I use "less" to read text files, and it does a fine job of translating
those backspaces into nice bold and underlined text. Looks good. I
even filter it through vile-man-filt for viewing in my favorite editor,
and it looks good there.
Of course, it's hard to put those nice highlights back again, if you
take them out. Why not simply filter the file through "col -b" once,
and save it that way on your system, so that you don't have to do it
every single time?
