There are two files that you want, both found on simtel20 in the
pd: directory.  They are ensoft.com and unsoft1c.lbr.

unsoft will remove soft spaces, end-of-lines, hyphens, etc. and convert
or lose dot commands.  Much more powerful than using pip to strip off
high order bits.

ensoft will take a plain text file and put the soft spaces and line feeds
back in.  Also useful.  I use both all the time.

You might also look at the fil*.* files in the same directory.  They are the
Irv Hoff filter commands which do much the same.

These are cp/m 80 .com files and thus will work on the 8 side of your 816.
