- CHKTXT -- Is a DOS utility that checks a textfile for suspicious
- characters. Suspicious characters are control characters other than
- CR+LF (0D 0A), TAB/HT (09) and EOF/SUB (1A). It also gives the user an
- option to fix the file. Fixing the file removes the suspicious control
- characters and replaces CR, LF, LF+CR with CR+LF. Fixing also adds an
- EOF char after the last line in the file, if it's missing or removes
- it if it's in the middle of a line.

- I wrote CHKTXT couple a years ago when I had a damaged .C file that
- compiled, but didn't work right. Later (MUCH LATER) when I found out
- that the bug was realy a CR+LF mixup I got so angry that I sat down and
- wrote CHKTXT. Since than it has often been a real life-saver e.g. when
- moving textfiles between systems or when the DOS makes one of those
- "funny" surprices that make life worth living. Since it has been such a
- live-saver to me, I thought that maybe there was someone out there who
- liked to be saved. If there are, feel free to be saved. Hope it will be
- useful.
