A very simple question for anyone who has been 
distributing a *text* file from a texinfo source:
  in some files .text on prep.ai.mit.edu, one 
can find headers like:

"This is Info file standards.text, produced by Makeinfo-1.47 from the
 input file standards.texi."

* Anybody out there knows how that works: 
* getting a *text* [not an Info] file with makeinfo?

Until now, I used some sed(1) command to strip off the
unwanted lines used by Emacs to locate nodes, and the
Tag list. 
I would prefer to use a standard makeinfo command but
wasn't able to figure it out (no hint in the Texinfo 
Info manual). 

Thanks [for any solution],
Marcus
