PPWizard: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:48, 15 January 2016

PPWizard is a text macro processor primarily intended to be used for generating HTML and IPF (inf) files, but it can be used as a generic pre-processor. Written in REXX.

Note that if you are using PPWizard on a modern version of Microsoft Windows, that the Windows installer of the package installs the whole shebang into the Drive:/Program Files/PPWIZARD folder and installs an outdated version of Regina REXX interpreter in the same folder. You are better off by downloading the OS/2 or generic version of the package and installing that somewhere in your userland where you have full read/write access (e.g. drive:/Users/.../Documents/PPwiz for instance) rather than under "Program files", and you should download a recent version of Regina REXX rather than use the bundled one, they have fewer bugs and the 64bit version is much faster under a 64bit system than the bundled 32 bit one.

Charset support

8 Bit ASCII (256 Characters according to current codepage). No support for Unicode or DBCS.
