Binary package hint: bsdutils

BUGS
     Script places everything in the log file, including linefeeds and 
backspaces.  This is not what the naive
     user expects.

It is easy to convert the output back into what the naive user expects.
For example, the attached program, parses control characters and also
most common xterm (and linuxterm) commands to produce a file very close
to what the naive user expects. Perhaps such a program should be added
and mentioned in the BUGS section?
