ESCAPE Version 1.5
==================


The ESCAPE program is designed to make it possible to preserve spaces in
arguments to shell script commands even when the arguments must then be
passed onto another program (with the spaces intact).

For example, consider the title for a print job:

    arguments=""
    arguments="$arguments -s $(escape "$1")"
    arguments="-c 2"
    arguments="$arguments -o dpx,bw"
    ssh remote "eval lp $arguments"

The use of escape means that when the 'eval lp $arguments' is done on
the remote machine, any spaces in '$1' in this script are preserved.

Build Instructions (Standard C compiler - uses ISO C only):

    make

Cleanup:

    make clean
    make realclean	# Removes the program too
