*What were you trying to do?
Run "ez2ascii" over a file.
*What's wrong:
It was taking a really long time. I stopped it, and saw that the ascii
file was huge!
money /mit/carla/accounts/Forms :-) ls -l printing_refund_form.*

When I "preview" my file, it's 1 page long. When I look at the ascii
version, it has the first half of my text, and then a whole lot of
nothing. The rest of my text doesn't even appear in the document at
all.
*What should have happened:
It should convert my file to ascii, without putting in more than a meg
of junk.
------
I'm well over quota in the account locker now, so I've got to delete
the .ascii file. I can reproduce it, though!
Thanks!
Carla
