We need to translate some LaTeX documents into troff -mm.
We therefore need a translator from:
SOURCE to DESTINATION BECAUSE
LaTeX troff -mm that would solve the problem in one step
LaTeX TeXinfo we have a TeXinfo->troff translator
LaTeX Interleaf we have an Interleaf->troff translator
(although it isn't a general solution
for interleaf....)
LaTeX ISIL we have an ISIL->troff translator
Can anyone help us?
Thanks--
