Is there a way to export to ascii without line breaks being inserted at the end of every line in the exportbuffer or .txt file?

I have tried:

  | (setq org-ascii-text-width nil)

But nil isn't accepted as an argument for org-ascii-text-width.

I have also tried setting `org-ascii-text-width` to something high like:

  | (setq org-ascii-text-width 1000)

But that messes up the title (a lot of space is inserted in order to center the title). Also this would only works if no paragraph is more than 1000 characters.

As you can see from this stackexchange question:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23326138/exporting-org-to-ascii-without-line-breaks

that I posted a while back, I somehow managed to export without line breaks when I was using org-mode 8.2.8. After messing a lot with `org-ascii-text-width` I removed the variable from my emacs al l together and for some reason exporting to ascii without line breaks worked.

I haven't been able to reproduce this in current org-mode.

Best,
Andreas
