[CLUE-Tech] RE question

[Kevin Cullis]

Match,

Thanks for the info, I've been so busy that I've not had time to thank
you for your input. Now you've given me ANOTHER thing to learn: tr!! 
Whew, my brains overloading and I think I need to dump my Windblows info
outta MY memory ;-)

The AMBASS.2 file is a Windows file, DOS, which I need to convert to
plain text and reconvert to HTML (that's my project). It's about over
500 files which I need to do tr to as well as use sed and awk, but one
thing at a time.

While I knew this, the info is great for future reference.  Thanks
again, you've saved my some time and effort.
