[lug] linux utility ascii from tex

[Dhruva B. Reddy]

There is one.  Unfortunately, I cannot remember what it is called, which
was frustrating as I needed it to convert my resume to plain text.

You may find this hard to believe, but I have had better luck generating
PDF and running that through either "pdftotext" or "ps2ascii" (both read
PDFs). 

All three of these utilities require some manual post-conversion
cleanup, but I spent a lot less time on this after using pdftotext and
ps2ascii.  The jury is still out on which of these two I prefer.
