Hi folks --

I work with a lab whose member mostly use Wordstar on PCs <shudder>
and I use LaTeX on a Sun.  They want to keep everything standard (like
proposals, papers, etc.), and I want to avoid using Wordstar and PCs
in general.  I know there's a Wordstar to Latex program (on Clarkson),
but I haven't been able to find one going the other way around.  Does
anyone have such a program or know where I can find one?  And what
kind of strange things will I have to do to get files from the Sun to
the PC to preserve whatever weird characters are in the file (the
Wordstar to LaTeX source said something about 7- vs 8-bit bytes...)?

Thanks a lot.
