NAME

6       nytidy - tool to clean up specialized-format patches
7

SYNOPSIS

9       nytidy old new options [ print ] [ .go ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       nytidy  is  a  tool  in the Nypatchy suite of programs for working with
13       Patchy Master Files (PAM files);  see  nypatchy(1).   Specifically,  it
14       will  make a cleaned-up copy of a PAM file.  Changes include removal of
15       trailing whitespace on each line, removal of trailing and leading  com‐
16       ment  lines  (only  in  FORTRAN  decks),  and  update  of some built-in
17       sequences.
18

USAGE

20       The parameter old is the name of  the  original  PAM  file  (a  default
21       extension  of  ".car"  is  assumed),  while  new is the name of the new
22       cleaned PAM file to create.  (If new is not given or is  given  as  "-"
23       then  the  original  file  will be overwritten; this may be dangerous.)
24       print is the file to which informational  messages  should  be  written
25       (the  default is standard output if omitted), and options is a sequence
26       of single-character flags.
27
28       The command should be ended with ".go" unless one wants  to  enter  the
29       Nypatchy interactive shell.
30

OPTIONS

32       Note that options should be given as a single string of characters with
33       no space separation and no use of the - character (except that  it  can
34       be  used  in  place  of  the  options field if no options are desired).
35       Alphabetic options are not case-sensitive.
36
37       C      Assume the original file is a CMZ output file.
38
39       H      Print help information only.
40
41       V      "verbose" - Print each change.
42
43       +      Inhibit the initial page-eject.
