Have you got the 'convert' command on your system? Can then use command
groff to pre-process & format the text file:

groff  -ps 16bit.txt   (Output is file 16bit.ps  , save in current
directory - postscript format)
convert 16bit.ps 16bit.pdf   (Convert file format to pdf and save in current
directory)
xpdf 16bit.pdf

I found a little difficulty stringing these together with pipes but Steven
'linux dude' should be able to give the correct syntax.
Convert I think uses gv as a helper application, so you probably need that
on your system too... 'whereis gv' should find it.
