+# $EPIC: stripansi.txt,v 1.2 2006/08/20 16:57:01 sthalik Exp $
+======Synopsis:======
+$__stripansi__(<text>)
+======Technical:======
+This function returns <text>, except that all ascii characters from 14 to
+(inclusive) except for 15 and 22 (^O and ^V) have been converted into
+their printable ascii equivalents.  The net effect is that all ESCape
+sequences in <text> have been mangled safely.
+======Practical:======
+This function is not useful and is maintained for backwards compatibility.
+You should use $[[stripansicodes]]() instead.
+======Returns:======
+The input string with control characters mangled into submission.
+======Examples:======
+<file>
+$stripansi($*)             make sure default input has no ESCs
+</file>
