Ponzo Conversion Utility...

If you've ever used or studied the free C Tutorial by P.J. Ponzo, then
I think you'll agree that it is a very good fundamental collection of
C lessons.  However, you can only look at the lessons using the 
text presentation utility that accompanies the lessons called, DISPLAY.

This utility converts the lessons and tests and other text files to 
readable, printable ASCII files for convenience sake.  To do this, at
the command line prompt (i.e., C:>), the syntax is:

  PONCON "infile" "outfile"

... where PONCON is the name of the program (poncon.exe), "infile" is
the name of the lesson file provided with the C Tutorial (for example,
LESSON1 or EXPLAIN), and "outfile" is whatever you want to call the
converted tutorial file that will be stripped of the DISPLAY codes.  
You may call them LESSON1.TXT, for example.  Be sure to NOT type in the
quotation marks.

The result will be a file you can print out or read with the DOS TYPE 
command or any regular DOS/Windows file editor without having to mentally
filter out the DISPLAY DOT and ~ codes.

I've also included the C source for this...two programs.  PONCON.C is 
source code specific to the Mix Power C Compiler.  PONCONA.C is your
basic ANSI-compatible source code that should be compilable by any
ANSI standard compiler.

As much as I hate to have to say this...I will not be held responsible
for any problems that this software may cause.  However, if there were
something wrong with it, I wouldn't be using it myself, much less giving
it away here.

Best of all, this software is free.  I did this as a learning exercise, 
and as such, I've received my compensation.  However, if you like this 
utility or not, I'd just like a note of comment.  You can reach me at:
