This program converts a word processor file into an ASCII text file
that can easily be displayed using the DOS TYPE command or be printed on
a printer with the DOS COPY filename.ext PRN command. Files converted by
this program can also be loaded into HyperRead Generator (also by
Leithauser Research) to convert to hypertext files.
Document Cleaner converts any TAB characters (ASCII 9) in a file into
several spaces. It strips out any other control characters. It adds a
carriage return to lines that are too long to be displayed on the screen.
It also adds a border to both sides of the text by adding a user selected
number of spaces to the left side of each line.
The program will display a list of files in the currect directory and
ask you for the name of the file to input. Then it will ask you for the
name to give the output file. The default output file name is the input
file name with a TXT extension, unless the input file had a TXT extension,
in which case the output extension will be ASC. The program will then ask
you for the number of spaces in the left margin. It will then ask for the
number of spaces in the right margin. Finally, it will ask you for the
number of spaces to replace a tab with. I recommend accepting the default
value in each case unless you have a strong prefference otherwise.
Document Cleaner is designed to be used on word processor files that
you want to distribute in plain ASCII format or load into HyperRead Generator
to convert to hypertext files. Document Cleaner is a shareware program. If you
use it for purposes other than evaluation of the programs capabilities, please
