I am looking for a way to convert whole ViewPoint documents
(with Tables included) to straight ASCII.  None of the
convertors (DIF, DCA, TabletoFile) seem to work.  I need
it to be as automatic as possible since we have a 
couple of hundred documents to convert.
The equipment we are using are Xerox 8010's and 6085's.
I am heard rumor of a program that will convert VP documents
to TROFF/NROFF format files.  Any one heard of this?
We eventually want to get these files to Unix for 
electronic distribution (we're supposed to be avoiding
the old sneaker-net).
I could use any help I can get.  I am not a Xerox person,
so bear that in mind, but I can get access to our local
Xerox guru.
	Thanks in Advance
