The col program is broken. It no longer filters anything so far as I can
tell. A script I had working now no longer works after this latest
update. I'm using it on typescript files to clean them up for purposes of
reporting other bugs or was until this discovery. In any case, when col
works properly it's possible to do:
#!/bin/bash
# file: cscript.sh - clean up typescript files for internet upload
col -bx < typescript >cscript.tmp
mv cscript.tmp typescript
and that normally filters all the escape junk out of those files.
