Just what I love, a text file specifically formatted for a by the character 
printer, where bold is done by backspacing and reprinting the character.  
Here, the backspace char was replaced by a square block in kwrite.  I hope it 
saved it as input though.  According to khexedit, those are $08's so it 
should print nicely on most any old daisy wheel or pin pounder printer even 
if it looks pretty odd in your editor.

I wonder if it contains enough info to get the os9 version to actually work?

Thanks for the link, James.
