What I'd do, since I am all for hacks when it comes to temporary conversions, is that I'd just stick the save_char stuff that writes down the ascii stuff into the old binary save_char code and have it write down an ASCII file as well, problem solved. Then you just strip the binary one. That is an easy hack solution. I am sure it is easy enough to write a script, for a veritable UNIX programmer guru, that takes care of the conversion, but that is so beyond my current knowledge.
