QA stands for Quick Ascii. It's just that. It will convert any kind of
word processor file (or anything else) to ASCII with appropriate line
feeds; it will also expand some tabs (though only word processors that
use the standards ascii 9 for tabs). The output will not be pretty, but
it will be readable. Thus, if you have, say, a MultiMate file, but no
MultiMate, and are curious to know what it is, just go:
QA <INPUT_FILE >OUTPUT_FILE
and then use LIST or TYPE to study the OUTPUT_FILE. QA relies upon DOS
redirection so you must follow the redirection rules. There might be
other stuff, garbage, included in the OUTPUT_FILE besides text. You
will have to decide what is text and what is not. If you just type QA
and hit the return, you'll get a descriptive message. If you like QA
and wish to send money, send it to a nice charity, and drop me a card.
