Does anyone know of a troff or nroff to MacWrite, Word, PageMaker, or
anything else converter? I keep finding myself having to move stuff over from
our Sun to the Mac for PageMaker. I can import the text, but I have to
practically go through it line-by-line to get rid of the troff stuff. I know of
a MacWrite/troff converter. How about the other way around? Any info would be
greatly appreciated.
While I'm at it, is there any way to change the ticks and double-ticks used in
ordinary text files to real quotes? I'd like to do the same thing for hyphens
and dashes. I have better things to do than go through long files changing
every quote, double-quote, hyphen, and dash.
Thanks in advance. Please send info directly to me, as I may or may not be
getting this mailing list/newsgroup.
