- Strip v1.1 by Dennis Lai
- ------------------------
-
- ------------------------------------------
- NOTICE:
- ------------------------------------------
-
- This program is now public domain. Do What you wish with it. I hold NO
- responsiblity for what this program might do. It is NOT guarenteed to work
- for your intended purpose, What you do with it is at your own risk. This
- program must not be sold commercially (unless for a reasonable copying fee).
- Permission to include it in any commercial is granted if the credits and this
- file is enclosed and unchanged.
-
- Have you ever downloaded documents from UNIX or IBMs and realised that the
- manual or documents have backspace or <CR> embedded in it?
-
- The purpose of Strip is to get rid of the <BS> and the <CR> characters. It
- delete all occurence of <BS> characters. And gets rid of <CR> charcters in a
- special way, ie. if a <CR><LF> sequence is found it deletes the <CR>. But if
- only <CR> is found, it replaces it by <LF>.
-
- This should make the text fairly readable in most cases. I wrote this program
- because I can't find one that does the job (I can find ones that delete the
- <CR> characters) I want.
-
- USAGE:
-
- Strip <input file> [output file]
-
- If no filename is entered a help file will be shown. note that output file
- is optional and if omitted the output will be the cli window. Currently it
- can only be used from the the cli.
-
- -------------------------------------------
- Future:
- -------------------------------------------
- -Add in file requesters for input output.
- -Allow striping of Amiga ANSI sequence.
- -Striping of IBM ANSI sequence.
-
- -------------------------------------------
- Changes:
- -------------------------------------------
- v1.0 - too slow, not relased.
-
- v1.1 - speed up output dramatically.
- put in help message.
- put in <CR> deletion.
