      following parameters, one per line:

description

   The purpose of ordcut is to remove weird characters from a file.

   Now that it is written, I just realized that I can do the same
   kind of thing with:

   tr -cd [:print:]

   Yea, you would think.  But it turns ou tht that drops all
   the numbers on MacOSX!

   The removed characters are turned into spaces so that
   words can be extracted from the file.

bugs

   The program does not read the parameter file yet.
   It simply gives printable characters, including
   tab, space, linefeed and carriage return.
