Line Feed Carriage Return Clean Up
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary of Purpose: Clean Up Text Files for displaying.
Some files uploaded have problems: they have the high order bit set
(making text appear as garbage or graphic characters) or they are
missing carriage returns, or have other problems.
Summary of Action Taken:
LFCR will remove all Control-S, Control-Q characters from a file plus
replace all Carriage Returns and Line Feeds with Carriage Return/Line
Feed combinations. LFCR leaves bit 8 of each character alone.
LFCR8 does the same thing as LFCR, but also strips bit 8 from the
entire file.
Both programs insure that a control-Z is at the end of the file.
How to use:
lfcr filename.ext
or lfcr8 filename.ext
WARNING:
Neither program will insert carriage returns by breaking up paragraphs
or insert multiple carriage returns where none were intended in the
original text file.
SOURCE PROGRAM DISTRIBUTION:
Any changes to source programs should be returned to Michael Podanoffsky
