WPTOOLS -- Utilities for WordPerfect 5.0 and 5.1
-------------------------------------------------

WPTOOLS is a collection of 20 utility programs for use with WordPerfect 
5.0 and 5.1.  At this writing, the latest version is 5.1a.  The 
shareware distribution available for downloading contains only 14 of 
these programs; the rest are provided on registration.  Note that one 
of the programs, LISTMACS, is of particular interest to MACROAID users. 

Here are brief descriptions of all the programs:

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 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 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 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 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 styles, optionally sorted.

STYLEUSE Lists the styles used in the text of a 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 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 Wperf5 File Doctor
--------------------------------

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.  Sometimes WPerf5 says there is not 
enough room on the WP disk to retrieve the file, even though there is 
lots of room on the disk.  And sometimes other things go wrong.  WPMD 
can usually cure the file, creating a WPerf5 file requiring only minor 
cleanup.  


     ------------------------------------------------------------


GV2WP
-----

GV2WP converts GrandView files to WordPerfect 4.2 or 5.0 files.  (GV2WP 
is designed to work with GrandView Version 1.x, and users of Version 2 
probably have no need for GV2WP.)  The  conversion is accomplished in a 
single step (in which 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 if you are 
converting to WordPerfect 5.0.  Category information is optionally 
converted.  Special codes allow drafting of footnotes in GrandView for 
conversion to WordPerfect.  Numerous formatting options are available.  

     ------------------------------------------------------------

PCOWP
-----

PCOWP converts structured files produced by PC-Outline and other 
outlining programs to WordPerfect 4.2 or 5.0 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 are available.  

     ------------------------------------------------------------


WPXREF
------

WPXREF provides for WPerf4.2 the kind of automatic reference 
capability that WordPerfect Corporation itself provided for WPerf5.0.  
You place some simple codes in your WPerf4.2 document indicating the 
cross-references you want.  Just before printing the file, you run 
WPXREF on the file, creating a new output file in which the codes have 
been replaced by correct and up to date cross references to footnote 
numbers, paragraph numbers, and page numbers.  You can then revise 
your original document, and run WPXREF on the revised original.  The 
new output file has updated the cross-references to correspond to the 
changes you made in editing.  

     ------------------------------------------------------------

Software by Seidman also publishes several WordPerfect-related programs 
that are not available as shareware.  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.
