   Many times have I written text for programs or script files, and then

   had to add the printf, writeln or echo commands by hand.  I decided to

   automate the process and AddText was born!



   Example

   -------



   Let's say we have a text file called "Sheep.pme" which contains the

   following tortured prose...



        Little Bo Peep was a weird little girl



             Who's main love interest was ewe



        How extraordinary this small canary



        Which it's bound tutu

                           

   ...which we would like to have in a program or script file.  Selecting

   the Script option would produce a file which looks like...



        ; Courtesy of ADDTEXT - A N Peck (1995)

        

        echo ""

        echo "        Little Bo Peep was a weird little girl"

        echo ""

        echo "             Who's main love interest was ewe"

        echo ""

        echo "        How extraordinary this small canary"

        echo ""

        echo "        Which it's bound tutu"

        echo ""



   You could now execute this script file to produce the original text.



   The Pascal version would read...



        { Courtesy of ADDTEXT - A N Peck (1995) }

        

        Writeln ('');

        Writeln ('        Little Bo Peep was a weird little girl');

        Writeln ('');

        Writeln ('             Who''s main love interest was ewe');

        Writeln ('');

        Writeln ('        How extraordinary this small canary');

        Writeln ('');

        Writeln ('        Which it''s bound tutu');

        Writeln ('');



   Note that the extra apostrophes have been added.



   Finally the C option produces...



        /* Courtesy of ADDTEXT - A N Peck (1995) */

        

        Printf ("\n");

        Printf ("        Little Bo Peep was a weird little girl\n");

        Printf ("\n");

        Printf ("             Who's main love interest was ewe\n");

        Printf ("\n");

        Printf ("        How extraordinary this small canary\n");

        Printf ("\n");

        Printf ("        Which it's bound tutu\n");

        Printf ("\n");

        

   And that's all it does!  No washing of dishes or carrying out of dirty

   linen, but perhaps a bit easier to insert text into your next program or

   script file.



   The program was written in Assembly with help from Hextract (Chas A

   Wyndham), EdwordPro (Martin Reddy), PhxAss/PhxLnk (Frank Wille),

   Convbrush (David Kinder), Iconian (Chad Randall), DPaint (Electronic

   Arts), and some others I've forgotten.  The source is provided for your

   amusement.



   I hope you find this program useful.  I take no responsibility for it's

   actions but it is freeware!  Enjoy...
