Has anyone come across a text filter that strips off ANSI escape sequences from
a text file ?.

I'm capturing screen output from a TCP/IP session with a mainframe, but I'm
receiving all the escape sequences as well. This makes it very messy to read if
printed directly, and needs a lot of editing to replace all the escape codes
with blanks.

Ideally I'd like :

			C>type textfile | filter >prn

But I'd be grateful for any ideas on this - not necessarily DOS based.

Thanks in advance.
