     Description:

	REFormat is a program used to convert input files into variable
     length  output  files  with implied carriage control.  During this
     conversion, the control characters NULL, XON, XOFF, and DELETE are
     stripped.  The program will also optionally do ASCII to EBCDIC and
     EBCDIC  to  ASCII  conversions.  This program is generally used to
     reformat the RSXNET & VAXNET log files.
  
     Command line format:
  
       input_file/switches output_file/switches
  
     Where switches are:
  
     /ASCII	- Convert input file from ASCII to EBCDIC.
     /EBCDIC	- Convert input file from EBCDIC to ASCII.
     /VFU       - Input file contains line printer Vertical Format Control.
     /TOTAL     - Output number of records and bytes written to output file.
     /BACK (D)  - Remove delete sequences from the input file.
     /ESC  (D)  - Break output records on cursor positioning escape sequences.
     /NAME (D)  - Output the name of the reformatted output file.
   
     Switches can be negated by prefixing the switch with a '-' or 'NO'.
