+** KILLFF.C - A program was written to strip out all the Form Feeds
+** in text files.
+**
+** Public domain by Erik VanRiper, 12/22/91
+** Modified by Bob Stout, 17 Feb 93
+**
+** Reads a text file and makes a duplicate with NO Form Feed
+** characters! The default action is to create a duplicate without
+** Form Feeds, then remove the original and rename the dupliicate,
+** although an explicit output file name may be specified.
+**
+** Form Feed characters are replaced with newline characters ('\n').
+** Since ANSI mandates that fwrite() will translate newlines when
+** a stream is opened in text (non-binary) mode, these will appear
+** in the ouput file in a format appropriate to the implementation,
+** e.g. CRLF pairs on PC's.
+**
+** Usage: KILLFF filename [newname]
