Re:   FIXTEX12.ASM

I HAVE JUST UPLOADED FIXTEX12.ASM.

FIXTEX12 has a couple of bug fixed: One to allow assembly with MAC,
which allows nested IFs and therefore rejected an open IF statement,
and one to make sure that the high bit is stripped in all options.
(Some of the options that test a flag restore the byte from trhe input
buffer after the ANI 7Fh - that in effect resets the high bit if it
was set in the first place -- the bug fix just puts the reset byte
into the IBUF before going on to other option).

This program by PLK@MIT-MC, based on your FILTEX, is remarkably
useful.  I came back to it time and again to built a new tool that I
may need.  It surely ought to be in any list of all time winners in
the PD.
