- Now WordPerfect doesn't really output ASCII, now does it?
- Perhaps by using a hack: printing through a stripped down printer
- driver with only ASCII characters and without control codes.

- arbitrary large files), BINGO (also shareware), Elvis (vi clone for PC,
- very good, free), VIM (vi clone, very good, for PC, also free).
