	On my Ubuntu server (which is starting to fail big time)
	there is pdf2ascii.  It takes severa flags, so it may be a custom
	script from the Debian guys.  Here (FBSD) the scripts are
	similar, but much simpler; fewer flaf.s.  --Of course I haven't
	upgraded ghostscript-gnu for months.

	BTW, I was looking for the ps/pdf stuff in converters....  Live
	and learn!
