I would like to make a confession--I actually wrote a paper using an
I** AT (running W***star, no less!).

To atone for this horrible sin I would like to remove my report from
the AT and move it to my mac.  Because this system has only one
serial port, I will have to make the Mac pretend to be a very
understanding printer.

I'm sure I can figure out the associated Diablo sequences for bold,
underline, etc.  But what is the format for the Mac word processors?

I have both MacWrite 3.n (and can get 4.0, of course) and a (Legal) copy
of MS-Word.  Since I dislike both for different reasons, I would settle
for formatting to either.

Even better, if I could write the file in MacWrite 1.0 format, both
word processors know how to convert this to their own format.  Plus,
I expect, 1.0 is simpler than either.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.  I'd rather not do a hand
conversion, since there's 125 pages of text with lots of bold and
underlining.
