NAME

       yodlstriproff - strip ASCII control characters

SYNOPSIS

       command | yodlstriproff > outputfile

DESCRIPTION

       The  yodlstriproff program is a very simple tool to strip ASCII control
       characters off a stream,  so  that  only  ‘bare’  ASCII  is  left.  The
       stripped   control   sequences  are  ^H  (backspace)  followed  by  any
       character; this mechanism is used to  underline  or  boldface  text  on
       terminals that support it.

       yodlstriproff  is  typically  used with the Yodl converters yodl2msless
       and yodl2manless.
