I recently got a set of diskettes for PC-WRITE 3.03 and was initially
confused over how to get the manuals from the *.PRN files that are
encoded in some wierd manner.   Howwever, after several attempts I
found that the FILEMAN command worked in this way

	fileman manual1.prn output1

The file OUTPUT1 then had the file in a form suitable for printing on
a printer (complete with ctrl-L's for page control).

Hope this will help you out.
