Synopsis:
   $stripansicodes(<text>)

Technical:
   This function "normalizes" <text> according to the values the user set 
   with set(4) DISPLAY_ANSI and set(4) DISPLAY_PC_CHARS.

   This function is roughly equivalent to $stripcrap(ANSI <text>).

Practical:
   This function is no longer useful and is retained for backwards 
   compatability.  New scripts should use $stripcrap() instead.

Returns:
   The input <text> is returned such that any dangerous or unknown ascii
   characters have been removed, or converted.

   set(4) display_ansi; strip(6); stripansi(6); stripc(6); printlen(6)
