Hi -
I'm looking for source code (or Mac binary) that will take MacWrite or
MS Word (for the Mac) files and convert them into troff for printing on
our Unix systems at work.  Does anyone know of such a beast?  Is anyone
working towards such a translator?  Any help or pointers in this field
would be greatly appreciated!  If I have to write one myself I guess I will
need the MSWord or MacWrite file formats - anyone know of a good source for
such specs?  Thanks in advance.
