                STRIPIT File Preparation Program


     Tired  of spending hours reformatting large files  that  you 
have  downloaded from an online information service  like  Compu-
Serve,  ABA/net  or Prodigy?  Feeling guilty  about  making  your 
secretary  spend  her lunch hour and then  some  stripping  extra 
carriage returns from file that you extracted from your nifty new 
CD  ROM  drive?  Similar frustrations drove me into  coding  this 
small utility.

     STRIPIT  will quickly transform a standard ASCII  file  into 
one  suitable for use with most word-processors by  removing  any 
carriage  returns that are followed by a character other  than  a 
space  or another carriage.  This means that if your file  has  a 
blank line seperating paragraphs or if the paragraphs start  with 
an indent, you're in luck.
