FANTOMAS SOFTWARE PACKAGE - INTRO
─────────────────────────────────
For more details read the User Guide, which can be generated by
the FANTODOC module, which is included in the FANTOMAS.EXE
(Function Key 5). So run FANTOMAS and produce the complete
Fantomas user guide!
The Fantomas Software Package is written in SNOBOL4 (SPITBOL).
The Fantomas Software Package can be used for file conversion and
file peeking at byte level. This means that special characters such
as line feeds and carriage returns can participate in the conversion
and peeking as well. Amongst others FANTOMAS can perform universal
changes in files in using user-defined FANTOMAS patterns.
The Fantomas Software Package is extremely useful when you want to
convert files from one type into another. Very often the Fantomas
Software Package is used to convert files from one text formatting
system (like Wordperfect, TEX, Waterloo Script etc.) into another.
The Fantomas Software Package consists of five different modules,
which can be used separately:
FANTOMAS A Universal File Converter at byte level
FANTOSEE A Universal File Peeker/Browser at byte level
FANTOMED An editor for generating Fantomas patterns
FANTOREP A replacer of string patterns in files
FANTODOC The program which generates a file with
comment on the Fantomas Software Package
