DESCRIPTION
     sgml2txt is an old and obsoleted form of the text converter command of Lin-
     uxDoc-Tools.  It is recommended to switch the new	form  linuxdoc	-B  text
     now.   It converts a LinuxDoc DTD SGML source file to ASCII, ISO-8859-1, or
     EUC-JP output. Output will appear in file.txt where file is the name of the
     SGML source file.

     The attribute/value pair "output=txt" is set for conditionals.
