I paid the extra $99 (now $149, I believe) and got an ISBN number, which also included distribution to a couple decent distributors (Ingram's??) and inclusion at Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com. I bought books both from LuLu and Amazon (they use different POD suppliers) and was happy with the quality of both. Good luck! Bill.

However see <a href="http://www.planetpdf.com/forumarchive/56533.asp" rel="nofollow">this article</a> which gives you some idea of the different ways the text might be "encoded" in there. Once you know the encoding a sed script or any text editor capable of treating the file as "binary characters" regardless of the format implied by the extension should do the trick. <a href="http://www.searchandreplace.com/search_replace.htm" rel="nofollow">Here's</a> a utility that might work.
