[I hope these newsgroups cover this subject.  If not, please suggest
 better groups.]

We are in the process of converting/migrating from an IBM MVS
environment to a Unix environment.   There exists considerable
documentation written in "Waterloo Script" that we would like to make
available (easily) under the Unix environment.

Do there exist "converters" to translate Waterloo Script into something
more usable under Unix?  Troff, TeX, plain ASCII, HTML, other?

Or, do there exist "formatters" that will take Waterloo Script and
display it in a readable fashion under Unix?

We'd prefer the conversion approach, but...

Commercial or non-commercial products/sources/programs are of
interest.

Thanks,
