<h2>Description</h2>
<p>
Creates a CSD file from the specified input files. The first
input file that has a .orc extension (case is not significant)
is put to the <CsInstruments> section, and the first input
file that has a .sco extension becomes <CsScore>. Any
remaining files are Base64 encoded and added as <CsFileB>
tags. An empty <CsOptions> section is always added.
</p>
<p>
Some text filtering is performed on the orchestra and score file:

This creates a CSD from file.orc and file.sco (tabs are
expanded to spaces assuming a tabstop size of 6 characters),
and file.mid and sample.aif are added as <CsFileB> tags
containing Base64 encoded data with a line width of 78
