The file is a PC-DOS WordPerfect file.  Move the file to PC or 
workstation with WordPerfect.  ftp is simplest, be sure to use bin
If you are working on and do not have a networked PC iyou can still 
produce PC-DOS compatible text and binary file from Sun equipment.
There is a useful utility to copy small files using the 3.5" floppy drive 
to /from Sun/PC called mtools.
  The command would be mcopy grassman.wp a:
To get mtools
ftp to max.cecer.army.mil
  cd mtools
  dir files
  bin
  prompt (once only to toggelof prompt)
  get README
  mget mtools*
  quit
Once you have the file on a pc, you should be able to use WordPerfect 
to read and print the file.  I ws successful.  Note that the ftp 
does not respond to the dir or ls command.  Rob Fraser assured me 
to use his instrcutions and have success.
Good luck
