Since you asked, I went back and scrolled through an entire file with
less and found that, in fact, all of the text is readable. There is
just a lot of "<B1>^Z<E1>^@^@^@^@" kinda stuff at the beginning and at
the end of each file. I think I'll work on a sed script to strip out
all the gobbledeegook.
thanks for the suggestion...jc
