Indeed. Astest was a dos program which would identify the extend ASCII codes
which were in a text file which had been saved from a Word or other format with
extended codes. Thus it would tell you how many 145 146 147 etc. characters
were in the file. Armed with that and some search know-=how, one could go into
the file with a text editor and search for the extended codes and see what they
were, then replace them.
Scrub allowed for automated search and replace of extended codes in text files
as I remember.

Don,
Maybe you better describe those files from the old Duxbury for those who never
saw them. What strikes me as most ironic about all of this is that these
problems muliplied when we started receiving electronic documents.
When I ran actual print material through a scanner (and sometimes I still do),
there were problems sure. However, they seemed to be more predictable and more
easily solved or am I just being nostalgic?
