I heard from the grapevine that a conversion program was posted on the net
recently that converts troff documents to some format digestible by a mac.
The guess was probably to macwrite format.

I need to move a number or manuals from UNIX Sys V to MS Word 3.0 and would
like to make it as painless as possible (after using troff my tolerance for
pain is fairly high :-) ).  I have done half a dozen manuals with troff and
one with Word 3.0 and I'll take Word 3.0 any day.

Anyway, I missed seeing the conversion program. If you have it or know how I
can get it, please send mail.

Thank you for your support.
