OTHER PROGRAMS FROM SOFTWARE BY SEIDMAN Software by Seidman publishes a number of shareware utilities for use with WordPerfect. One package of utilities, 6TOOLS, works with WordPerfect 6. The others are for earlier versions of WordPerfect. Most work with 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2, although a few cannot be used with 5.0 and a few cannot be used with the WordPerfect 5.1 and 5.2 for Windows. These programs are distributed through the usual shareware channels, and you may obtain them that way and try them before you register (although in several cases fewer utilities are included in the shareware versions than in the registered versions). Most or all can be downloaded by first time callers to several BBSs, including the DC Information Exchange, 703-920-2533 (log in under your own name) and the Arlington Software Exchange, 703-237-0022 (log in as NEW USER). The files are also usually available on Compuserve (WPUSERS). They can also be found through the Software by Seidman World Wide Web site: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/seidman If you prefer, you can obtain the programs directly from us by sending the license fee plus $2.00 for shipping and handling ($3 outside North America). D.C. residents please add appropriate sales tax. The programs are described below, and an order form appears after the descriptions. Special rates are available for large quantities or site licenses. Please write and ask. Or you can reach us through CompuServe [70441, 2414] or the Internet (70441.2414@compuserve.com and david.seidman@ase.com). * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 6TOOLS * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 6TOOLS is a collection of 15 utilities for use with WordPerfect 6.0 (both DOS and Windows versions). BOOKS Writes a list of the bookmarks in a WP6 document, including each bookmark's type and the number of the page on which it appears. COMMENTS Reads WP6 and WP5 document files, extracts the comments, and writes them to standard output, indicating the pages on which they appear. DOCINFO Extracts and lists useful information about WP6 document files. FONTLIST Writes a lists of the fonts used in a WP6 or WP5 document and shows the PRS file the document calls for. MERGESUM Makes a WP6 secondary merge file (data text file) from document summaries and DOS directory information, creating a simple document management system. SIXPRE Removes deleted (and optionally other) data packets from the prefix of WP6 document files and removes deleted data packets from WP6 .SET files. SIXPRE will often significantly reduce the size of files. It optionally deletes styles, document summaries, and printer-related information. SIXTXT Removes unnecessary bytes from the body of a WP6 document, making the document file smaller. STYLIST Lists names and descriptions of styles, optionally sorted. SWAPREF Changes automatic cross references from one type to another (such as footnote to endnote). TARGETS Lists the automatic reference targets and references (and their page numbers) in a WP6 document file, indicating unreferenced targets and references to nonexistent targets. TEXTSIZE Shows the size, in bytes, of the prefix and the body of WP6 and WP5 document files. WP6LOOK Displays one or more WP6 (or WP5) document files specified on the command line, piped to the program, or entered in response to prompts. WP6LOOK may be more convenient than WP6 itself for browsing through documents. Also displays other kinds of files. WPMCRUSH Reduces the size of macros by deleting unneeded prefix data and optionally eliminating the macro source code. WPMSUM Writes document summaries to standard output for reading, printing, or processing in useful ways. Can read document summaries in protected macros, which WP6 and other programs cannot. 5or6 Allows batch files to identify WP6, WP5.1, and WP5.0 files. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * WPTOOLS * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * WPTOOLS is a collection of 20 utilities for use with WordPerfect 5.x. Several of the programs are earlier versions of programs found in 6TOOLS, but many are not. COMMENTS Reads one or more WP5 document files, extracts the comments, and writes them to a WPerf file or to standard output. DISKFONT Searches a directory for specified soft font files and, optionally, lists descriptive information about the fonts it finds. ENDFOOT Converts all WP5 footnotes (endnotes) to endnotes (footnotes), changing automatic references appropriately. FIXPRE Removes deleted (and optionally other) data packets from the prefix of WP5 document files and removes deleted data packets from WP5 (and some other WPCorp) setup files (e.g., WP{WP}.SET). For document files, this will often facilitate changing the printer driver used with the file and shrink the file. Setup files grow as you modify your setup; FIXPRE shrinks them again. And FIXPRE sometimes helps when WP5 just seems to be acting strangely. Optionally deletes styles, initial codes, document summaries, and graphics. FONTFILE Lists the file names of the soft font files specified in a WP5 PRS file. FONTLIST Lists the names of the fonts used in a WP5 document and the PRS file the document calls for. IS5XDOC Identifies WP5 document files. Useful in batch files. LISTMACS Lists the names and descriptions of macros in WP5/DOS WPM and WPK files (and the keys for WPK macros), optionally sorted. Also works with PP5 and DR macro and keyboard files. MAKETABS Converts an ASCII text file to a WP50 document, replacing spaces by tabs. Used with columnar material. MASTER Reads a WP5 master document and lists the unexpanded subdocuments it calls for. MERGESUM Creates (or adds to) a WP50 secondary merge file, each record containing the information from a WP5 document summary (or, optionally, the first 400 or so characters of a document if no summary was created), along with information from the DOS file directory. In effect, creates a database of document summaries that can be processed using the WP5 Merge and Sort functions, or WordPerfect's Notebook program. PRINTIT Paginates and formats an ASCII text file for printing. PRSFONTS Lists and optionally numbers the names of the fonts available in a WP5 PRS file. STYLIST Lists names and descriptions of WP5 styles, optionally sorted. STYLEUSE Lists the styles used in the text of a WP5 document. Lists the styles found in the prefix but not used in the document. Optionally deletes unused (or all) styles from the prefix. Optionally deletes style on and off codes from the text of a document, leaving the codes added by the style. TARGETS Lists the automatic reference targets and references in a WP5 document file, indicating unreferenced targets and references to nonexistent targets. WHATPTRS Lists the printers described in WP5 ALL files, optionally sorted by printer name. WP5LOOK Displays one or more WP5 document files specified on the command line, piped to the program, or entered in response to prompts. Particularly because files can be specified with wildcards, WP5LOOK may be more convenient than WP5 itself for browsing through WP5 documents. Also displays non-WP5 files. WPGSIZE Extracts and lists the dimensions of the image coordinate space for WPG files. Useful in getting the aspect ratio right. WPSNOOP Determines, in greater or lesser detail, the file type of many, but not all, files associated with recent WordPerfect Corporation products. For WP5 document files, lists the document summary and the PRS file. For macro files, lists the description. Optionally reveals the structure of WP5 document file prefixes and of set file prefixes. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * WPMD -- The File Doctor for WordPerfect 5.x * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * WPMD fixes sick or broken WordPerfect Version 5.x files. There are many different symptoms of a sick or broken file. Sometimes some or all of the text disappears, although the file size indicates that the text should still be there. Sometimes WPerf5 fails to recognize the file as a WPerf5 document file. And sometimes other things go wrong. WPMD can usually cure the file, creating a WPerf5 file requiring only minor cleanup. In effect, Doctor 6 is an expanded version of WPMD, rewritten for WordPerfect 6.0. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * MORE TOOLS -- More Utilities for WordPerfect 5.x Users * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * MORE TOOLS is a collection of 10 shareware utility programs (plus two additional utilities on registration) for use with WPerf5 DOS and Windows. (A few are not useful with WPerf5.x/Win or WPerf50.) Here are brief descriptions of the MORE TOOLS programs: ADDPRS Allows selective updating of printer definitions in personal setup files from the definitions in the master setup file. More flexible than NWPSETUP. AUTHOR Generates a secondary merge file listing a document's full table of authorities citations with their associated short forms. BOXFILE Lists the graphics files a WordPerfect document uses. CONCATWP Combines a group of WP5 files into a single file, with or without separators between files. Useful for combining text and saving disk space. FREEZE Converts styles, cross-references, and paragraph numbers to ordinary text so that they will not change without explicit editing. LFSD Replaces WP51/DOS List Files, but sorts files in reverse date order (most recent first), date order, or by extension. MPSET Sets environmental variables in the DOS master environment. Aids communication between WP5 and other programs through environmental variables. PRIMO Converts merge codes to bolded text, for convenient printing and debugging of merge files. Faster than the CODES macro. SHOWCODE Converts a document to Reveal Codes-like text much more completely and much faster than the CODES macro does. SHOWSET Extracts and lists most of the information in SET files, so you don't have to search through nenus to find it. STYLIB Creates a new style library with styles selected from any or all of your existing style libraries and documents. WFWP Computes and lists the frequencies of words in WP5 files. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * MACROAID * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * MacroAid includes seven utility programs for use with WordPerfect Corporation program macros. They work with macros for WordPerfect 5.0 and 5.1(DOS), PlanPerfect 5.0 and 5.1, DrawPerfect 1.0 and 1.1, ED 3.0, LetterPerfect 1.0, and Shell 3.0 (but not with the Windows version of WordPerfect.) These programs are primarily intended for the serious macro writer. MacroAid also includes a shell program to facilitate using the utility programs. Here are brief descriptions of the seven application programs: MacArgs: Changes assignments to macro variables with DOS commands. The DOS command MacArgs MyMacro.wpm -0Newstring -1AnotherString changes {ASSIGN}0~OldString~{ASSIGN}1~stuff~ to {ASSIGN}0~NewString~{ASSIGN}1~AnotherString~ in MyMacro. Example uses: (1) write self-modifying macros that store new information for later use, as for macros to number invoices consecutively; (2) customize complex macros for different users. MacAscii: Converts macros to ASCII text files or WordPerfect documents so that they can be edited in WordPerfect or an ASCII text editor. MacAscii also converts the ASCII text file or WordPerfect document back to a macro. Allows editing of macros too big for the built-in macro editor; editing of SH macros without WPCorp's ED editor; easy printing of macros; use of powerful text processing and editing tools readily available for ASCII text files. MacCalls: Lists the files required by {CHAIN}, {NEST}, and {SHELL MACRO} commands in a macro and the files required by these files. MacCrush: Compresses macros by eliminating comments and the tabs and spaces used only for formatting; replaces variable names and labels with two-character names and labels. Makes your macros load and execute faster. MacChang: Changes the product type and version numbers stored within macros. Changing your carefully developed WordPerfect macros to PlanPerfect macros, for example, sometimes results in a working PlanPerfect macro and should always at least make the conversion process easier. MacFind: Searches for text strings, macro commands, and key commands in macros specified with wildcard file specifications. MacRef: Provides a cross-reference listing of a macro -- a file with a line-numbered version of the text of the macro and a listing of each macro command, key command, variable name, shell variable name, label, and called file, with the line numbers on which each appears. An essential tool for the development and debugging of complex macros. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * GV2WP * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * GV2WP converts GrandView Version 1 files to WordPerfect files in a single step (GV2WP calls GV2TXT, a program by the author of GrandView, included with GV2WP). GV heading labels are converted to WordPerfect automatic paragraph number. Underlining, bolding, and other font attributes, and font size changes are preserved. Category information is optionally converted. Special codes allow drafting of footnotes in GrandView for conversion to WordPerfect. Numerous formatting options. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PCOWP * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PCOWP converts structured files produced by PC-Outline and other outlining programs to WordPerfect files. Heading labels are converted to WordPerfect automatic paragraph numbers. With minor preprocessing by one PCOWP option, PC-Outline underlining is converted. Special codes can be used in your outlining program to allow conversion of other attributes, footnotes, and other features. Numerous formatting options. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Software by Seidman also publishes several non-shareware programs for use with WordPerfect 5.x. If you have any interest in these programs, please let us know. These programs include the following two: REMAP REMAP translates any of the characters in the WordPerfect character sets to any other character in the WordPerfect character sets. The user supplies an ascii text file, each line of which specifies, by character set and character position, a character to be translated and the character to which it is to be translated. Thus a single pass through the document can handle as many replacements (translations) as desired. COUNTEM COUNTEM counts the words in a WordPerfect file. Why use it instead of the word counting function built into WordPerfect? First, COUNTEM is faster on a file by file basis, and, if you have multiple files to process, is still faster overall, because it can handle wildcard input file specifications. Second, COUNTEM and WordPerfect have somewhat different ideas of what constitutes a word. The most important difference is that COUNTEM will treat as a word a string of WordPerfect characters that all display on screen as little boxes instead of proper characters. Thus even if you are using WordPerfect's English language module, you can count words written entirely in alphabets that do not display on screen. There are other differences in the way the two programs define words, but COUNTEM's definitions can easily be modified to meet your needs. In other words, we are prepared to customize the definition of a word in COUNTEM. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ORDER FORM David Seidman Software by Seidman 2737 Devonshire Pl.
