- _Clean C is a modestly useful utility that zaps gremlins (invisible
- characters) and uneeded blanks (spaces and tabs) from text files,
- as well as counting lines of source code.
-
- To use _Clean C, place it in the target source file folder, then
- launch it. _Clean C reads through 'TEXT' files, ignoring any others.
- Hit a key or click the mouse when _Clean C is finished to quit.
-
- _Clean C works with any text file, zapping gremlins and counting
- non-black lines. _Clean C has been thoroughly tested, and is
- proven safe.
- /* test _Clean C on this file in its own folder; you'll see the zap count
- and a count of the comment lines. you'll also see these gone: ø˙ ∫ */
-
- _Clean C is programmed especially for counting comment lines
- of C code (hence, the name _Clean C). If run on Pascal code, for
- example, _Clean C will correctly count the source lines, but
- will not recognize comment lines. Unless you're some bit twiddler
- that thinks "if it was hard to write, it should be hard to read",
- you know that comments enhance code maintainability.
- As The Midnight Hacker always sez,
- "If it's worth writing, it's worth reading. Keep it Clean."
-
- Because of the underscore, _Clean C is conveniently found at or near
- the end of a folder displayed by 'Name'.
-
- Any comments or suggestions may be sent to G.Odom, via GEnie.
- The Midnight Hacker doesn't answer his mail, but will accept
- sacks of cash in small, unmarked bills.
- _Clean C is free, not for sale.
- (Me and the Hacker had a big argument over this one. I won.)
- However, The Midnight Hacker sez he'll part with the source code
- for $10. Leave a message with G.Odom on GEnie if you're interested.

- /*
- A programmer's life is full of woe.
- Always bugs, many lines to go.
- When it just won't work, to your boss you're confessing,
- Put a smile on your lips by remembering this blessing...
-
- May your designs be elegant, your hacks beneficent.
- May the compiler smile upon you, and be gracious unto you.
- May your project lift up your countenance, and bring you peace.
- May the Code be with you, both now and forever more.
