Subject: Re: Mode 7 file

Hi,

A simple program like this one:

	 0 MODE 7
	10 INPUT "Input file",infile$
	20 I%=OPENIN infile$
	30 REPEAT
	40 X%=BGET£ I%
	50 IF X%<32 OR X%>127 X%=ASC"."
	60 VDU X%
	70 UNTIL EOF£ I%

will dump 'infile$' to the screen; normal characters (in the ASCII
range 32-126) will be displayed, but a full stop (ASC"." in line 50)
will be substituted for any control code.

Alternatively, insert the following lines:

	15 INPUT "Output file",outfile$
	25 O%=OPENOUT outfile$
	65 BPUT£ O%,X%

which will create a file 'outfile$' stripped of control codes.

I don't know if this is of any help, as presumably the control codes
meant something to the program that created the original file (e.g.
highlight codes in View).

Christopher.
