 Description:

     Strips ANSI characters and 
     ASCII control(^) characters from text files.

 Usage from the shell:

     CleanUp ><path/cleanfilename> <dirtyfilename>

 Example:

  You have a text file that is loaded with strange looking 
  characters. You want the strange stuff to go >nil:.

  Assuming the offensive file is called "unsit.man", and you 
  want to clean it up and send the output to RAM: for safe 
  keeping, call CleanUp like this:

     CleanUp >RAM:unsit.man unsit.man

  CleanUp writes it's output to stdout, so if you don't
  specify a destination (>RAM:unsit.man) the cleaned up file
  will be ECHOed to the shell.

  You could give the file a new name when redirecting the output.
 
  CleanUp is an Arexx script that behaves like an executable.
  It can be called from any shell. 

 Installation:

  Copy CleanUp and Gawk to C: or anyplace in the path.
  Copy ixemul.lib to LIBS:

 Money Back Gaurantee

  If CleanUp won't fix your problem child, try some of the other
  strippers on AmiNet. If that doesn't work, email us the
  offending file and we will return a version of CleanUp that
  will work for you.
