F-Genie in Reverse?

Philip, Any chance of a Function Genie to reverse engineer an existing
document layout?
I'd like to see one if that's possible.

Chris,
Although arexx can be a powerfull program, it would be very difficult to
have a genie reconstruct a page or document to take it down a version or
two…it would also be agonizingly slow.
I don't know if Arexx could handle the difference in some of the coding (or
how PPage handles certain routines).

Philip,
I don't know what you mean by, "to take it down a version or two…"
I just wanted to have a Function Genie look over the page layout, gather
that information and write a Page Genie. Just take the box positions and
other information to make the page up. Not the text, or graphics contained
within. I just thought that there are probably many templates already made
up, but not similar page genies, and if a function genie could be written
to examine these 'templates' and write the page genie there would possibly
be more genies created by users and uploaded to BBS systems around the
country or submitted to GD.
Whatcha think?
Chris
