NAME

       nytidy - tool to clean up specialized-format patches

SYNOPSIS

       nytidy old new options [ print ] [ .go ]

DESCRIPTION

       nytidy  is a tool in the Nypatchy suite of programs for working with Patchy Master Files (PAM files); see
       nypatchy(1).  Specifically, it will make a cleaned-up copy of a PAM file.   Changes  include  removal  of
       trailing  whitespace on each line, removal of trailing and leading comment lines (only in FORTRAN decks),
       and update of some built-in sequences.

USAGE

       The parameter old is the name of the original PAM file (a default extension of ".car" is assumed),  while
       new  is the name of the new cleaned PAM file to create.  (If new is not given or is given as "-" then the
       original file will be overwritten; this may be dangerous.)  print is  the  file  to  which  informational
       messages  should  be  written  (the  default is standard output if omitted), and options is a sequence of
       single-character flags.

       The command should be ended with ".go" unless one wants to enter the Nypatchy interactive shell.

OPTIONS

       Note that options should be given as a single string of characters with no space separation and no use of
       the  -  character  (except  that it can be used in place of the options field if no options are desired).
       Alphabetic options are not case-sensitive.

       C      Assume the original file is a CMZ output file.

       H      Print help information only.

       V      "verbose" - Print each change.

       +      Inhibit the initial page-eject.
