NAME

liftext - a filter to translate an HP LIF text file into an ASCII text file

SYNOPSIS

liftext < Input file > Output file

DESCRIPTION

liftext is a filter that reads an HP LIF text file (also known as a LIF1 format file) from standard input and writes the equivalent standard text file to standard output. Each record of the HP text file is assumed to be one line of the output file. This file type is used on the HP-71 (TEXT) and the extended memory or HEPAX file system of the HP-41 (ASCII).

Note: liftext does not perform any character set conversions.

REFERENCES

The HP text file format is documented in section 11.2.8.1 of the HP-71 Software Internal Design Specifications Volume 1 (Hewlett-Packard)

EXAMPLES

If disk1.dat is a LIF disk image containing an HP text file called TEXTA then

lifget -r disk1.dat TEXTA | liftext

will produce a listing of this file to standard output.
