                     ----------------------------

This program was written to convert SMART text files to a format more
suitable for Impression, but may be equally useful for many other
types of word processor text files. It overcomes the problem of cr/lf,
an abundance of spaces & cleans out control codes etc.

The resultant text is operated on as follows :-

PROCcheck      Strip off cr/cf/space/new page from front
               cr/lf & lf/cr pairs are converted to a single cr.
               spaces at start of lines removed
               spaces at end of lines removed
               multi spaces removed
               remove characters >127 and <32.

Note there is a variable Allow$ at the start which contains the characters
>127 and <32 you wish to allow. As sent out it allows cr, lf & tab.

Where possible RAM is used for the conversion rather than disc thrashing.

I hope you find this useful.
