The subject line says it all.  I have tried tr2latex, and it cannot handle
many troff macros I need it to handle.

A related question to those of you who are familiar with troff and TeX or
LaTeX: How does LaTeX compare to troff? I never learned troff (I started
with LaTeX), so I am not really familiar with input file formatting.
However, from what I have seen, LaTeX seems to be a much better and more
user friendly tool.

Please send e-mail.

Thanks,
