Hello all!  I need a program, perhaps in Perl or C, that will do the following:
>From an input ascii file, convert any strings of spaces more than 8 spaces long
into a single [space(##)] where ## is how many spaces were seen; convert any
other spaces into %b, and convert all newlines into %r.

I need this because I want to put some art on a MUSH and I don't want to do
this by hand!  It takes a long time!

Thanks all,

Justin
