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
