If its older tron/troff (or whatever OS called it) that is page length left margin Line length no fill Maybe groff was used? Or just did it by hand? to updated it to 80 columns, I would try copilot first. This seems like it may be a solved problem that Copilot can patch up well enough. In any case, happy April 1! https://subethasoftware.com/2026/04/01/klystronics/ From: Coco <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Allen Huffman via Coco Sent: Wednesday, April 1, 2026 10:54 AM To: CoCoList for Color Computer Enthusiasts (new) <[email protected]> Cc: Allen Huffman <[email protected]> Subject: [Coco] OS-9 text formatting - what made this? I have an old text document with embedded dot formatting commands. I do not remember which tool I used to make it. I think this was under OS-9 at the time. I used the VED editor, and had VPT for it, but that VPT does not recognize the first code, so likely wasn’t used. Anyone recognize these escapes? .pl1 .lm0 .ll137 .nf // // // // // ////// /////// ////// ///// // // // ////// ////// // // // // // // // // // // // /// // // // // /// // /// ///// // ////// // // //// // // // ///// Incorporated. // // // // // // // // // // // //// // // // // // ////// // ////// // // // ///// // // // ////// ////// .fi .nj .sp .ce1 ''Fine Klystrones Since 1989'' ======================================================================================================================================== .sp .lm20 .ll97 HELLO! We are[14] sorry that we were unable to personally attend this[1] year's CocoFest. We had some commercial accounts we needed to attend to and thus were unavailable. We hope to see you[9] next year at the 1995 Chicago CocoFest or at the upcoming Klystrone Con[4] '95 in Aneheim. .sp Copilot AI was able to convert it for me and seems to have guessed properly, but I have a bunch of Sub-Etha Software manuals and such with these embedded codes and want to export them to formatted 80 column text documents so I can get them to the archive in a better readable version than with all he dot codes.
