Someone asked me about converting MacWrite documents to troff. There is a 
public-domain (or maybe shareware) program to do this. If you're on the 
ARPAnet, it's archived in the info-mac directories of either
sumex-aim.stanford.edu or simtel20.arpa. It's called "macwrite2troff" or 
something like that. If you're not on ARPAnet or you don't know how to get the
file, I can mail it to you.

By the way, I still don't know how to go the other way around -- troff to
MacWrite.
