There is a product called OmniMark from Software Exoterica in Ottawa, Canada
which we have been using to translate text to SGML from a number of different
formats including ASCII and WordPerfect. We have found this to be an
excellent tool and have used it to translate thousands of pages of text.

OmniMark is very full-functioned and therefore a fairly expensive product,
however they have an academic research licence which is only $250. Anyone
interested can contact Eric Skinner at (613)722-1700 or by email at
ers@xgml.com.

By the way I have no involvement with this company except as a happy user.
