I have a program written in C to convert wordperfect 4.1/4.2 to
troff using the me macro in troff.
It was written in turbo-c, I am rewritting it to ansi-c (unix).
It is not yet ready, but when it is I post it to the world.
At this moment it translate footnotes, special characters, new pages etc.
The problem is that I have not yet implemented flush right and indent.
Table are also a problem.

You can find the wordperfect codes in the book:
