EOF zapper

[Carl Distefano CLDistefano@xxxxxxxx]

I briefly tried Annie's version of Harry's Ascii-26 (1Ah) zapper. A
couple of differences between it and setting DEFAULT 1A=1 in
Xy4|XyWin are worth noting.

The zapper utility will delete 1A's occurring within 3-byte XyWrite
characters (for example, the "boldface" [282], which consists of
Ascii 254+26+0), while Xy4|XyWin preserves those 3-byte characters.
These potentially mischievous 3-byters virtually never appear in
document files, but occur often enough in some XPL PMs. Thus, use
care when running the zapper on XPL files.

Another difference is that Xy4 will substitute an Ascii-49 (the
character "1") for the EOF marker and all subsequent instances of
1A. The zapper utility simply deletes them.
