*************************************************************** * WSAVE.DOC * *************************************************************** * FOR WORDSTAR VERSIONS 2.26, 3.0 and 3.3 * * by Mark S. Stein 11/07/84 * *=============================================================* *FILES INCLUDED: WSAVE3/0.SUB (for Wordstar vers. 2.26/3.0) * * WSAVE3/3.SUB (for Wordstar vers. 3.3) * * AUTOST30.COM ( for Wordstar vers. 2.2/3.0 * * AUTOST33.COM (for Wordstar vers. 3.3) * * EX14.COM * * WSAVE.DOC * *FILES NEEDED: DDT.COM * * * * NOTE: Rename either AUTOST30.COM or AUTOST33.COM to * * AUTOST.COM based on the specific version of Word- * * star that you're using. * * * * IMPLEMENTATION EXAMPLE - Wordstar 3.3 (WSAVE3/3.SUB) * * * * This sub file when placed on the "A" drive with EX14.COM, * * DDT.COM and AUTOST.COM will automatically create the file * * WSAVE3/3.DOC when SYSTEM RESET is initiated followed by a * * COLD BOOT. WSAVE3/3.DOC can provide up to 15K of prepared * * text which ordinarily would be lost when using WORDSTAR * * and incurring a DISK FULL condition while attempting to * * save a created file. * * * * Upon incurring a DISK FULL condition when using WORDSTAR, * * first go the the end of the text file using ^QC and then * * depress the SYSTEM RESET button. Next place a prepared * * diskette containing WSAVE3/3.SUB, DDT.COM, EX14.COM, and * * AUTOST.COM in drive "A". Then COLD BOOT the system, ie, * * enter a carriage return; WSAVE3/3.DOC will automatically * * be created. Then place your WORDSTAR and associated * * overlay files onto the "A" drive and move the diskette * * containing WSAVE3/3.DOC onto the "B" drive. Using WORDSTAR, * * RENAME WSAVE3/3.DOC to your desired FILENAME.TYP. Now using * * WORDSTAR's NON-DOCUMENT mode, enter FILENAME.TYP followed * * by a ^QC to place the cursor to the end of the file. Enter * * a ^KD to SAVE FILENAME.TYP and exit WORDSTAR using an "X". * * Note that the new FILENAME.TYP is of the appropriate file * * size which will be less than or equal to 15K. The backup * * file FILENAME.BAK created by WORDSTAR is a 15K file which * * is not needed and can be erased. * * * * Credit goes to Dave Lopez and Brad Baldwin referenced by * * their article "Saving your ASCII!" in April/May 1983 * * Portable Companion. WS-SAVE.SUB is an extension to their * * original work plus that issued in FOG. * * *
