There are a number of programs that will do this.  The one that I prefer,
and which I have been using for a long time, is NEWKEY.  It's shareware,
i.e. available from SIMTEL or your favorite shareware dealer [I recommend
PSL in Houston, at (800) 242-4775].  It's versatile, friendly, tolerates
every program with which I've ever used it.
