Now WordPerfect doesn't really output ASCII, now does it?
Perhaps by using a hack: printing through a stripped down printer
driver with only ASCII characters and without control codes.
But there are better editors that are easier to use than by using this setup.
What about Brief, Epsilon, BOXER (shareware, but I am not sure it can 
arbitrary large files), BINGO (also shareware), Elvis (vi clone for PC,
very good, free), VIM (vi clone, very good, for PC, also free).
