We would like to use Waterloo SCRIPT to format documents for
on-line viewing using Gopher or some other campus-wide information
system. We have the following problems:
1. Underscored/overstruck text is displayed using several output
lines per line of text. This is fine for printer output, but
terribly confusing to on-line viewing. We _could_ write dummy
tag code for every tag that produces emphasized text, but we
would still miss, e.g., places where a function was used to
select boldface text.
2. SCRIPT seems to append quite a number of blanks lines at the
end of each document.
We are running Waterloo SCRIPT 90.1. Ideally, we would like MEMO
output to look like a flat text file for viewing, NOT a printer
file from which the carriage control has been removed and no
further changes have been made. Any suggestions?
