Turbo Pascal 3.0 projects



LocoScript conversion using TURBO Pascal

The Joyce was designed as a complete system for word processing, employing the program LocoScript. Usually those word processors contain text characters as well as control codes, e.g. controling the format of a documenmt. (John Elliott's web page contains a description of the control codes within a LocoScript document).

The magazine „PC AMSTRAD INTERNATIONAL" introduced in issue 6/89 an article, introducing a program for converting LocoScript documents into normal text files. Unfortunately I do not own the article anymore, but the sources:

A long time ago I transferred most of my LocoScript files to a PC, converting the files to ASCII before. Later I transferred the remaining files without converting them to ASCII. Much later I needed some of these documents. For converting these files, I shortened the large package written by W.Otternberg. Now - without the menu selection - documents may be converted either to ASCII or HTML.
