My graduate students are addicted to Framemaker, and I to
UNIX/troff. If there are tools to automate the translation
between the two, I would appreciate knowing about them.

David Wheeler, wheeler@ida.org, has partially solved the troff ->
Framemaker portion with sed+awk scripts, which is useful but
not complete. The basic problem is to allow editing of documents
with widely available simple editors of text originating in either
format on machines using the other format, in this case MACs and
UNIX platforms. A Framemaker -> troff filter is the missing piece.

Thanks.
