Does anyone know where to find one?  Or a converter for any major
format to ASCII?  I did a couple net searches but came up empty.
Emailed responses are preferred.
Thanks!

Once upon a time, Jon McClusky posted info on the programs...
I saved it and posted the info on my webpage...
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/7373/conversi.htm
I don't guarantee any of it... but at least it's a start.

Actually, Scarecrow's FTP site has several ASCII converters,
DOSgifscii21.exe is pretty good: ftp://ftp.wwa.com/pub/Scarecrow/
http://members.aol.com/lester5374
Ansi home page (ANSI are in GIF format only.) 

FTP://members.aol.com/lester5374/ansi
To download the ANSI format (a lot more are here than are displayed on the
web page).
