I was adding some control characters to a text file for a printer and,
without realising the consequences, added a control Z in the first line
of the file.

I've tryed using pip thus:
>pip
*a.a=b.b[osStuff^Z]

Where "Stuff" is a string that occurs in the second block of the file.

No luck, Word Master still won't edit the file.  I don't have a lot of
the utilities around, BASIC-80 and PIP usually do the trick.  I tryed
reading the file in BASIC, no luck.

Any help would be appreciated ...
