there isn't such a beast for CP/M, although it would be a trivial hack to
do it...  however, there is a little program; convert.exe that is included
in WordPerfect that changes just about everything into something else..
use is self explanatory..  

on the off chance that ASCII isn't listed, just go into WordPerfect and
press ^F5 and select 1:Save text or somethin.. this saves as ASCII.
