251.1 | Scribble works.. | CHEF::ACCIARDI | | Mon Jan 12 1987 09:45 | 5 |
| Randy, I send text files to the VAX using Scribble! by filing the
document as a sequential 'printer' file. I then do a straight ASCII
upload by logging onto VMS and typing 'create file.txt,1'. This
has always worked for me. I as unable to do it using ASCII Textcraft
files.

| Gee, I really wanted to avoid buying yet another word processor.

251.3 | CRLF.ARC | AUTHOR::MACDONALD | | Mon Jan 12 1987 11:22 | 2 |
| I have a file I'll upload called CRLF.ARC that automatically adds
or removes the appropriate CRTL characters for CR and LF.

| I could be wrong but doesn't the CP/M option in XMODEM translate
the <LF>'s into <LF><CR>'s?
I haven't done any uploads, but I use Scribble too. The menu
contains an option to save a file with any combination of <LF>
and <CR>.

| I already have CRLF. The problem is that the textcraft files don't
seem to have anything in them to start with. If you hit return,
you get a return, but what appears wrapped on screen when editing
the file, is nothing more than a very very long line of text.
I used to have a program for my Atari 800 that would take files
like this and put returns in every 70-80 characters, looking for
spaces to create a clean word wrap. It worked beautifully, but
was SLOW. If I could get something like that for the Amiga, I would
be all set.
But then again, perhaps I should just get Scribble.

| re 251.1 'create file.txt,1'
Just did help on CREATE. That's neat! The ",1" dump the extra line
into the file 1.x. Do I have this right?
