BDESCRIPTIONb
  EDtoVIEW allows you to convert BEDWORDb files into BVIEWb or plain Ascii
  text files.  If you examine the structure of an BEDWORDb file you will see
  that everything is stored backwards.  This program moves backwards
  through the file and writes it forwards so that it can be loaded into an
  ordinary word processor.

BINVOCATIONb
   When you run the program you are given a catalogue of the current
   directory.  Where you are asked for the filename, you can also do
   *-commands by making the first character a 'B*b'. After giving the
   filename you are told what type of BEDWORDb file it is, and whether the
   converted file will fit into memory, or whether the program needs to
   spool to the output file, whereupon the conversion will be slower.  You
   are then asked if you want to output to a file, and the filename.  If
   you answer 'BNb', then the BEDWORDb file will just be displayed on the
   screen.

   You are then asked if you want to convert the wide and bold markers in
   the BEDWORDb text.  If you answer 'BYb' to these, then they will be
   converted to the extended highlights used by the Printer and MakeLP
   programs and the lp and lpS commands; *W *w for wide and *B *b for
   bold.  If you answer 'BNb', then all bold and wide markers are ignored. 
   You are then asked if you want to convert underlined text.  This is
   converted to highlight 0 before and after the text. 

   As the conversion progresses, the file is displayed on the screen.  The
   following characters are displayed as well as the text:
	left and right wide arrows around the wide text in BEDWORDb
	left and right bold markers around the bold text in BEDWORDb
	bent arrow for carriage returns at the end of paragraphs
	single down arrow marks carriage returns added to end of lines
	double down arrows mark where text has overflowed over the line

Unrecognised items from the BEDWORDb file are converted to [xxx] where xxx
is the the byte in decimal.

When converting into memory, the completed file is saved at the end. When
spooling, the file is output as it goes along.  The resultant file can be
loaded into BVIEWb or, if 'BNb' is given for the markers and a pure text file
is created, it can be loaded into any ordinary word processor as Ascii
text.
