There are several ways. Most web browsers have a “save as ascii” option; the quality of the result varies. Lynx, in particular, being a text-based browser, does a credible job if you select the print option and choose “print to local file” instead of an actual printer. Graphical browsers often have a “save as postscript” option; again, quality varies. A product designed expressly for this purpose is HTMLCon (URL is ), a DOS command line application.
