Subject: ENSOFT/UNSOFT cleans WS text files

The following new files have been uploaded to SIMTEL20:

Filename			Type	 Bytes	 Sectors     CRC

Directory MICRO:<CPM.TXTUTL>
ENSOFT.COM.1			COM	  4864   38 =  26H  15F1H
ENSOFT.HEX.1			ASCII	 11860   93 =  5DH  7114H
UNSOFT.COM.1			COM	  6144   48 =  30H  3875H
UNSOFT.DOC.1			ASCII	  1057    9 =   9H  9256H
UNSOFT.HEX.1			ASCII	 14970  117 =  75H  E2FCH

What these files do:

ENSOFT.COM -  A program to convert an ASCII text file to Wordstar
document mode.  Makes educated guesses about where to put soft and
hard carriage returns as well as soft spaces.


UNSOFT.COM - A program to convert Wordstar document-mode files to
normal ASCII text files.  Resets all high order bits added by Wordstar
to zero.  Removes all control characters except TAB, FF, CR and LF.
Strips out dot commands except .PA which it converts to FF.  Changes
the 1FH soft hyphen at end-of-line to a real 2DH hyphen.  (FILTX2
would totally remove the character.)  Handles non-break-space
correctly.  Type UNSOFT ? for additional information.	

    NOTE:  If for any reason you do not wish to retain FF (form feed)
	   characters, you can run the program through FILTX.COM after
	   first using UNSOFT.COM.
