- Re: Stripper WS Util in Turbo - STRIPPER.PAS
-
- I noticed the PC and Pascal world doesn't have (or I couldn't find) a
- nice little public domain hi-bit stripping program for WS and other
- nasty type files. Grabbed a handful of PD programs, some TURBTOOL
- procedures, and did a little hack.
-
- Stripper naturally strips the 8th bit (just like good old PIP with the
- Z option). Also does a tabify routine to replace all those WS DOC
- type file streams of spaces with 8-space tabs. Also grabs isolated
- CRs and makes them CR/LF combinations.
-
- Works fairly fast (didn't do any inline assembler to keep it
- transportable), simple, from the command line. Default product is
- FOOBAR.HAR, but you can force any desired file name from the cmd line.
- Sorry, no MS-DOS paths (tho if someone could tell me how to do
- that...) but alternate disks, of course.
