This program is used to receive files from a Hyphen editorial system.
A parameter file for the data is held in tables/setup and defaults to HYPHEN.
Keywords for HYPHEN parameter file are :
; comment line
filename: New filename for output file in FipSeq
outfmt: Name for the output format field, DF
chrset: Name of the SC or Source chrset for xchgs
sendq: Output queue if NOT send to spool/2go for distribution
If this does NOT start with a '/', it is assumed under spool.
doneq: Done queue for original files once sent - or 'delete' to zap
If this does NOT start with a '/', it is assumed under spool.
defdest: Default Destination for files if nothing is found in the
'Hyphen Title' field - the Fip DU field as per sys/USERS
force: Force the Destination to ALWAYS go to this destination (DU)
nohdr: Do NOT add a Fip style header on the output file
hdrto: Hyphen header field holding the destination
This is normally 'title'
hyphdr: Hyphen Hdr field name) (spaces/tabs) (FipHdr field name)
eg:
hyphdr:creator SA
hyphdr:format SF
Default output format field (DF) is HYPO.
Default chrset field (SC) is HYPO.
Default send queue is spool/2go.
If no default destination is specified (defdest:) and there is nothing in the
Hyphen 'Title' field, it will be sent to a destination which is the last part
of the input queue name.
Where sections of FipHdr fields are required or changes to the output style,
use keywords : fixed, partial, combie, optional, repeat, newdate and/or style.
(see The SysAdmin manual for more information).

option:QE ep,11,7,s
repeat:QK XK,-,3
or repeat:QP PK,,4,#X
style:QS XN,%.03d
