In comp.sources.unix Volume 10, Number 32 there is a package called
tr2latex written by Kamal Al-Yahya <kamal@hanauma.stanford.edu>. To quote
the introduction to shar:
	This program translates troff documents to latex.  You will 
	notice that the translation is not always 100%, but it relieves 
	one from manual translation, where the user might need to touch
	up on the translated document to customize the translation.
I haven't used this extensively so I don't know how effective it is.

This does however, contradict Paul De Bra who writes in <8738@alice.UUCP>:
