Description:

	REFormat is a program used to convert input files into variable length
output files with implied carriage control. REFormat will also do ascii
and ebcdic conversions, strip null characters and delete sequences, and break
records on escape sequences.

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 the delete sequence from input file.
     /ESC  (D)  - break output records on cursor positioning escape sequences.
     /NAME (D)  - output the name of the reformatted output file.

   To negate a switch use a '-' or 'NO'.
