"Down Pillow" Control Code Creation: Step 5 of 88

Creation of the "Down Pillow"
Compression Algorithm Control
Codes:  Step 5 of 88

I am posting a series of steps
to comp.compression so that
there can be an external record
of my efforts to create a
sucessful copy of control codes
to use in the "Down Pillow"
compression algorithm as
discussed earlier this year.

Please disregard these posts
if you value your time; time
is money of course.  You are
warned up front, so don't
accuse me of wasting your time.
Concern yourself only if I am
sucessful.  If that time comes
you will have access to everything
you need to know in the archive.
But, if you are like me and love
wasting your time on frivolous
pursuits play along with me if
you dare.

Step 5 of 88

Create a file where the labels
1 through 1048576 are listed
in a single column using ascii
with right margin alignment
within eight character spaces.

Give the file the name: "DPC05_01.DAT"


The following is the Qbasic program
that I use:
-----------------------
REM PROGRAM: labelmap.bas
REM This program creates an ascii file
'   containing the numbers 1 to 1048576
'   and prints them to a formated
'   column ascii file.

OPEN "O", #1, "DPC05_01.DAT"
FOR a = 1 TO 1048576
LET a2$ = SPACE$(8)
LET a$ = STR$(a)
RSET a2$ = a$
PRINT #1, a2$
NEXT a
END

-------------------------
