Subject: Word Star Problem, Help Please...

Does anyone still use word star on CP/M?  If so, does anyone know how to
remove the formatting char at the end of each word.  I would like to convert
an existing document into a straight ascii file.  Word Star puts an escape
code in for the last letter of every word.  When you type the file via CP/M
the problem becomes obvious.

I do know that you can work with non-documented files to eliminate future
problems, but is there a way to convert the file back to ascii?  I believe
all I need to do is unformat (^B reformats), but how????

It's been 8 years since I touched CP/M, can you tell?!!!
