     Appleworks 5.x seems to do a pretty good job of cleaning up text 
files from the net. (e.g. it automatically clears out the annoying LF's 
which show up in most text file viewers.)  There is, also, a standard 
Awks macro which will get rid of end-of-line CR's.

     We did a color-killer mod years ago on our II+. It gets rid of the 
color in the text in the "text window" below color displays. We never 
published the details. I don't know about the color-killer mod you 
mention. What is it supposed to do?
