1 EIGHTY

 Eighty is a program that reformats an input file (must be ASCII) with line
 lengths greater than 80 characters into a file with maximum line length of
 80 characters.  The length of the lines is maintained within the file so
 that the file can be reconstituted later.  This program is useful in trans-
 mitting listing files to St. Louis across HASP, since HASP will not accept
 files with record lengths greater than 80 columns.  The program UNEIGHTY
 must be used to restore the file to its original condition.

 Enter :

   @MERLIN:EIGHTY 'filespec'

 where filespec is the full file specification for the listing file.  If the
 file type is omitted, '.LIS' will be assumed.  You may not use a file type
 of '.80' as this is the type of the new file which the EIGHTY program 
 creates.
2 UNEIGHTY

 UnEighty is available on the MERLIN account, but its use is not very useful
 on MERLIN.  UnEighty also exists on the St. Louis S&E computer. To use
 UNEIGHTY on the S&E, follow these steps :

   LINK RTLSDZ5 191 222 RR
   ACCESS 222 Q/A
   UNEIGHTY filename filetype

 UNEIGHTY on the S&E assumes a filemode of 'A' and creates a file with the
 same filename as input and filetype 'LISTING'.  The FORTRAN source code
 of UNEIGHTY and EIGHTY are available for transportation to other systems
 of interest.
2 CONTROL_CHARACTERS
 Control characters and eight bit characters are converted to a print-
 able form for transmission to prevent conflicts with various trans-
 mission protocols.  UNEIGHTY returns them to their original state.
