	This is for those of us who appreciate ASCII or straight
	ISO_8859-15 rather than marked up files.  I have slapped together
	a crude C program that does scotch (or *cleanse*) text of
	<B></B> and so on.   Still... is there some standalone converter
	that gets rids of markup more elegantly?   Something where i
	can say

	% cmd file_1.html ... file_N.html and output file_1.text ...
	file_N.text?   

	thanks, gents,


	gary
