Well, sort of.  There is a public domain program MakeWrite written by Paul
DuBois that can take a text file with user defined formatting commands
and create a MacWrite file, which could be read into FWP.  It doesn't
do really fancy formatting things, but it's a start.

MakeWrite is available anonymous ftp from sumex-aim.stanford.edu in the
<info-mac> directory.  Source code is included, so maybe someone can
make it produce FWP output directly.
