In an effort to distract myself from this market, I've written a small (freebie) utility that removes "hard returns" from a
passage of text that make messages difficult to read, e.g.,

To attain the goal, the government plans
to soon
form a council made up of domestic and
foreign
telecom operators and equipment manufacturers
to take
charge of the project.



Another solution (in most cases) is simply to narrow the browser window from which you're copying so that it wraps the text at shorter line lengths.

(Of course, sites which incompetently or inconsiderately prevent text from wrapping cause problems.)

(And copying text from a browser window probably shouldn't copy line breaks in the first place.)

FixWrap bug...

The other day I posted a note about a utility I wrote to remove the "hard returns" from a passage of text. For anyone using the program, I've found a problem. When you run the program, it is not exiting and therefore stays in memory. Each time you run it, a separate copy resides in memory (about 6 kb). I've reposted a corrected version at the site below. When you run the new version, a small window now appears in the middle of your screen for one second, and disappears when the program ends.

Please accept my apologies for the error.
