Edit Reason: clean up text.
)
Progress update
Thus far (working well):
1. Capture text in lumps - per major print subroutine (8 off them) - write to txt. Some display/print depending on menu choices in the design.
2. SHELL - rm old files. SHELL cat file1.txt file2.txt >> file_summary.txt etc
3. SHELL linux convert txt->ps
4. SHELL linux convert ps->pdf
5. Launch pdf readers
*************
Limit/memory bleed in excessive use of SHELL command - scrambles output.
Suspect SHELL buffer limit was exceeded.
Wrote external BASH routine and called that from SHELL instead.
