This may not be what you are looking for but there is software available
which gives you full troff on DOS.  Using these packages means you don't
have to convert; they are fully backward compatible and interchangable
with your current troff.  Used with a UNIX-like editor, troff on DOS
could eleminate your converting effort altogether.
