[Disclaimer]
============
I, in ABSOLUTELY NO WAY, will be responsible for any damage that this
program may do, although I am 99.9% that everything is fine! This program is
TOTALLY Public Domain. No payment, no donations, no nothing! Its yours!
Distribute it as you wish, although it may NOT be modified in any form.
The following files should be in the Archive:
EXAMPLE.ASC <*= Example file before
conversion.
RESULT.ASC <*= Result of EXAMPLE.ASC
after conversion.
TASKEY.EXE <*= The program (obviously)
TASKEY.DOC <*= This file (REALLY!?!?)
README.1ST <*= Important Information.
[Introduction]
==============
You have just finished making your new main menu. If you are like
me you would like to just save the file in ASCII and say the heck with the
Commodore and Apple users who see nothing but garbage when their machines
come across the special IBM Characters. Since I have a handfull of those
users I usually feel guilty and change the whole ASCII menu around so they
can see it. TASKEY eliminates this! TASKEY will convert any ASCII file
with IBM Characters to PURE ASCII. Not only does this save time and effort
but the result is usually a sharp looking ASCII menu that even your IBM
Users will enjoy!
[Operation]
===========
TASKEY is easy to use. Simply type the following at the DOS prompt:
TASKEY FILE.ASC
i.e.: TASKEY MENU.ASC
This will take the ASCII file MENU.ASC and simulate what the file will
look like after it has been "tasked". You are then prompted to either
convert the file to pure ASCII characters, or abort the process, and
leave the file unchanged.
[History]
=========
v1.0 --- First Release
12/31/88
v2.0 --- Fixed comma (') bug. TASKEY now converts ALL characters.
9/13/89 Changed from .COM to .EXE format.
Added Simulate Function [TASKEY will allow you to see what the
converted file will look like BEFORE it actually gets converted]

I am open to any praises and putdowns. I hope this program helps you
as much as it has helped me!
