Is there a reliable way to develop documents using [nt]roff,
and at some later time create a wimp perfect compatible file?

I am constrained to using wp by a contractual obligation to
supply wp output in softcopy.  After 2 weeks of wp, I have had
enough.  I want vi.  I want pic.  I want tbl.  I want troff.

I must retain my sanity.

Please send help soon.

Email please, comp.text is near the bottom of my newsgroup list.
