STL

(File types: .TXT .txt). Mixed capitalisations, such as .Txt, are also supported. To access an STL (Small Text List) format catalogue in the current directory you need only supply the file name. To access an STL catalogue in another directory you should precede the file name with an absolute or relative directory specification.

An input STL catalogue may be in either the standard form or the KAPPA variant form (see Appendix ). By default CURSA writes standard STLs. It can be made to write a KAPPA variant STL by appending `KAPPA' inside curly brackets after the name of the file. For example, to write a KAPPA variant STL called perseus.TXT you would specify:

perseus.TXT{KAPPA}

`KAPPA' can be abbreviated down to just `K' and can be given in either case. Also the closing curly bracket is optional.
