I noticed the same thing, but it is very easy to restore the picture to at
least partial working. Simply replace all occurences of [ with an escape
followed by a bracket. Very easy to do in vi/ex/edit/ed/emacs and so forth.
The result is not as good as the original, I'm sure, but it does work. I
displayed the result on a Wyse 85 and Wyse 75 (aka DT100) and it worked fine
on both of them (albeit a bit mangled).
