Quick Start
                                   
     
     The  benefits  of  using  TextCon  may  not  be  immediately
     apparent from  reading the  documentation.    You  can  give
     yourself a  quick demonstration of its capabilities by using
     TEXTCON.DOC as a sample ASCII file.
     
     Start by  loading the  unmodified TEXTCON.DOC into your word
     processor using  the word  processor's ASCII import command.
     Browse through  the document  and you'll  notice that it may
     appear to  be formatted  correctly, but  the "formatting" is
     all created  by use  of hard  returns and  hard spaces.  Try
     editing parts  of it  and you'll  quickly see  the  problems
     caused by  unwanted hard  returns, extra  blank  spaces  and
     blank lines,  and even headers and footers interspersed with
     the text.
     
     Then use  TextCon to  clean up  TEXTCON.DOC.  Since the file
     has headers  in it,  you should  use the  /H  option.    For
     Microsoft Word,  Word  Perfect,  Displaywrite,  XyWrite  and
     others, the complete command would be:
     
     TEXTCON /H TEXTCON.DOC TEXTCON.TXT
     
     For word  processors such as MultiMate, Volkswriter, and PC-
     Write, which  cannot accept  each paragraph as one long line
     with no imbedded returns, use the command:
     
     TEXTCON /H /KR TEXTCON.DOC TEXTCON.TXT
     
     And for WordStar, use:
     
     TEXTCON /H /R TEXTCON.DOC TEXTCON.TXT
     
     Then import  TEXTCON.TXT to your word processor, again using
     its standard  ASCII import command, and examine the results.
     Notice how  much cleaner  the text is and how much less work
     you have  to do  to reformat  it or  edit it.   Much  of the
     formatting will  be gone,  but you'll  see  that  it's  much
     easier to  add your desired formatting to the converted file
     than it is to work with the unconverted one.
