A member of our Technical Publications organization is looking
for a mechanized means of translating documents from
Wordstar document format to UNIX nroff format.
Additionally, she is looking for a program for translating
documents created on a Wang word processor to nroff format.
Neither program seems to be possible without a lot of
heuristics (i.e., there are many possible outputs that
can be generated from a given input),
but if anyone has a program that does part of the job it would
be appreciated.
Our Technical Publications organization uses nroff with a slight variant
of the MM (memorandum macros) macro package (i.e., nroff -mm ...).
