I too have no knowledge of Easytrieve; provided that it has a means of writing a stream of ASCII characters (in this sense, I'm using ASCII to include the C0 control code characters in the range 0x00-> 0x1f, and 0x7f), you shouldn't have a problem.
Having said that, a few escape sequences have binary data associated with them; this binary data could include bytes of any value (i.e. in the range 0x00 -> 0xff).

It's always helpful to indicate what type of document(s) you are talking about. If they are highly structured (claim forms, invoices, etc.) or unstructured (reports, lists, ?).
