CLEANATX.EXE ver 1.2
Copyright 1992 - Herbert Bushong

Description
============

The original was written in PPLC but I re-wrote it as an EXE for 
ease of use and speed purposes. 

Originally this utility was for stripping PCBoard @X codes from a file
and output then to a new file. It still does that but now a lot more.
Now, in addition to being able to strip PCBoard @X color codes, it can
also strip Wildcat @##@ color codes from files in the same manner.

It can also, instead of stripping, convert between PCBoard and WC color
codes, and also converts 45 @macros@ that have equivalents.

The program is great for stripping out color codes from your bulletins
(useful for creating a downloadable file), as a prime example.
It is also useful when switching BBS software, or swapping display
files.

In "strip mode" It will not touch any other @MACROS@, only the color codes 
from 00 to FF. The input file is never altered in any mode, all changes
are placed in the ouput file. Note: the output file will be OVERWRITTEN
if it already exists.

Execution
=========
The default action is to strip PCBoard @X codes from the input file.

the syntax is:

CLEANATX.EXE [path]inputfile [path]outputfile [/H] [/P|/W] [/C]

    inputfile & outputfile must be given and have different names

    /H    shows you the help screen
    /P    indicates inputfile is a PCBoard-type file
    /W    indicates inputfile is a Wildcat-type file
    /C    Causes inputfile type to be converted instead of stripped.
          /P or /W must be given with this switch
