I am looking for a program which translates from troff to TeX, but it
does not have to translate the most complicated of expressions.  The
reason is that I have a large refer format database, and that database
contains troff formating commands for special characters, etc.  I
would like to pass the database over such a filter before passing it
to r2bib in order to create a BibTeX database.

Thanks to all,
