ASCII_Filter


The ASCII_Filter program was written for filtering out non-ASCH characters from ASCII files. Transmission errors, wrongly entered characters and so on, were only a few reasons that non-ASCII characters make their way into ASCII files. Tasks such as Kermit file transfer, transfer of files from
one application to another and compiling corrupted source code often result in errors when such corrupted files were involved. Since standard editors would not display some of these characters, detecting them was not an easy task.

The second application of the ASCII_Filter program was conversion of ASCII files and non-ASCII files between different platforms. The following conversions were currently possible: DOS to Macintosh, DOS to UNIX. UNIX to Macintosh and Macintosh to UNIX.

The third application of the ASCII_Filter program was an exchange of arbitrary characters (decimal value 0-255) in the ASCII or non-ASCII file into arbitrary characters (decimal value 0-255). ASClI_Filter also displays the number of characters of a given type and the total number of characters in the input file.
