One approach is to do a Google search on the name. The top site

I don't think that would work. kithrup is a UNIX engine and I'm
typing straight ASCII into vi.

Same here, except I'm on Panix instead of Kithrup, and using emacs
instead of vi. You do have to tell emacs not to strip that 8th bit.
Presumably there's a way to do the same for vi.
