[comp.sources.wanted] WordPerfect <-> nroff/troff converter available?

bin@primate.wisc.edu (Brain in Neutral) (04/29/89)

Does anyone have a public domain program or programs for converting
between WordPerfect and nroff/troff formats?  Failing that, does anyone
have a description of the format used in WordPerfect documents (versions
4.2 or 5.0)?

I could use a WP 5.0 to nroff format converter as well. Please reply via
email to this address:

You could use the WP5.0 PTR.EXE program to come up with a custom printer
definition which would spit out troff (look at some of the PostScript
definitions for ideas).

It is the other direction troff to WP 5.0 that interests me. Anyone with
a macro package?
