- Sat 28-Mar-92: I have updated my third filter collection making it
- garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsfltc13.zip by adding ROT13.EXE which rotates
- ascii text by 13 positions. This is often used as an elementary
- encryption technique for public but somehow sensitive texts.
- ROT13.EXE works both ways because the method is transitive. It
- rotates unrotated text and unrotates rotated text. My version of
- ROT13.EXE is "clever" in the sense that it can detect redirection,
- and thus if you don't direct any input to it, it will give you the
- instructions.

- Thu 30-Jan-92: I have updated to garbo.uwasa.fi:/pc/ts/tsfltc12.zip.
- It is a futher collection of my filters that you can customize
- yourself. The filter DETAB.EXE for filtering tabs now has the
- following enhancements:
- - A new optional keep switch (/k) to make the date/time stamp of the
- destination file the same as that of the source text file.
- - To allow the source text file and the destination file be the
- same. In other words the programs can now make the conversion
- without forcing you to produce new files with names different from
- the original.
- - The programs first test whether the source file is a proper text
- file with MsDos #13#10 eolns, no special characters (#0..#6, #8,
- #11, #14..#25, #28..#31), and no lines exceeding 254 characters in
- length. If not the conversion will not be attempted.

- Sat 17-Aug-91: The inkjet printer I am using at office does not have
- an adequate NLQ option for quality printing so I decided to program
- a simple but useful filter REP.EXE which repeats each line of a text
- file three times (by default). The filter also can but in a left
- margin, and send preamble and postamble escape sequences. The filter
- is part of my updated filter package /pc/ts/tsfltc11.arc.
