MyFileCopier

Current versions: 001, 002, 002b, 003, 004


MyFileCopier makes an ascii copy of a file to a .out file

Two problems:  If the file contains BINARY info
               (eg, .JPG or .DOC files, etc) 
               then it corrupts the file (and
               will be shorter!)

               If the file is created without
               a terminating <cr> <lf>
               ( 0x0A, 0x0D ) then the new file
               will be longer by TWO bytes -- ie,
               since it does a ReadLine/WriteLine
               it always writes DOS format. 

Have to try re-compiling under unix... hmmmmm :?



MyFileCopier002
Next the idea is to NUMBER the lines in a file
(ie, so that they can be referenced in class
discussions, foot-notes, etc).

Also, see:   -[MyFilecopier002(b)]-
  (i was having probs with
   string compare, toUpperCase(), etc)



MyFileCopier003
Next the idea is to Dek-foliate a file.

Each line is indented 5 spaces, and
the text is limited to about 40 chars.
(Refered to as Duchamp-Esrey-Clark form,
or "Dek-foliation"; as in Deklein Hawks)

A "folio edition" is one that is folded
in half (usually side to side, but often
top down); refer to "Shakespear folio editions".

This version does NOT generate extra NEW LINES
when they are encountered. A bit aesthetically
limited, me thinks... (see version 004)

NOTE: Dek-Foliation is DESTRUCTIVE to structured
      files like HTML or SOURCE CODE files!!!

MyFileCopier004
Like 003, above this creates a Dek-foliated file.

This version DOES generate extra 
NEW LINES when they are encountered. Seems to be
"the one" to use!!!

NOTE: Dek-Foliation is DESTRUCTIVE to structured
      files like HTML or SOURCE CODE files!!!
