Okay, so curiosity got the best of me. I just reached out and found 
Excalibur and discovered several things:

	1. It's up to v2.1
	2. It's FREE
	3. It'll do text files okay (since TEX is ..., I should have guessed)
	4. It's at:	sol.cs.bucknell.edu @ /pub/mac
			icarus.riacs.edu    @ /pub/excalibur
			midway.uchicago.edu @ /pub/tex/macintosh/utilities
