Subject: Stripper WS Util in Turbo

NetLandians,

I noticed the PC and Pascal world doesn't have (or I couldn't find) a nice
little public domain hi-bit stripping program for WS and other nasty type
files.  Grabbed a handful of PD programs, some TURBTOOL procedures, and
did a little hack.

Stripper naturally strips the 8th bit (just like good old PIP with the Z
option).  Also does a tabify routine to replace all those WS DOC type file
streams of spaces with 8-space tabs.  Also grabs isolated CRs and makes them
CR/LF combinations.

Works fairly fast (didn't do any inline assembler to keep it transportable),
simple, from the command line.  Default product is FOOBAR.HAR, but you can
force any desired file name from the cmd line.  Sorry, no MS-DOS paths
(tho if someone could tell me how to do that...) but alternate disks, of
course.

Source is available via FTP from my directory, ABN.ISCAMS@USC-ISID as:
STRIPPER.PAS

I'll leave it there for a week or so.

Would appreciate feedback (especially if any bugs or failures!).
