[comp.sys.mac] WriteNow->troff translator

dorner@uxg.cso.uiuc.edu (03/07/88)

I have a program for converting WriteNow documents to troff.  I don't feel
it is really done or I would post it.  And I don't know when (if ever) I
am going to finish it.

But if someone out there wants such a program, I could send it.  It does
a good job of translation, except:
	- it doesn't do footnotes
	- it doesn't do headers and footers (it does leave the proper space)
	- it doesn't do keeps
	- it ignores graphics
Minus those elements, the result does look very much like the Mac original.

I wrote it on a 4.3bsd Unix system; it should be quite portable.
