SCR. Then go to DOS and type DEBUG <
TYPING.SCR. A new file, TYPING.ZIP, will be created.

When you unzip TYPING.ZIP, you'll get QUOTE.PGM, DASH.PGM, and
EFF.PGM -- and also a file called ADDTHIS. Stash them in the same subdirectory as
EDITOR.EXE or anything else in your path.

Now do surgery on STARTUP.INT by adding the lines in ADDTHIS to your
STARTUP.INT file. the lines look like this:
BX LDPM QUOTE.PGM Q2,&Q ;*;
BX LDPM DASH.PGM Q2,&D ;*;
BX LDPM EFF.PGM Q2,&F ;*;

You can add them almost anywhere in STARTUP.INT by opening the
INT file, going to the beginning of a line, hitting F5, and
typing ME ADDTHIS and hitting Enter.

Save the file. Then quit and restart XyWrite.

Now modify your keyboard file by putting
40=&q in the SHIFT and CAPS+SHIFT tables
12=&d in the main table and the CAPS table
33=&f in the main table and the CAPS+SHIFT table.

You can comment out the old key assignments by typing a semicolon
at the beginning of the line.

Save and load the keyboard file.

Now when you want to automatically type curly quotes and the
other stuff, just activate AutoCheck or AutoReplace.

Limitation: This works best with Speedo fonts. I don't have
much experience with what TrueType fonts do under Windows.

Here's what happens: You type a quote and you get the
up-and-down hashmarks.
 If the next character is a letter or number, you get ASCII 264.
If the next character is a space or carriage return (there are
other characters in the macros, which you can see of you look at
them), you get ASCII 265. You type a hyphen. If the next
character is anything but another hyphen, the program ends and
all you get is the hyphen. You type a second hyphen. Now two of
them show on screen. If the next character is a hyphen, the
program ends and all you get is three or more hyphens. If the
next character is anything else, the hyphens are converted to
ASCII 260. You type f. If the next character is i or l, you get
the ligatured counterpart. If the next character is f, you get
another f. Then if the next character is i or l, you get the
ligatured ffi or ffl. If the next character is anything else,
you get the ligatured ff. You have to be in WYSIWYG mode to see
them, of course.

Have fun!
