** Multiple Recursive Search and Replace version 1.06 for OS/2 **

This is a command line program for doing search and replace operations on text
files. Rather than being limited to a single file at a time, or a single search
and replace at one time, MRSR allows multiple files and up to 100 search and
replace operations at once. MRSR also does BLOCK searches. So comments can be
removed from files. MRSR will optionally go through an entire sub-directory tree.

Syntax: MRSR [@file] filespec [/E<ext>] /S## /R## [/s]
   @file           option file
   filespec        input file specification. May be repeated (*.DAT *.HTM)
   /A##<activate>  Activate Search string. Numbered from 00 to 99
   /B<S|E>##       Block Search. Text between /BS## and /BE## is replaced
   /C              Compress blank lines
   /D#             Debug mode. The # is number of lines per file
   /E<ext>         output file Extension for last filespec. Default is "RSR".
   /MDyyyymmdd[-yyyymmdd]
                   Files Modified on Date, or within date range (1980 - 3999)
   /MThhmm[-hhmm]  Files Modified at Time, or within time range (0000 - 2359)
   /O##<C|D>       Options (Case, Double quotes). Numbered from 00 to 99
   /P              recurse through Paths
   /R##<replace>   Replace string. Numbered from 00 to 99
   /S##<search>    Search string. Numbered from 00 to 99
   /T              Test input and output file names
   /V[[*]filename] Verbose Output. Optionally to file name
   /X<filespec>    eXclude file specification
   /?@|#|b|c|d|e|m|o|p|r|s|t|v|x|?  Long help on switch
