Sat 26-Aug-89: Released update tsfilt16.arc of my first filter collection. Available by anynymous ftp as usual. See towards the end of this message for the contents of the package. ................................................................... Prof. Timo Salmi (Site 128.214.12.3) School of Business Studies, University of Vaasa, SF-65101, Finland Internet: ts@chyde.uwasa.fi Funet: vakk::salmi Bitnet: salmi@finfun TSFILT16.ARC has the following enhancements: - ASC2IBM.EXE and IBM2ASC.EXE have been added. These are filters for Scandinavian conversions of 8-bit <--> 7-bit characters. They perform a similar function as TOIBM.EXE and TOASC.EXE. The difference is that the latter are programs taking the files as parameters, while the new programs are filters, which can be used in pipes. The background of these two new filter is the following. I discovered that I needed the conversion utilities for Unix as well, and wrote these two filters in a Unix system using Pascal making the programs as portable as possible. I then imported the source code to my PC and recompiled them with Turbo Pascal. Because of their origin ASC2IBM.EXE and IBM2ASC.EXE have not been optimized for Turbo Pascal speed. - QUOTE.EXE switches have been redesigned. It now works in the same way as my Unix quote filter. Those of you who might be interested in my Unix programs, and have and ftp capability, can obtain them by anonymous ftp from the University of Vaasa, Finland, Sun 4, site 128.214.12.3, directory /unix/ts. Multiword quotes are now possible.
