PURPOSE:
The DOWNER program was written because of a need created when
I attempted to download data from an IBM 8100 computer to my PC
compatible. The 8100 converts all character data to upper case,
which really was not desirable. After retyping several of the
downloaded files, I refused to retype the others. The first version
only performed Option 0 a 100 percent conversion to lower case.
I decided it needed several other options and created Version
2.0, which allows four conversion options.
SAMPLE SCREEN:

Enter Conversion Codes: 0 = all lower
1 = Caps after .!?
2 = First letter of each word
3 = Caps after .!? + First of line

character of each line.
APPLAUSE, APPLAUSE:
Seriously, if you would like to see more software available from
Botkin's SoftStuff and are like the multitudes that refuse to
tell anyone that you appreciate their efforts then please clap
your hands together and say out loud "Nice Job". Believe it or
not, I'll hear you and it will make me feel better.
Better yet, take two minutes and send me a card or letter stating
why you liked the software, how it could be improved and what
kind of software you would like to have but can not locate.
