PS TEXT FORMAT Reference Manual

TFORMCVT: Converting From TGAL to TFORM
11387 Tandem Computers Incorporated E-5
TFORMCVT assumes that input paragraphs are homogeneous. If a
paragraph has a ragged left margin beyond the second line, the indentation
remains that of the second line. It’s your responsibility to add the
appropriate INDENT commands to maintain the ragged edge.
TFORMCVT interprets text in the scope of an OV command as being a
command line. The result is that a paragraph starting with overstruck text
doesn’t have an INDENT command until the second line. The OV
command turns off a paragraph in progress (INDENT OFF).
Unrecognized Errors TFORMCVT assumes that TGAL commands in the input file are valid and
doesn’t issue warnings for TGAL syntax errors. TFORMCVT may simply
ignore an invalid command in the input file, or the translation process may
terminate unsuccessfully (TFORMCVT may go into DEBUG). Valid TGAL
syntax is that described in the TGAL Reference Manual. If you take
advantage of undocumented features in TGAL, you use TFORMCVT at
your own risk. It’s a good idea to run TGAL on your file before using
TFORMCVT to make sure there are no syntax problems.
