Options Explained:

Options may be used in any combination except:
      When using Replace Selected Control Characters do not select Make
      File Pure Text.


Make File Pure Text          = Remove all embedded Control Characters.
                               Only normal Text Characters are preserved
                               when this is used. (Ie. ASCII 32 thru 126)

Change Start Column          = Start all lines at Tab n. All lines will be
                               formatted to start at the Left Margin.

Change Ending Column         = End lines no further than Tab n. All lines will
                               be formatted not to exceed this Right Margin.

Make File all Upper/Lower    = Make all Characters Upper or Lower Case. All
                               characters will be made there Upper or Lower
                               case equivalent.

Remove All Blank Lines       = Remove any blank lines in file. Any lines
                               which do not contain text will be removed
                               from the file

Remove Selected Characters   = Remove specific Control Codes. Codes entered
                               will be deleted from the file. Codes are
                               normal ASCII character numbers entered in
                               Decimal format separated by a Space or Comma.

Replace Selected Characters  = Replace Removed Control Codes with ?. Will
                               replace codes entered in Remove Selected
                               Characters with ones entered here.
                               Example:
                                  Remove Codes are    1,2
                                  Replace Codes are   2,1
                               Result would be ASCII Characters 1 would be
                               replaced with 2, and 2 with 1.

Limit File Size              = Break file into smaller ones. This is useful
                               for breaking up large files such as manuals.
                               When the maximum number of lines per file is
                               reached, a new one is created.
                               Example:
                                     Limit MANUAL.DOC file size to 800 lines
                                     and MANUAL.DOC is 1600 lines long.
                                Result would create two files called
                                MANU0.TF and MANU1.TF, each 800 lines long.

Set Page Length              = Set form feeds every nth line. This sets the
                               form feed every nth line.
