Does anyone know of a public domain program or da which will strip the high
bit off all the characters in a file?  I know that this is a trivial program
to write but I am not a Mac programmer plus I hate to re-invent the wheel.
This is requested by a user who has a bunch of files brought over from an 
Apple II using Apple File Exchange.  He says all the files have their high bits
set.  Maybe he is just doing something wrong in the transfer.  Any suggestions
or solutions would be appreciated.  Thanks.
