Hello fellow MacUsers and sympathizers,
Does anyone know how (if possible) to set tab stops ala UNIX (say
every .6 inches) in MacWrite? I want to send indented text files
(C programs) using macput and print them out on the MAC. It is
a drag to have to edit each one to setup tabs on a ruler before
printing. Alternatively could I append the ruler info under UNIX
before macputting? Currently I use macput -u, but -d would be OK.
Secondly, is there any way to stop macput? When the MAC diskette
gets full and I try to send a too-large file, first I get an error
dialog, then am dumped back into tty emulation with garbage flowing
onto the screen. The only solution seems to be to hang up the phone.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
