I have some Word 3.01 documents that I would like to send to someone on a Unix host, preferably in troff format. Does anyone have a converter to go from any of the file formats one can save in Word (retaining formatting, esp. footnotes) to troff? Thanks, -- + Peter Wisnovsky pswisnov@phoenix.princeton.edu BitNet: pswisnov@pucc + "Looks like 'Drop kick me, Jesus, through the goal posts of life' + is off the set list" -Opus. +

I suspect it would not be hard to create a RTF (Rich Text Format) to troff conversion using lex, sed, or grep. I have thought about doing this myself but just haven't had the time or imediate need. A troff to RTF program would be rather nice. It would give UN*X/Mac people a means of exchanging formatted documents. -- Joseph T.
