[comp.text] DVI2ASCII for MSDOS needed

dlee@s.cs.uiuc.edu (10/20/89)

I am in need of a DVI-to-ASCII translator which will run under MSDOS.  I've
heard talk of `dvidoc' and `dvitty', but I have yet to find a version of
either which will work on my AT clone.  Minimally, it must produce raw
textfiles containing text from the DVI files.  Ideally, it will also translate
some of TeX's nontextual output--such as graphs, tables, and boxes--into ASCII
equivalents--such as lines drawn with '-' and '+'.  I intend to use this
program to review TeX output through a talking terminal and/or a braille
printer.

Thanks,
