How do you get a plain ascii file (no backspacing, no escape |
2 |
sequences) out of "man"? Running it through col or colcrt |
3 |
doesn't work anymore, because the default output contains ANSI |
4 |
color escape sequences. |

|

grotty apparently outputs ANSI color escape sequences |
7 |
regardless of whether or not the output is a tty and regardless |
8 |
of the TERM setting. |

Who decided that everyting in the friggin' world was an ANSI |
11 |
color crt even if it's not a tty and TERM isn't set? |
