Thanks for the pointer. I found it at ftp.uni-stuttgart.de. It
compiles and does convert my .trf file to a .tex file.

Unfortunately, it doesn't create a .tex file that works -- it attempts
to use fonts that aren't here (a conversion program should stick with
standards, I would think), messes up simple things like centering
lines, and doesn't bother to convert the tables (doesn't know how to
translate tab stops), which is what interested me in the first place.

I guess I'll just have to overcome laziness. :-)
