Rick,

We use ?roff and MS-Word, as well as Ventura, LaTeX and everything else as
well. The problem is not simply ASCIIfying the text, but rendering images,
figures, graphs and whatnot that are difficult or impossible to ASCIIfy and
are the reason to select PostScript in the first place. When we produce
text-only documents we do exactly as you do - ASCIIfy with readily
available conversion utilities.
