It's unusual request time again:
Has anyone managed to come up with a reasonable Microsoft Word (Macintosh
version 4.0) to *roff source conversion program? We've tried the program
(available on the net someplace) which converts MacWrite documents into
troff source, but too much formatting information is lost in the conversion
from Word format into MacWrite format for this to be really useful. Right now
we're saving the docs as plain text and (re)doing the formatting by hand, but 
this is rather tedious (understatement) and we'd like to automate the process
as much as possible. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
