[comp.lang.pascal] Pascal source to read Appleworks text files

BHUBER@ECLA.USC.EDU (09/15/87)

In a typesetting application I run, I have written a Pascal program to read
AWP files.  The Pascal is Orca Pascal (from Byte Works) which I prefer to
TML (either version) since Orca Pascal is tighter and faster.

If anyone is interested, I could be pursuaded to post the portions of the
Pascal source that reads AWP files.  It handles all of the embedded control
codes, mail-merge functions, and null lines properly.

Please advise of interest,
Bud

P.S., this is written for the GS machine, but I am sure that it would be
easy to port to other versions.  Orca Pascal is ISO conformant with the
only major extension used in this application being "FILE of BYTE" and
"otherwise" in CASE statements.
