- LowerIBM version 1.00
-
- A public domain program by Rob Rosenberger
- "An exercise in utility"
-
- Released to the public domain on February 11, 1989
- Rob Rosenberger, CompuServe ID 74017,1344

-
- This program converts the IBM extended characters to their
- equivalent non-graphics characters. It is especially useful for
- Epson printers which cannot print those characters. Epson users
- can "push" ASCII files through this utility in order to print out
- a decent-looking document.
-
- Before using LowerIBM:
- ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
- ║This box is made up of IBM extended "graphics" characters║
- ╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
- After using LowerIBM:
- /---------------------------------------------------------\
- |This box is made up of IBM extended "graphics" characters|
- \---------------------------------------------------------/
-
- You invoke LowerIBM in the following manner:
-
- LOWERIBM ?
- LOWERIBM <inputfile >outputfile
-
- The "<" and ">" symbols are called redirection symbols. You
- should check your DOS manual if you don't know what they do.
- Please DON'T use the same file for input and output. You'll
- destroy the file. That's the only drawback to using the "<" and
- ">" redirection symbols.
-
- You can even specify a printer as the output file. Do it in
- the following manner:
-
- LOWERIBM <inputfile >PRN
-
-
- I hope you find this program useful. If you have comments
- or criticisms, please feel free to send me a CompuServe EasyPlex
- message.
