OK, it's time to post write2troff again.  I will do this in the next few
days, unless somebody says otherwise (e.g., the owner).  Although it took
two requests for me to get a copy, I have been besieged with requests to
pass it along (I just received the tenth request).  I've sent it out
three times, once to Europe, and I have another request from across the
pond.  Obviously, there is a lot of demand for this program.

I'd like to point out that it does NOT give you a WYSIWYG typesetter.
Page boundaries change, tabs are defaulted, nonstandard paragraph starts
don't work correctly, headers and footers are lost, and the translation
is not perfect.  Also, it depends upon using the Berkeley -me troff
macros, so SysV people may be out of luck.  I'm not carping; the documentation
mentions a lot of these limitations.  And, within these limitations, it
does work.

So, either write and tell me you don't really want a copy or why I shouldn't
post it;  otherwise, it goes out in a week.
