info-mac@uw-beaver.UUCP (11/11/84)
From: ihnp4!umich!doug@uw-beaver.arpa (Doug Orr) In case I gave the wrong address when I sent out my macwrite -> dvi program, I am at ihnp4!uofm-cv!umich!doug I have one or two small clarifications to offer for the macwrite internal document. 1) "word" refers to a two byte integer 2) most dimensions are in pixels (80ths of an inch) 3) at one point, I believe that it says something to the effect that after a text run, an even word alignment is made. What is meant is that the text length is made even, not the text byte address in the file (if you have read an odd number of bytes, skip one). 4) ruler information is left margin int right margin int justify byte 0->left 1->both 2->right 3->center tab count byte unused (?) byte spacing byte 0->ss 1->1 1/2 sp 2->double sp paragraph indent int tabs 10 int (tab count are valid) unused(?) 4 bytes All of this applies to the old version of macwrite. I am not sure what changes have been made in the new version. -Doug
