ABSTRACT:
A method for operating a computer converts a word processing file to a computer program source file, which generates an output stream when run. The word processing file includes a linear sequence of characters having segments marked by beginning and ending tags. The method of the present invention translates the linear sequences of characters in the word processor file that are not surrounded by the tags to output statements in the computer program source file. The output statements cause the computer program generated from the source file, when executed, to reproduce the linear sequences of characters from the word processor file not surrounded by the tags in an output stream generated by the computer program. The method translates the linear sequences of characters in the word processing file that are surrounded by predetermined tags into computer source code statements. In so doing, the translation takes the form of merely copying the linear sequences of characters of the word processing file to the computer program source file or of translating the linear sequences of characters of the word processing file into statements recognized in the computer language.
