ANSIKILL1.2 DOCS
Written by

This program is FREEWARE nothing whatsoever is expected
from you for it's use. BUT I am not responsible for and
blown fuses, flooded basements, cracked windshields, or
any other catastophy resulting from it's use. ALWAYS
backup your text files before using ANY conversion
software.
OOOPPPSSS! The first version (written and uploaded a few
hours ago) didn't add linefeeds to the file. Showed up
great in XTree and Listr but the printout was all on the
same line!! This jewel does it right.
No real docs needed for this file. Simply run it from the
DOS prompt and answer the prompts. Most documentation needed
is on the screen for you.
INPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT use the same filename for both Source and
Destination!! The files are not held in memory
and will destroy your Source file without creating
a Destination file.
This program was written because I was downloading Amiga files
on my IBM for my daughter's Amiga. Since my printer is connected
to my IBM, I needed to print her docs files on the IBM but the
Amiga uses a character string 10 for line feeds instead of the
usual character string 13. Most files of this sort are actually
written to be printed to the screen rather that a printer (that
I know of) and include ANSI color codes to highlight certain areas
of text. Because of the 'quirks' between machines, it was necessary
to reformat the text and to strip out the ANSI codes for printing
the file to an IBM printer. That is exactly what this program
does. It converts the character string 10's to character string
13's and strips out all ANSI codes in the text file. You can
use the COPY or TYPE commands at the IBM DOS prompt to print to a
printer or use your favorite print utility.
Enjoy,
Dan
