The Subject almost says it all...

Do any of you know of filters to translate troff source files using
either the me or ms macros to either Word or WordPerfect files?

Also of some interest would be filters to translate the other way.

I hope my request is clear:  I want to be able to take a file
containing troff requests using one of the macro packages and
translate it into a WordPerfect or Word file that does the same
things requested of troff (e.g. font selection, centering, headers,
paragraphs, etc).

Public domain is preferred but commercial products may also be
considered.

Please e-mail replies.  I can't possibly keep up with all these
groups.  If I receive useful replies and anyone else cares, I'll
summarize to either or both of comp.text and comp.sources.d (or
other suggested appropriate newsgroups that can be reached from
here).

Thanks for any help.

Best,
