Does anyone know if there is a mode or something that you can use in
EMACS to screen out everything that *isn't* ASCII text? I am
currently trying to get some old documents converted to a plain-old
ASCII text file, and I don't have access to the original program to
"save as text," nor do I want to write a script for this.
I would assume that because EMACS can distinguish between different
character-sets, maybe there is a way for EMACS to strain out the
other garbage for me.
