Is there a switch/option to overwrite file in CHSTRING

[Leonid Spektor]

Cathy,

	CHSTRING does have an option +1 to overwrite original files. But, since CHSTRING changes files sometimes results might be unexpected. If you choose to use +1 option, then make sure that you backup you original files first.

	If you use CHSTRING without +1 option, then after you are satisfied that no mistake were created you can use command
"ren -f *.chstr.cex *.cha" to replace original .cha files with files created by CHSTRING.
