I read something similar in a short story, about a series of pages with
letters with wierd spacing between them. The way to read the message was to
photocopy a page, and feed the output back into the copier, then copy the
next page so that it would print over the previous copy, and so on.

I always wanted to create a program that did that sort of thing, but never
found the time to  work out the details. Now that I remember it, I think I'd
like to tackle it. Thanks for reminding me.
