I am using mpage (which takes a text file and
prints it 1,2,4, or 8 up).  But I have one problem.

Some files that I try to print have text of the following format:
abc^M___

where that ^M is really the control character.  When mpage gets it
(at least occasionally), it ignores the ^M and just prints the line
abc___

I would like to know if anyone has fixed this.
