\ This table strips the first 256 characters from a file
\ I picked 256 as an arbitrary number; you can strip any number of characters
\ from the beginning of a file by modifying this table with a different
\ number of wild card characters in the equation, OR you can run this table
\ more than once on your input file and its successive output files
\ (each run will strip another 256 characters from the beginning of the file).
\ Do keep in mind, though, that SNR allows a maximum of 4999
\ characters in a conversion equation, which will effectively limit the
\ one-time stripping length to something under 2500 characters, because
\ wild card characters are represented by at least two characters: a slash
\ and a letter.
\ This type of table is useful in removing garbage headers of various lengths
\ from word processing or database files.
\ ignore any 256 characters following the start of job:
\s*(256)\p=
