sly and writesly

[David Raleigh Arnold]

At long last writesly, a python script that takes parts off the
disk and builds a sly file with them, using the header as a
guide.  In other words, it reverses what sly does.

Sly has been simplified.  The only special thing you put in your notes
data is the field separator, which sly gets from the first two bytes of
the header.  A comment field, which will be written to all files unless
it is empty, is new.  You can write successive fields to the same file
now, which amounts to having fields with multiple lines.  Header
example:

!! my.sly
dummy.ly !! clar.ly 
tpt.ly
!!

Writesly could get the parts off disk and write a sly file
like this example:

!! my.sly
dummy.ly !! clar.ly 
tpt.ly
!!!! dummy stuff !! clar notes %
more clar notes %
more clar notes yet
tpt notes
!! dummy stuff !! clar notes
tpt notes
!! dummy stuff !! clar notes
tpt notes
%comment!! dummy stuff !! clar notes
tpt notes

clar.ly would look like this:

clar notes %
more clar notes %
more clar notes yet
clar notes
clar notes
%comment
clar notes
