Manual editing of sequences
Suntan Special sequences are plain text files. It is possible to edit them with any text editor.
The order of keywords in the sequences provided with Suntan Special is important. These sequences have been assembled and tested, and work well in the order as supplied. Reordering the keywords can result in a sequence that doesn't work or produces a computer that doesn't work as intended.
The semicolon (;) is a comment character for sequence files. The exclamation point (!) is used to disable keywords. Add an exclamation point to the beginning of a line containing a keyword to disable the processing of that keyword. You may also add your own notes as comments in a sequence by beginning a line with a semicolon.
The first line of each sequence is a comment with the title of the sequence. While this is not required, Suntan Special sequences use this title to identify the sequence and its purpose.
