Eric Gans French Department, UCLA Los Angeles, CA 90024 FNCVT.DOC v.2 03/21/87 FNCVT.BAS is a little conversion program that converts files written using WS and FootNote into the format required by the Magic Print formatting utility. The program can be run as is using MBasic. For those who wish to compile it with BASCOM, I have included a routine to read the file names from the command line (instead of entering them in the file, which precludes the use of FNCVT in SUB files). If you wish to do this, just delete the 'REM' in line 60. The included file CTAIL.MAC must be assembled with M80 and linked with the compiled BAS file. Appropriate command lines are: BASCOM fncvt2=fncvt2 [/z/o/n]/e L80 fncvt2/e,ctail,fncvt2/n The command line requires three file names: the text file, the note file constructed by FootNote, and the output file. If you don't enter a command line with the compiled version, it will prompt you just like the MBasic version. The same procedure could be accomplished in DOS using QuickBasic; just change CMD$ to COMMAND$ and kill the 'call ctail', since QB nicely puts the command tail in COMMAND$ for you. But I'm not sure that FootNote exists for DOS.
