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 sin-
       gle-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.

       Running the command "nytidy help .no" also gives some brief help on usage.
