This program is Shareware.
This means that you can copy this program to anyone you like, but if you
find the program useful, you should register, as explained below. This
entitles you to the latest version of this program, and of all my other
applications.
If you do copy the program it should be in its original format, with ALL of
the accompanying files. That is : !Boot
!Help
!Run
!RunImage
!Sprites

Purpose
-------
To remove any leading or trailing spaces from a text file.
To use
------
Double click on the icon in the filer window, to load the program. This
will install an icon on the icon bar. From here, dragging a file onto the
icon will open a save window. Enter a filename, or just press RETURN to
overwrite the original file, or drag the icon onto a filer window. If the
file dragged onto the icon is not a text file (type &FFF), then a window
will open, asking whether you are sure you wish to remove the trailing
spaces from that file. Selecting 'YES' will continue the process, and
selecting 'NO' will close the window with no further action being taken. The
program should work fine on any plain ASCII file, e.g. Obey, Command. If in
doubt abort the operation - you never know what might happen!!
Pressing the middle button on the icon on the icon bar will open a menu,
allowing you to get information about the program, to set options and to
quit the program.
The options which can be set determine whether the program is to remove
leading spaces, trailing spaces, or both, from the file. To set them, simply
move across to the window, from the menu, and click on which ones you wish
to be done. If the blue shape is there then the option is set. To update the
options, click on the OK icon.
N.B. If the same input and output name is given, the program will need to
have the system variable '<Wimp$ScrapDir>' set. This can be done by
double-clicking on a copy of !System or !Scrap, available from any Acorn
dealer, if you don't have a copy.
When the process is finished, a window will open showing you the size of
the file before and after the process.
This program also supports interactive help.

To register, send £5 to me, at the address shown below, stating what version
of which programs you have. You can enclose your own disk for the programs,
and if you do so you can deduct 50p from the price. Registering entitles you
to upgrade to later versions of the same programs and to get new programs
for the price of £1. Any additional contributions from overseas towards
postage would be greatly appreciated.
