The Document Editor
The document editor is a simple, but general, word processor. The 1616/OS full screen document editor is designed for editing
disk-based text files. Its commands and actions are similar to those of MicroPro’s WordStar word processing program in both
‘document’ and ‘non-document’ mode. The commands are a superset of those in the 1616/OS inbuilt edit command, thus
easing the task of learning to use it. It includes a number of ‘help’ screens, which can be viewed at any time, for those who
don’t want to read the manual.
Although some WordStar word processing facilities are not included, many DrDoc commands are more powerful than their
equivalent WordStar feature; this applies particularly to search and replace commands, which include many grep style regular
expression facilities, and the tag features, for C programming. Even experienced WordStar users should read the manual to
check these extra features.
Introduction
The document editor DrDoc is a more advanced, disk based, version of the familiar built-in Applix edit command. While
its commands are identical to those in edit, it adds many additional facilities. It includes control of formatting, page lengths,
margin settings, justification, headers, footers, page numbers, and page sizes. Text can be in bold, underline, italics, subscript
and superscript, and up to three user defined styles limited only by the printer you are using.
A considerable amount of thought has gone into many of the features, particularly with program editing in mind. A number
of DrDoc’s editing features are quite subtle and require careful reading of this documentation, as well as some experimentation.
However the time taken for this will be well rewarded!
An associated program wprint, is used to actually print the file to either the display, or to any style of printer. Additional files
with the extension .codes are used to configure the wprint program to the printer (or display and terminals) you are currently
