DVI2TTY is an outstanding converter for this.  I asked this question off
and on for around two years and heard of this package, as well as
CRUDETYPE.  A kind soul sent me a VMS port of DVI2TTY after some pleas on
INFO-TeX.  From the copyright notation, the VMS porting code appears to be
the result of a 1990 project at the University of TeXas.
 
To retrieve the 7-part VMS_SHARE set of the DVI2TTY for VMS, please include
the command SENDME DVI2TTY in the body of a mail message to
FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET.  The seven files are available for anonymous ftp from
niord.shsu.edu in the directory [FILESERV.DVI2TTY].
 
If you aren't on VMS, the critical filenames to look for at other ftp sites
include DVI2TTY, DVITTY, and CRUDETYPE.  These exist at a number of sites;
the VMS port of these is elusive, which is why I point ours out.
 
Regards,   George
