Simply replace all occurences of [ with an escape followed by a bracket. Very easy to do in vi/ex/edit/ed/emacs and so forth. The result is not as good as the original, I'm sure, but it does work. I displayed the result on a Wyse 85 and Wyse 75 (aka DT100) and it worked fine on both of them (albeit a bit mangled). -- -----Lawrence F.
