can't print latex source code

[Camille Dominique <dominique@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again,

I can't get to print a LaTeX source file as such.
Reading the manpage, I assume I'd be using the option 'ascii' for that,
right ? However, what I get is still a dvi or ps output or something.
Isn't it supposed to skip the latex interpretation if I give 'ascii' as an
option ? 

here is the aps2file debug output (just in case ;-)
