	I'm using a MS-DOS pc and wondering if there is a program
	that can turn a TeX file into ASCII so I can do spell check
	and grammer check etc. Such a program would strip the document
	of the TeX control sequences. No formatting needed.

	I use AMS(Amer. Math. Society)-TeX. But any TeX control sequence
	stripping program would help

	Also, does any one know of a TeX program that can do AMS-TeX?
	I tried a shareware program from the wuarchive.wustl site but it
	found too many errors in a file that went through AMS-TeX error
	free.

	As I'm in the process of writting my thesis (Math stuff) right now,
	I would really appreciate any help.
