If you have a copy of MacLink (bundled with some versions of MacOS 8.x) you
can create a drag-and-drop document converters. One with MS-DOS Text as a
destination document, the other with a Mac Text document destination.
Dropping icons for existing documents initiates the translation.

I've used it for batch WordPerfect-to-Word translations and singleton text
conversions. Can't imagine that batch text conversions should be a problem.
