I need to format BSD man pages, apparently written for the new man
macros which can only be used with GNU's groff text formatter,
using "classical" troff and man macros (e.g., troff from DWB 2.0).

Does there exist a conversion tool or a macroset usable with troff?

Please respond by E-MAIL, if necessary I'll summarize.
