Subject: Converting a PCL File

Hi All,

I recently received a file that the sender tells me is a .pcl file.  My
understanding is that the .pcl file format contains actual text plus codes
that instruct a laser printer how to print the material on the page.

When I read the file there are occasional words I can pick out but they
are sprinkled between so much gibberish that making sense of the material
is impossible.  Is there a way to convert this file to something more
closely resembling a standard ASCII file?
