FILTX v1.2 - Filter ASCII text files for unwanted characters

This program copies any ASCII file and filters out all imbedded control characters except CR, LF and TAB. When a CR is encountered, a LF is automatically appended to make the file compatible with CP/M editors. If an "orphan" LF is encountered, a CR and LF are written to the output. The program also resets the high order bit of all characters to zero so that files created with WordStar or other text processing programs can be read properly by normal routines. The end of the program is padded with continuous EOF (CTL-Z) characters to finish the sector.

FILTX is also useful for fixing files which contain only CR's at the end of each line.
