ip2pc

ip2pc

IP2PC scans a directory, formats incoming files for PC consumption and leaves
them in the output queue given by the PQ header field.  The filename is either
PC-style or DEC (Atex) or MAC. Any supplementary information that the FIP
filename is carrying is stuffed in the header.

Filename is stuck at the top of the header with "Original Filename:" in front.
The header is tailed with a '~'.

Note that IPPC formats copy in a similar way using FIP header fields to process
each file and writing the resultant file to that described in the PQ header
field. 

Input Parameters are :
        Optional : 
        -i : input queue                                default: spool/2pc
        -h : do NOT zap the FIP header                  default: zap header
        -e : no CR/NL translation.                      default: NL -> CR NL

                rather than pc (8 with no extention)
    -r : Path for the MAC resfork. Note that a trailing '/' is required.

    -F mac/RESFORK
    -f TEXTttxt
    -u hyphen
