If any of your source documents are in FrameMaker, or can be converted
to FrameMaker, you might consider our product, FM2A (FrameMaker to Ascii
filter). FM2A generates a fully formatted ascii stream, including tables, from
a FrameMaker file or book of files. The output is perfectly suited to VT100
terminals.
If you'd like more information, please contact me directly.
