	Satisfied though I am with TeX and LaTeX, there is a tool that would
make things much easier for me, if it existed.  I would like to be able to
print LaTeX output on a dumb printer, one that does not know about different
fonts, super or sub scripting, mathematical symbols or any of the other special
characters common to LaTeX.  Ideally I would like a dvi2ascii tool.  Does one
exist?  I would even be willing to write one if I knew where to get information
on the format of the .dvi file; does anyone know where I might a definition of
what goes into the .dvi file?

	Any help appreciated.
