initial import of openisis 0.9.0 vendor drop

1 the status quo:
2 ===============
3
4 notations:
5 UPPERCASE letters are verbatim
6 a,b,x string literals
7 c,d,e single characters
8 f,g,h formats producing a single string value
9 i,j,k,l,m,n,o numbers (formats processed in integer context)
10 ll list of numbers (pushed by an expression)
11
12
13 * mode
14 Mcd c = P, H or D, d = U or L
15 P proof mode: no changes applied
16 H heading mode:
17 ^x is replaced as ';' for x=a, ',' for x=b..i, '.' for others
18 angle brackets are removed (>< replaced by '; '):
19 <a=b> gives b in index, a else
20 <a> gives nothing in index, a else
21 D data mode: like heading mode plus '. ' after each field not followed
22 by a suffix. no '.', if field ends in "punctuation" character.
23 L lower case: no changes applied
24 U upper case: characters are converted to "uppercase" as listed
25 in the file ISISUC.TAB
26
27 * field selector s
28 Vn^c[i..j]
29 Vn[i..j]^c select field n (0 = all), optional subfield c (* = first),
30 optional range of occ i to j (j may be ommited or LAST),
31 Dn^c select presence (optionally of subfield c)
32 Nn^c select absence (optionally of subfield c)
33 NOCC(s) total number of occurences of field s (NUMERIC)
34 P(s) true, if s is present (BOOLEAN, see IF)
35 A(s) true, if s is absent (BOOLEAN, see IF)
36 ["x" a ["x" a ...]][|x|[+]]s[*o][.l][(k[,m])][[+]|x|]["x"]
37 here [] are not literal, but indicate optional parts.
38 x are strings not containing their respective delimiter
39 a arbitrary formatting or mode commands conditionally executed
40 repeated prefix or suffix in || output for any repetition,
41 with + first prefix / last suffix is ommited,
42 optional string offset o (0=start) and length l,
43 optional indentation k,m (see formatting)
44
45 * structural elements
46 they do not themselves generate output,
47 but rather control execution of formats u,v,w
48 , separator (end some construct)
49 /*...*/ comment
50 'a' unconditional literal
51 @a, include format file a
52 &a(f) call external function a
53 (u) repeat group (over IOCC, only in record or string mode)

63 IF t THEN u FI
64 IF t THEN u ELSE v FI
65 WHILE t (u)
66 t a boolean expression using:
67 fxg comparision, where x is one of = <> < <= > >=
68 AND NOT OR () logical combination
69 f:g true iff f contains g case insensitiv
70 P(s) A(s) (see field selector)
71 f format not empty
72
73 * calculation (NUMERIC)
74 calculation is performed on longs until a decimal point is seen
75 or RAVR is used.
76 statistical functions run over format giving a list of numbers,
77 separated by ; or blank or any other non-numerical characters
