-
- This program will remove the control-Z characters from a file
- without re-copying the file (no .BAK file). The control-Z
- characters are replaced by another character. The program
- defaults to insert a space (hex 20), but the default can be
- overridden with the -C option on the command line. After the -C,
- place the hexadecimal code to be inserted, for example:
-
- fast_z c:\file\opus\dir.bbs -c0d
-
- will replace all of the control-Z characters with return
- characters. The -C option may be specified with a - or a /, and
- may be upper or lower case. The hex digits, likewise, can be
- upper or lower case A-F or a-f.
-
- Since it doesn't create a backup file, and only replaces a
- control-Z when it finds one, it should run faster than strip_z on
- large files. Also, it doesn't stop at the first control-Z and
- will process to the physical end-of-file (as recorded in the DOS
- directory).
-
- Notes:
- 1) Wildcards are not supported.
- 2) If a control-z is found at the end of the record (preceded by
- a cr/lf), then the space (or user specified character) is written
- BEFORE the cr/lf, that is, the sequence cr/lf/ctl-z is replace by
- space/cr/lf.
- 3) If a control-z is found after a line feed which is NOT
- preceded by a return, then the lf/ctl-z sequence is replaced by
- space/lf (or whatever the replacement character is).
