Keywords:TROFF MacWrite I need to convert a bunch of files formatted for nroff into MacWrite or Word files for a faculty member here. Before I try writing a utility to convert all of the nroff formatting codes, I'd like to know if somebody else has already undertaken this unpleasant job. Is there anybody out there in Net-Land who knows of such a utility, and where I can get my hands on it? Thanks, Mark ---------- Mark Day UUCP: ..ucbvax!ucsfcgl!mday ARPA: mday@cgl.ucsf.edu BITNET: mday@ucsfcgl.BITNET

MakeWrite will convert _any_ code in a plain ascii file to _any_ font/type/size in a MacWrite document.
