HI Paul,
following up a message from Richard Webb to Paul Quinn:
Hi Paul,
THought you'd like to hear about my latest bit of batch fun
which is highly dependent on HOrst's third party add-ons.
I get offshore waters forecast data from my primary fidonet
link, and occasionally to fill in a gap requested via
ftpmail via another email source.
I get to process these, either for brailling, or to stuff
into a master file for my lady to view on the monitor. FOr
the braille though we're talking a dozen pages or more if I
print out everything I might usually want while working the
hf radio with the mariners.
SO, I want a table of contents so I can switch to the right
page and get a skipper the weather he needs.
Along with this, I want to have, placed in the table of
contents the beam heading for different forecast areas so
that when I read them on air I'm pointed in the proper
direction with my rotatable antenna .
OTher than another search replace utility and basic commands built into dos
6.22 the whole thing couldn't be done without HOrst .
Well, some judicious use of sed as well.
Just wanted to say thanks for all the hints and kinks over
the last couple of years. Have really appreciated your
help.
Regards,
Richard
