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.
