Edit-insertion Programs for Automatic Typesetting of Computer Printout

Book excerpt: SETLST and KWIND are FORTRAN programs which accept a card deck or Fortran records on magnetic tape and insert the appropriate flags and shift symbols required by many of the standard typesetting programs associated with phototypesetting devices.The programs are specialized to the particular application; the typesetting device and associated programs; and to the desired typeface, by means of control cards and substitution tables supplied at run time.Examples are shown of applications to program listings, KWIC indexes, and normal computer output.When the input is in tabular form, the program permits more sophisticated operations including rearrangement, removal of trailing blanks, typeface changes between columns, etc.These programs can handle any records which can be read by a FORTRAN READ statement under an A format control.(Author).
