Depending on how you use the oki (nroff table? postprocessor for tty37
escape sequences?) you may be able to get around it. If you use a
postprocessor, you can use "col" to eliminate the need for reverse linefeeds.
With no options it produces output for a "dumb" terminal; with -f it
will use the ESC-9 forward-half-linefeed as well.
