# Coroutine example: general coroutine transfers
#
# The program is a variation of a Simula 67 program due to Dahl & Hoare,
# (Dahl/Dijkstra/Hoare, Structured Programming; Academic Press, 1972)
# who in turn credit the original example to Conway.
#
# We have a number of input lines, terminated by a 0 byte. The problem
# is to squash them together into output lines containing 72 characters
# each. A semicolon must be added between input lines. Runs of blanks
# and tabs in input lines must be squashed into single blanks.
# Occurrences of "**" in input lines must be replaced by "^".
#
# Here's a test case:
test = """\
d = sqrt(b**2 - 4*a*c)
twoa = 2*a
L = -b/twoa
R = d/twoa
A1 = L + R
A2 = L - R\0
"""
# The program should print:
# d = sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c);twoa = 2*a; L = -b/twoa; R = d/twoa; A1 = L + R;
#A2 = L - R
#done
# getline: delivers the next input line to its invoker
# disassembler: grabs input lines from getline, and delivers them one
# character at a time to squasher, also inserting a semicolon into
# the stream between lines
# squasher: grabs characters from disassembler and passes them on to
# assembler, first replacing "**" with "^" and squashing runs of
# whitespace
# assembler: grabs characters from squasher and packs them into lines
# with 72 character each, delivering each such line to putline;
# when it sees a null byte, passes the last line to putline and
# then kills all the coroutines
# putline: grabs lines from assembler, and just prints them
