NAME
       yodlstriproff - strip ASCII control characters

SYNOPSIS
       command | yodlstriproff > outputfile


DESCRIPTION
       The yodlstriproff program is a very simple tool to strip ASCII control
       characters from 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 commonly used with the Yodl converters yodl2msless and
       yodl2manless.
