Quite awhile ago, a program was posted that purported to convert a MacWrite document into UNIX troff commands. This program does not work, at least not with the current MacWrite file format. Does anyone have a working version of this program? If not, is there another way to turn a MacWrite document into something that can be printed using the UNIX tools? Either troff, nroff, or possibly the DMD tools? Ron Guest ihnp4!druhi!cosmos

The version that we now have does a very nice job (on our 4.3BSD machine). What has to be done yet, is to make some font tables. Due to the summer hollidays and other pressing busines, things have slowed down a bit. As soon as we think our w2t is working ok, I'll post it (or send it to the mod.mac.sources moderator). -- ___ Frank Kuiper, CWI, Amsterdam. _][__| | ...{decvax,philabs,seismo,okstate,garfield}!mcvax!frankk <_______|-1 Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.
