Actually the "ascii" isn't really plain text....here are a few lines..

     Welcome to FreeBSD!  This handbook covers the installation and day to
     day use of FFrreeeeBBSSDD RReelleeaassee 22..22..22. This manual is a wwoo
rrkk iinn pprrooggrreessss

Most of it is, however, quite readable, as this formatting stuff is in
the title sections.  There is no longer a plain text version available
either from the FreeBSD servers or on the cd (or installed).  I created
a version without the sort of thing above by using ps2ascii on the
postscript version and then using fmt on that.
