LST2ASC: Tara Datafile Utilities, v. 2.0, (c) 1987 by David C. Oshel
Writes USBBSnnn.LST as a MailMerge-type datafile to standard output.
Usage: C>lst2asc <inputfile >outputfile
Example: C>lst2asc <usbbs36a.lst >usbbs.dat
The USBBSnnn.LST file is a popular list of nation-wide bulletin board
systems. It is distributed as a table with a (fairly) regular structure.
This program reads the .LST file from STANDARD INPUT, marks off the fields
it contains (or should contain), and writes out new records in customary
MailMerge format to STANDARD OUTPUT. Header and footer info, or any line
which does not begin with a digit, is ignored. Field separator is COMMA.
