[][ it doesnt need go32.whatever....
[][ sommink mustve gone wrong in the decode or the transoprt :(

[][ anyway... i have now re-compiled asciitool.c after
[][ a couple of minor changes....
    o - now reports correct cli field
    o - prints help page correctly

[][ *Also* i've compiled successfully tr.c for dos
[][ and translated as much as i could of
[][ the unix shell scripts to ms.dos batch files.
[][ all compilations were made with no optimisations whatsoever

[][ NB: run these tools in or from a dos window...
        i have only tested them on pentium mmx machinery

        asc-tool.exe : do raw flip of ascii pictures
        tr.exe       : unix character translation tool
        sed.exe      : unix stream editor
        lr.bat       : flip ascii picture left-right
        tb.bat       : flip ascii picture top-bottom
        cw90.bat     : rotate clockwise 90 degrees
        ccw90.bat    : rotate counter-clockwise 90 degrees

[][ they'll work to some-extent the way you always wanted...

[][ the batch files have some severe limitations tho' since
[][ the quote-char and the vertical-bar character seem to
[][ fail when embedded in quoted strings in a pipeline.
[][ none the less...

[][ heres an example......
