Hi!

    Thanks but I prefer Pascal.  My version is VERY inelegant but I
know I'll be able to understand it the next time I look at it.

version*******************************************************************

program strip;

{ Remove high order bit of all characters in an ASCII text file }

var buff: char;
    inName, outName: string[64];
    inFile, outFile: text;

begin
  write('Name of input file? ');
  readln(inName);
  assign(inFile, inName);
  reset(inFile);
  write('Name of output file? ');
  readln(outName);
  assign(outFile, outName);
  rewrite(outFile);
  repeat
    read(inFile, buff);
    buff := chr(ord(buff) and $7F);
    write(outFile, buff)
  until eof(inFile);
  close(inFile);
  close(outFile)
end.
