Subject: Documentation Standards

It's easy to write an assembly language program that will filter
Wordstar format stuff to standard.  Test for 8th bit set; if so,
unset it, and add one space, ignoring everything that's a space
until you get to the next non-space; to be more sophisticated,
test to see if the word ended in a . or a ? and add two spaces
if so.
       It took me about an hour to write one of those.  Uset
the program in the MAC document as a model to show how to open
and close files.
