Release:  23 December 1997
Compatibility: PR 2
Location: pub/contrib/util and/or pub/contrib/develop
Description: Word wrap files with long lines.
	A GUI app with file requester.  Uses My font
	sensitivity routine
Notes: 
(0) Eventually, I hope to break this app into a number of
small pieces. I will try to make this a tutorial for beginner
BeOS programmers.

(1) There is a "load file..." gadget as well as menu item and 
a preferences panel withan "integer gadget" which accepts a 
value between 0 and UINT_MAX inclusive. When the file requester 
sends a "load file" message, the file is buffered, the lines are 
wordwrapped, and a save file panel opens to allow the file to be 
placed and named. There are two "font" buttons to enable play 
with font sensitive gui items. There is provision for some LibPref 
preferences (window placement and colors of all the gadgets
and window background.)

Source code is included.

This is a test implimentation of my own simple word
wrapping procedure. I am also employing the first
implimentation of my font sensitive GUI, along with
a trial run of an "integer gadget". I am really releasing this 
as a test of these concepts, not so much as a tool to
help tweak text files.

Examine the procedures for all three things (the word
wrap code, the font sensitive GUI, and the integer
restricted gadget) and let me know of errors or needed 
enhancements you notice. 

Known Bugs:
There is a race condition which causes the windows to
be too small horizontally, and hosed when you try to
scroll or resize. This can be prevented by running the
app from a terminal. See the printf() on line 56 of
windowGuts.cpp. This bug only shows up rarely on
my BeBox66. I am experimenting with semaphores
unsuccessfully.
Another problem is that to activate my windows, one
must select the title tab, window border, or menu
area. The custom scroll view must be gobbling up all 
the clicks and not properly passing them on--hmmmm.
