 +# $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 
 +31 (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>
