[comp.text.tex] converting * -> tex

yorkw@stable.ecn.purdue.edu (Willis F York) (11/08/90)

Well i have the pleasure of being the only user at AGEN at purdue
to use TeX, so i am slowly finding things i want to be able to do.
I have heard of some programs to do these things but can't find them.
here's what i'm looking for.

1) a .Dvi previewer that'll work under suntools (4.0)
2) a Tex -> ascii file converter. (Heard of it for I*M's)
3) a way to split up large dvi files so i can print them in 3 batches
   and not hog the laser printer. (Better yet a way to print selective pages)

4) a Troff -> Latex or TeX 
5) a TeX -> Troff  (Ick, but someone i know needs it)
---------
for 3 i just want to have my own nice TeX files and be ablt to share 
the file in a nice ascii format to other people who don't use tex.


I know of a FTP site with a lot of programs but i can't find exactly what i need


Well thanx in advance.
