This program strips the "trailer" from Mark Pizzolato's version of SIMH from
disk container files.
To use it, run the script with the names of the containers to be
stripped. Two switches may be included in the argument list; they
take effect when seen, so typically you will want them at the start of
the argument list:
-q: don't print any messages
-f: if a trailer is found, strip it without asking
By default, messages are printed as to whether a trailer is seen or
not, and if found, the user is prompted whether to strip it. In that
prompt, the default answer is "no".
