Does anyone have documentation of the internal format of STWriter
files?  I want to write a program to be able to read and print them
without invoking STWriter itself (especially useful for reading doc
files uploaded to my Unix BBS!).  If anyone already has a program
which does this, a lot of us would appreciate it, and source code in
C would make it easy to port to Unix systems.

The best solution might be to convert STWriter files to nroff input,
since some features (like headers) work similarly, but that is pretty
ambitious.
