Howdy,

I just tried to download the latest version of the Handbook in ascii
(and latin1)[don't have postscript printer]. 

Anyway, the file is not straight text (extranious overprint, backspace,
etc characters) under DOS or BSD. This makes it very difficult to RTFM.
I realize that much works is being done and the handbook is secondary.
When can a clean ascii copy be expected? 

If you can upload the groff'd copy I'll run the ascii version and send
it back.

Thanks for your time

Keith
