Description:SPRD and SQEZ are two programs that enhance AFOS message composition. SPRD provides a pseudo-scrol1ino function for AF0S--text can be scrolled down in a product by inserting any number of blank lines, allowing new text to be inserted later. SPRD will also move whole paragraphs so that they lie entirely on one page. This eliminates the problems encountered when trying to edit text that crosses a page boundary. SPRD is especially useful in splitting apart zones that were combined in a previous forecast. SQEZ takes a product with lines longer that 72 characters and "squeezes" them to the 72 character limit for AFOS asynchronous transmission and teletypes. With AFOS, the operator must watch the line length carefully while typing in order not to exceed 72 characters, and adding or deleting text using "PAGE EDIT" can be a real nightmare. Like SPRD, SQEZ also allows you to add extra blank lines in order to insert new material. SQEZ can also be used as a substitute for XMIT to transmit products on the synchronous lines.
