ØÓÔÒÉÐ.ÄÏÃ

ØÓÔÒÉÐ.ÂÉÎ WILL REMOVE THE ÃÔÒÌ-Ú, $1Á, ÃÈÒ$(26), ØÍÏÄÅÍ PADDING CHARACTERS
FROM THE END OF DOWNLOADED FILES. ÉT WILL PROCESS AN ENTIRE DISK OF FILES, OR
A SELECTED NUMBER OF FILES INDIVIDUALLY.  ØÓÔÒÉÐ.ÂÉÎ IS A COMPILED VERSION
FOR THE Ã64 ONLY.  ØÓÔÒÐÂ.ÂÉÎ IS THE ÂÁÓÉÃ VERSION FOR THE Ã64 AND THE Ã128.
ÂOTH PROGRAMS CAN BE "LOADED AND RUN."

ÔHIS NEW ØÓÔÒÉÐ.ÂÉÎ WAS MODELED AFTER ×AYNE ÓCHMIDT'S ORIGINAL ØÓÔÒÉÐ.ÂÉÎ   
AFTER IT WAS FOUND THAT THE LATTER OVERWRITES A DATA BYTE WITH A ÃÈÒ$(13), $0Ä, 
THEREBY CAUSING PROBLEM WITH MANY PROGRAMS.

ÔHE PROGRAM SEARCHES FOR THE END OF A FILE AND LOOKS AT THE LAST DATA BYTE. ÉF
IT EQUALS A ÃÔÒÌ-Ú, IT WILL DECREMENT AND CHECK THE NEXT DATA BYTE UNTIL IT
FINDS A NON ÃÔÒÌ-Ú CHARACTER AND REWRITES THE END-OF-FILE (ÅÏÆ) POINTER TO
POINT TO THIS CHARACTER.  ÉF THE ÃÔÒÌ-Ú'S CONTINUE INTO THE PREVIOUS SECTOR,
THE PROGRAM WILL CONTINUE TO PROCESS THE NEW SECTOR AND REWRITE THE ÅÏÆ
POINTER IN IT. ÉF THE NUMBER OF ÃÔÒÌ-Ú'S EXCEEDS 127, THE SELECTIVE MODE (THE
PROCESS ALL MODE WILL ABORT AND NOT CHANGE ANYTHING) WILL ASK YOU IF YOU WISH
TO CONTINUE PROCESSING.  ÉF YOU ANSWER NO, THE PROGRAM WILL ABORT THE PROCESS
FOR THE PRESENT FILE AND CONTINUE ON THE NEXT FILE.  Á YES ANSWER WILL
CONTINUE THE PROCESS. ÉF THE ÃÔÒÌ-Ú'S EXCEED 2 DISK SECTORS, THE PROGRAM
ABORTS THE PROCESS.

ÔHE DISPLAY IS AS FOLLOWS:

ÃÕÒÒÅÎÔ Ô&Ó:            ÎÅØÔ Ô&Ó:
×ÏÒËÉÎÇ Ô&Ó:            ÌÁÓÔ Ô&Ó:
ÏÌÄ ÂÙÔÅÓ:              ÎÅ× ÂÙÔÅÓ:

ÃÕÒÒÅÎÔ Ô&Ó: WILL DISPLAY WHICH TRACK AND SECTOR (Ô&Ó) IT IS LOOKING AT.
ÎÅØÔ Ô&Ó: DISPLAYS WHICH Ô&Ó IS NEXT IN LINE TO BE SEARCHED. ×HEN THE LAST Ô&Ó
IS REACHED, IT WILL DISPLAY THE ÅÏÆ POINTER.
ÌÁÓÔ Ô&Ó: INDICATES WHERE THE ORIGINAL ÅÏÆ POINTER IS.
×ÏÒËÉÎÇ Ô&Ó: DISPLAYS WHICH Ô&Ó IS BEING PROCESSED FOR ÃÔÒÌ-Ú'S.
ÏÌÄ ÂÙÔÅÓ: INDICATES THE NUMBER OF BYTES OF THE FILE BEFORE STRIPPING.
ÎÅ× ÂÙÔÅÓ: INDICATES THE NUMBER OF BYTES AFTER STRIPPING. ÉF THE FILE HAS NOT
BEEN STRIPPED, THIS WILL EQUAL THE OLD BYTES.

ÖARIOUS MESSAGES ARE DISPLAYED, INCLUDING WHEN A FILE HAS BEEN STRIPPED OR
NOT, WHEN THE ÃÔÒÌ-Ú'S EXCEED 127 BYTES AND/OR CONTINUE INTO THE PREVIOUS
BLOCK, AND WHICH Ô&Ó THE NEW ÅÏÆ POINTER IS BEING WRITTEN TO.

ÓOME FILES USE ÃÔÒÌ-Ú'S AS PART OF THEIR DATA, SO YOU SHOULD ALWAYS STRIP A
COPY (NOT THE ORIGINAL) AND MAKE SURE IT WORKS. ÉF YOU THINK THE FILES HAVE
BEEN PADDED WITH $00 AND NOT $1Á, THEN USE ÃÂÔÆÉØ.ÂÉÎ IN THE ÃÂÍÃÏÍ ÃÂÔÅÒÍ
DATA LIBRARY.
