# 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
