I've put together txt.sty that appropriately defines or redefines
(where necessary) LaTeX article style commands to generate reasonable
fixed-width font output.  A slightly modified version of dvi2tty can
then generate readable ASCII output.  Send me mail if you're
interested.

At present, you must change the latex input to include txt.sty.  A
previous poster suggested I put together a new .fmt file called from,
say, ttlatex.  The result would be more like nroff/troff, generating
two types of output from one input file.  I hope to get that finished
"soon".
