I'm using WordStar on an Osborne 1 along with Kermit, trying to program
a microcomputer board I built using BASIC-52 (Intel).

Files created with WordStar must contain some binary characters, which is
ruining the "raw" upload of program code to the uC board.

I need a real, flat ASCII file on disk- so is there easily available a
utility to massage WordStar output?

I suppose one could use PIP's Z option, and/or an MBASIC program- but I'll
bet this is a problem others have already beaten.  True?
